What is hGHRH(1-44)?
The endogenous 44-amino-acid hypothalamic peptide that stimulates pituitary growth hormone release. It is widely used as a reference ligand for GHRH receptor and somatotroph physiology research.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
physiologic GH pulse support
IGF-1 pathway stimulation
pituitary receptor mapping
endocrine research tool
Research Summary
Human GHRH(1-44) amide has been used extensively to characterize hypothalamic control of pituitary somatotrophs and the downstream GH/IGF-1 axis. It remains a standard comparator in studies of GHRH agonism, secretion dynamics, and receptor pharmacology.

Ibutamoren
Ibutamoren mesylate (MK-677)
Ibutamoren is an orally active ghrelin receptor agonist that increases pulsatile growth hormone and IGF-1 secretion. It has been studied for effects on lean mass, recovery, and age-related anabolic support.
Growth HormoneAnamorelin
Anamorelin hydrochloride (ONO-7643)
Anamorelin is a selective ghrelin receptor agonist developed to stimulate appetite and growth hormone signaling. It has been investigated primarily in cancer cachexia and other wasting states.
Growth HormoneMacimorelin
Macimorelin acetate (AEZS-130)
Macimorelin is an orally active ghrelin mimetic used as a growth hormone stimulation agent. It produces a rapid GH rise after a single dose and is used clinically to help diagnose adult GH deficiency.
Growth HormoneCapromorelin
Capromorelin hydrochloride
Capromorelin is a ghrelin receptor agonist that stimulates growth hormone release and increases appetite. It is best known in veterinary medicine, but it has also been explored in human research settings.
