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

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.
