GHRP-2 Peptide Description

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic peptide belonging to the group of ghrelin receptor agonists. It stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland, affecting the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

Attention! Growth hormone is dangerous!

Basic properties of GHRP-2

  1. Stimulating growth hormone production
    • GHRP-2 increases blood GH levels by targeting ghrelin receptors (GHS-R1a).
    • The effect is dose-dependent: the higher the dose, the stronger the GH release (but there are limits).
  2. Increased IGF-1 levels
    • GH stimulates the liver to produce insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which plays a key role in anabolism.
  3. Increased appetite
    • Like ghrelin, GHRP-2 can cause hunger, which is good for weight gain, but can be a disadvantage when drying.
  4. Improved sleep and recovery
    • Many users note an improvement in the quality of sleep, since the peak of GH secretion occurs at night.
  5. Possible effects on cortisol and prolactin
    • In some cases, GHRP-2 may slightly increase cortisol and prolactin levels, but this is usually not critical if used correctly.

GHRP-2 Application

1. In bodybuilding and sports

  • Gain muscle mass – by increasing GH and IGF-1, protein synthesis is accelerated.
  • Fat Burning – GH enhances lipolysis (fat breakdown).
  • Faster recovery – reduces injury healing time and increases stamina.

2. In antiage therapy

  • Improvement of skin condition (reduction of wrinkles, increase of elasticity).
  • Strengthening of bones and joints.
  • Overall rejuvenation by increasing the level of GH, which decreases with age.

3. In medicine (experimental application)

  • Treatment of growth hormone deficiency (in some countries).
  • Rehabilitation after injuries and operations.

Dosage and administration schedule

  • Standard dosage: 100-300 mcg per injection, 2-3 times a day.
  • Optimal time of administration:
    • In the morning on an empty stomach.
    • After your workout.
    • Before going to bed (the greatest GH release at night).
  • Course: 4-12 weeks, then a break.

Sample schema:

  • 100 mcg in the morning + 100 mcg after exercise + 100-200 mcg before bed.

Side effects

  1. Hyperglycemia / Hypoglycemia – GH affects blood sugar levels.
  2. Water retention – slight swelling is possible.
  3. Increased appetite -undesirable when dieting for weight loss.
  4. Numbness of the hands/feet (rarely, at high doses).
  5. Increased cortisol and prolactin – you may need to monitor or use inhibitors (for example, cabergoline for high prolactin).

Combinations with other peptides

  • CJC-1295 (without DAC) – enhances the effect of GHRP-2, as CJC-1295 increases the natural pulsation of GH.
  • Ipamorelin is an alternative to GHRP-2 with less effect on appetite.
  • Testosterone / steroids – a synergistic effect for weight gain.

Conclusion

GHRP-2 is a powerful growth hormone stimulator with proven effectiveness. It is suitable for gaining muscle mass, fat burning and general rejuvenation. However, it is important to observe the dosage and take into account possible side effects. Before using, it is advisable to consult a doctor, especially in the presence of chronic diseases.
