Simple Peptide shows the highest mean assayed purity for GHRP-6 at 99.8% across 1 lot record. Purity figures below come from the certificates named in each row.
Score breakdown
The score has two halves: the research base — how long the compound has been studied and how much has been published — and the quality of the evidence the market produces for it, aggregated across every vendor that carries it: assayed purity, lot-to-lot consistency, readable third-party certificates and those vendors’ review record. It measures the evidence base, not the merits or safety of the substance.
Studied since 1984 — 42 years of published research
How long the compound has been studied. Fifteen years or more of published literature earns full marks; a newer compound earns less.
971 publications indexed in PubMed
The volume of published literature located. Full marks at fifty or more publications.
Mean assayed purity 99.8% across 1 certificate
Average assayed purity on the certificates published by vendors that carry this compound. Full marks at 99.5%+, nothing at 95% or below.
single lot on record, mean label deviation 2.7%
How tightly assayed purity and labeled-versus-actual mass hold across different lots. Rewards reproducible manufacturing.
3 of 3 listing vendors publish an accessible certificate policy
Whether the vendors carrying this compound publish per-lot certificates anyone can read without an account.
1 of 1 certificate from a recognised independent lab
Share of certificates issued by a recognised third-party testing lab rather than an unnamed or self-named one.
What is GHRP-6?
A growth-hormone-releasing hexapeptide and ghrelin-receptor agonist studied for stimulating growth hormone secretion.
