Syn-Ake vs Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Syn-Ake
Syn-Ake (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate) is a synthetic tripeptide that mimics the effect of Waglerin-1, a peptide found in Temple Viper venom. It's used in cosmetics for anti-wrinkle effects.
Full details →Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6
A powerful tri-blend combining Sermorelin (a GHRH analog) with two growth hormone releasing peptides. This combination produces significantly greater GH release than any single peptide, with studies showing up to 54-fold increases in pulsatile GH secretion.

| Aspect | Syn-Ake | Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Acts as a competitive antagonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, reducing muscle contractions similar to Botox but through a different mechanism. Provides muscle-relaxing effects when applied topically. | Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary via GHRH receptors, while GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 act as ghrelin mimetics on different receptor subtypes. The combination creates synergistic GH release through multiple complementary pathways. GHRP-6 also strongly stimulates appetite. |
| Typical Dosage | Topical: 1-4% concentration in serums or creams. Applied 1-2 times daily to target areas like forehead and crow's feet. | Typical protocols: Sermorelin 100-300mcg, GHRP-2 100-300mcg, GHRP-6 100-300mcg. Often administered 2-3 times daily, 30 minutes before meals or at bedtime. |
| Administration | Topical application only. Should be applied to clean skin. Often combined with other anti-aging peptides for synergistic effects. | Subcutaneous injection. Best administered fasted or before sleep to maximize natural GH cycle. The three peptides can be mixed together or administered separately. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated topically. Rare reports of mild skin irritation or sensitivity. | Increased hunger (especially from GHRP-6), water retention, facial flushing, nausea, tingling, potential increases in cortisol and prolactin levels. |
