Hexarelin Half Life: Comparison Table

Hexarelin 70–90 minutes 45–60 minutes (receptor activation threshold) 2–3× daily, 6–8 hour intervals 20–30 minutes post-injection Shortest half life among GH secretagogues—provides precise temporal control but requires strict dosing compliance and cycling to p

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Hexarelin
  • 70–90 minutes
  • 45–60 minutes (receptor activation threshold)
  • 2–3× daily, 6–8 hour intervals
  • 20–30 minutes post-injection
  • Shortest half life among GH secretagogues—provides precise temporal control but requires strict dosing compliance and cycling to prevent desensitization
  • GHRP-2
  • 120 minutes
  • 90 minutes
  • 2–3× daily
  • 30–45 minutes
  • Slightly longer duration than hexarelin with less receptor desensitization; better for sustained protocols but lower peak GH amplitude
  • Ipamorelin
  • 120–150 minutes
  • 90–120 minutes
  • 2× daily
  • Most selective GHS-R1a agonist with minimal desensitization; longer functional duration allows twice-daily dosing with consistent response over time
  • CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
  • 6–8 days (CJC) / 120–150 min (Ipa)
  • Sustained baseline + acute pulses
  • CJC weekly, Ipamorelin 2× daily
  • Ipamorelin peaks in 30–45 min
  • Gold standard combination—CJC provides GHRH amplification, Ipamorelin delivers acute pulses; less desensitization than hexarelin-based stacks
  • MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
  • 4–6 hours
  • 6–8 hours
  • 1× daily
  • 2–4 hours (sustained elevation, not acute pulse)
  • Oral bioavailability and long half life allow once-daily dosing, but continuous GH elevation disrupts physiological pulsatility and may reduce receptor sensitivity over months
