What to know about the research
The cited human experiment measured acute hormone responses. It cannot establish chronic cardiac protection or a long-term performance benefit.
Check the exact compound
The cited study tested hexarelin by two routes. Its findings do not establish equivalence with another growth-hormone secretagogue.
