Growth Hormone Releasing Secretagogue (Ghs) Peptides & Chemicals
Growth Hormone Secretagogues, also called GHSs, are synthetic chemicals, both in the form of peptides and non-peptides (research chemicals), that stimulate Growth Hormone release. To truly understand what this means, first let’s break apart this by each term. What is Growth Hormone?
