GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2)
GHRP-2 is a synthetic peptide and ghrelin agonist that binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH) in short, powerful pulses, making it a potent tool for muscle building, fat loss, anti-aging, and cardiovascular protection. It is especially popular among bodybuilders and athletes for fast lean mass gains.
Mechanism of Action
GHRP-2 mimics ghrelin, a hunger hormone produced in the stomach. This interaction:
- Stimulates GH release
- Increases appetite
- Enhances insulin regulation
- Promotes cardiovascular and immune protection
Key Benefits
- Increases growth hormone secretion via GHS-R binding
- Enhances lean muscle growth and prevents muscle breakdown
- Promotes lipolysis and reduces body fat
- Strengthens bones and supports calcium regulation
- Stimulates appetite (can assist with bulking)
- Offers anti-aging and neuroprotective effects
- Improves sleep quality and REM cycles
- Supports heart cell survival and repair
- Enhances thymic function and immune response
- May reduce liver inflammation and stimulate healing via localized stem cell activity
- Boosts mood and reduces impulsivity
GHRP-2 vs GHRP-6
Similarities:
- Both mimic ghrelin to stimulate GH
- Both cause short bursts (pulses) of GH release
- Both effective for mass gain and body recomposition
Differences:
- GHRP-2 causes stronger hunger stimulation than GHRP-6
- GHRP-2 is more potent overall
- GHRP-2: fatigue and desensitization risk
- GHRP-6: more water retention and milder appetite effect
Common Side Effects
- Increased hunger
- Water retention or bloating
- Fatigue or lethargy
- Elevated blood sugar levels
- Injection site irritation (redness, itching, swelling)
Contraindications
Do not use GHRP-2 if:
- You are allergic or hypersensitive to GHRP-2
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have active cancer
- You have a late-stage or severe brain disorder
Can It Be Taken Orally or Sublingually?
No. GHRP-2 is a peptide, and like most peptides, it is destroyed in the digestive tract. Oral, sublingual, or nasal forms are not effective due to low bioavailability. It must be injected subcutaneously.
GHRP-2: 10MG
Mix with 3mL (300 units) of BAC water
