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.
Mechanism of Action
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.
Typical Dosage (Research)
Typical dosing: 100-300mcg administered 2-3 times daily. Often stacked with GHRH peptides for enhanced GH release.
Subcutaneous injection on an empty stomach. Can be used at bedtime to enhance natural GH pulse during sleep.
Side Effects & Risks
Moderate hunger increase, water retention, potential prolactin and cortisol elevation (less than GHRP-6), tingling sensations.
May affect blood glucose. Long-term effects on pituitary function not fully characterized. Quality concerns with research products.
Who Uses GHRP-2
Those seeking GH benefits with less appetite stimulation than GHRP-6, bodybuilders, anti-aging enthusiasts.
