Research compound. Used diagnostically in some countries.
In Plain English
A strong growth hormone trigger that mimics ghrelin — your hunger hormone. Very effective at spiking GH levels but also raises cortisol and appetite as side effects. Often stacked with a GHRH peptide for a synergistic "1+1=5" effect.
Overview
GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide and potent ghrelin receptor agonist. It produces robust GH release, stronger than Ipamorelin but with some cortisol/prolactin stimulation. Used in research for GH optimization, body composition, and recovery.
Common Formats
