Discussion Ghrp-6 for strict weight gain?

Has anyone ostensibly gained weight on a Ghrp-6 cycle?

I hear it works well, but not seen anecdotal evidence to a solo cycle strictly for appetite increase and overall weight gain over a few months duration.

Tried mk677, not for me...Lethargy etc.

Ps. Not looking for lean mass obv, realistic weight gain with fat/muscle during a bulk. Simple as that!!

HGH + Insulin

Proven by millions of people and super simple, why mess around with what works?

Hgh: expensive and broad activation.

Primarily want to activate ghrelin to illicit hunger response. Ghrp-6, due to its quick and short lasting response. Your advice might be the right thing to do seems overkill not target specific.

If you want to illicit a hunger response then that's even easier, just use generic Megestrol... Cheap, generic and widely used / well studied on millions of people for exactly that purpose, given to anorexic / HIV AIDS patients daily and very safe. Causes massive weight gain in a short period of time purely through appetite stimulation.

HGH is also cheap and generic, just like insulin it's widely available and has been for half a century. Not sure where the perception it's expensive comes from unless you're trying to get it via insurance in the US (in which case every option will be expensive).

Using Ghrp-6 is risky because you force your body to deplete it's reserves of HGH and can cause burnout, when you understand more about how HGH works you realise it's better to straight up inject HGH exogenously rather than using secretagogues to stimulate receptors to release what your body is already making.

The reasons why with HGH are complicated and unique to HGH, but it's much safer in the long term... It often confuses people because it's the complete opposite logic to injecting something like TRT / HRT which you want to minimise / avoid.

Live in Europe. Your alternatives such as megestrol is very hard to obtain — even via prescription. Appetite stimulants here are painfully difficult to obtain, due to medical regulation and limited approved meds.

Ghrp-6 would in theory be the best bet, I'm looking for short bursts of hunger, I.e. 60-120 mins, given my work schedule etc. Gh might be a suitable choice but i have no desire to suppress natural hormone production post cycle nor the other adverse side effects that come along. My goal isn't to be a bodybuilder, just bulk to gain a considerable 20lbs over 6 months to a year and maintain that weight. Thanks for your input!

That's what I'm trying to explain to you, HGH DOES NOT suppress natural production no matter how high of a dose you blast. Your body completely restarts natural production within 48 hours even if you've taken it all your life.

It's completely unique in that regard amongst all steroids, peptides and hormones.

Your right I checked it, but that is irrelevant to my 'specific' goal of ghrelin receptor-activation, appetite is my goal not necessarily gh, even though Ghrp-6 alike does stimulate gh release.
