GHRP-2 vs Adamax
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
GHRP-2
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 (GHRP-2) is considered one of the most potent GHRPs available. It provides strong GH release with moderate hunger increase compared to GHRP-6.

Adamax is a modified version of Semax with an adamantane group attached, designed to enhance its nootropic effects and extend duration of action compared to standard Semax.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | GHRP-2 | Adamax |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) to stimulate GH release from the pituitary. Also has some direct effects on the hypothalamus. Causes less appetite increase than GHRP-6. | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical dosing: 100-300mcg administered 2-3 times daily. Often stacked with GHRH peptides for enhanced GH release. | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection on an empty stomach. Can be used at bedtime to enhance natural GH pulse during sleep. | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. |
| Side Effects | Moderate hunger increase, water retention, potential prolactin and cortisol elevation (less than GHRP-6), tingling sensations. | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. |
