Lactoferricin vs Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Lactoferricin
Lactoferricin is an antimicrobial peptide derived from lactoferrin, a protein found in milk and other secretions. It has potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
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 | Lactoferricin | Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Binds to and disrupts microbial membranes through electrostatic interactions. Also binds to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to neutralize endotoxins and has immunomodulatory effects. | 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 | Research applications vary widely. Oral lactoferrin supplements (containing lactoferricin precursor) typically dosed at 100-400mg daily. | 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 | Available through lactoferrin supplementation orally. Purified lactoferricin primarily used in research settings. | 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 | Lactoferrin supplementation is generally well-tolerated. May cause GI upset in some individuals. Derived from milk so caution with dairy allergies. | Increased hunger (especially from GHRP-6), water retention, facial flushing, nausea, tingling, potential increases in cortisol and prolactin levels. |
