GHRP-2

Key Benefits

• Stimulates Growth Hormone Release – Promotes natural GH secretion by acting on ghrelin receptors.
• Increased Muscle Mass – Supports protein synthesis and muscle growth via elevated GH and IGF-1 levels.
• Fat Loss Support – Encourages lipolysis and metabolic efficiency.
• Enhanced Recovery – Speeds up healing and recovery from workouts or injuries.
• Improved Sleep & Wellbeing – May enhance deep sleep and general wellness by balancing GH rhythms.

Mechanism of Action

• GHRP-2 binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a), mimicking the effects of natural ghrelin.
• This interaction triggers a pulse of GH from the anterior pituitary gland.
• It works independently of the hypothalamus, and when paired with GHRH analogs like CJC-1295, the effects are amplified synergistically.

Dosage Recommendations

• Typical Dosage – 100–300 mcg per dose, 1–3 times per day depending on research objectives.
• Administration – Subcutaneous injection is most common, typically taken before meals or workouts.
• Cycling – Often used in 4–12 week research cycles with rest periods to prevent receptor desensitization.

Research and Studies

• Research has shown that GHRP-2 increases GH levels significantly in both young and elderly subjects.
• In studies, it has improved lean body mass, reduced fat mass, and enhanced recovery after physical stress.
• It is often studied alongside GHRH peptides (like Sermorelin or CJC-1295) for maximum GH stimulation.

Possible Side Effects and Contraindications

• Common Side Effects – Hunger stimulation, water retention, tingling in extremities, or mild joint stiffness.
• Precautions – Not recommended for individuals with active cancer or endocrine disorders without medical supervision.
• Drug Interactions – May amplify effects when combined with insulin, IGF-1, or GH therapy; careful monitoring is advised in stacked protocols.

Storage and Handling Instructions

• Store reconstituted GHRP-2 in a refrigerator at 2–8°C (36–46°F).
• Keep lyophilized (dry) powder in a cool, dark location until mixed.
• Use sterile handling techniques to maintain peptide stability and integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What’s the difference between GHRP-2 and GHRP-6?

GHRP-2 is more potent in GH release and causes less appetite stimulation compared to GHRP-6.

• Can GHRP-2 be stacked with other peptides?

Yes, it’s commonly combined with CJC-1295 or Sermorelin for enhanced GH secretion in research settings.

• How soon are results seen in studies?

Improvements in recovery, sleep, and body composition are typically observed within 2– 4 weeks of consistent use.
