GHRP-2
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide
/WHAT_IT_IS
GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a ghrelin receptor agonist to potently stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary.
/USAGE
Used in research to evaluate GH secretagogue activity, body composition changes, and metabolic effects.
/MECHANISM_OF_ACTION
Binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a) in the hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering G-protein–coupled signaling that increases pulsatile GH secretion.
Reported Benefits
- +Enhanced pulsatile growth hormone release
- +Improved lean muscle mass
- +Accelerated fat metabolism
- +Increased appetite (via ghrelin receptor activation)
Reported Side Effects
- −Transient increase in cortisol and prolactin
- −Mild water retention
- −Increased hunger
- −Possible tingling or numbness at injection site
/STACKED_WITH
/RESEARCH_NOTES
Often dosed 1–3x daily on an empty stomach to maximize GH pulses; synergistic with GHRH analogs for enhanced GH release.
