GHRP-2 (20mg)

Original price was: $55.00.Current price is: $50.40.

GHRP-2 is a synthetic growth hormone secretagogue that binds to the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor. It has been shown in research trials to improve muscle growth, regulate the immune system, and improve sleep cycles. GHRP-2 research has shown that it has oral bio-activity.

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates the pituitary gland to increase endogenous GH secretion. It acts on ghrelin (GHSR-1a) receptors, making it both a GH secretagogue and an appetite modulator.

Compared to GHRP-6, GHRP-2 is known for stronger GH release with less appetite stimulation, making it better suited for lean mass protocols and fat loss phases. It has been studied for its potential in treating GH deficiency, improving lean body composition, and supporting recovery after injury or surgery.

GHRP-2 works by stimulating the GHSR-1a (ghrelin) receptor, which leads to direct pituitary release of growth hormone. This mechanism bypasses the GHRH axis and is highly effective even in cases of impaired hypothalamic signaling.

Key actions include:

  • Rapid and dose-dependent GH secretion
  • Enhanced IGF-1 production via hepatic stimulation
  • Improved muscle protein synthesis and tissue regeneration
  • Support for lipid metabolism and body recomposition
  • Mild appetite enhancement, depending on dosage

It synergizes well with GHRH analogs like CJC-1295 for compounded GH release.

GHRP-2 is generally well tolerated. Side effects, when they occur, are typically mild and short-lived.

Possible effects include:
  • Temporary flushing or lightheadedness
  • Increased appetite (less intense than GHRP-6)
  • Mild fatigue or drowsiness after injection
  • Injection site irritation
  • Rare: elevation in cortisol or prolactin at high doses

Proper cycling, spacing of doses, and timing (empty stomach) can reduce the likelihood of adverse effects.

Potential Benefits:
  • Increased lean muscle mass and recovery
  • Enhanced GH and IGF-1 levels without exogenous GH
  • Improved sleep quality and cognitive function
  • Better skin, hair, and connective tissue health
  • May support fat loss and metabolism during caloric restriction
⚠️ Possible Side Effects:
  • Hunger after injection (less pronounced than GHRP-6)
  • Mild swelling or water retention
  • Temporary tingling or flushing
  • Elevated cortisol or prolactin with prolonged high doses

These effects are typically reversible and dose-dependent.

  • Not advised in individuals with active malignancies, due to GH/IGF-1 involvement in cell proliferation
  • Avoid use in uncontrolled diabetics or those with known pituitary tumors
  • Use with caution in people sensitive to prolactin or cortisol fluctuations
  • Monitor for signs of edema or blood sugar elevation during extended use

GHRP-2 may have synergistic effects when combined with:

  • GHRH analogs (e.g., CJC-1295)
  • BPC-157 or TB-500 for recovery enhancement
  • Other GH secretagogues (e.g., Ipamorelin)

No known negative pharmacologic interactions with common medications have been reported. However, GH stimulation may affect insulin sensitivity slightly in some individuals.

GHRP-2 has not been studied in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and is not recommended during these periods. Its hormonal activity could theoretically influence fetal development or lactation.

While GHRP-2 does stimulate GH release, it is not approved for pediatric use. Any use in children must be closely supervised by a qualified pediatric endocrinologist under strict monitoring.

GHRP-2 is currently classified as an investigational compound and is not approved by the FDA for therapeutic use. It is used in compounding pharmacies and clinical research settings but has not been approved for treating growth hormone deficiency or other medical conditions.
