Research Use Only
This product is intended for laboratory research purposes only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, food, cosmetic, household, or agricultural applications. Not for human consumption.
Overview
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a potent ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist. Among the GHRP family, GHRP-2 produces one of the strongest GH release responses while having less appetite-stimulating effects than GHRP-6.
Mechanism of Action
GHRP-2 stimulates GH release through ghrelin receptor activation:
- Direct pituitary somatotroph stimulation
- Ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonism
- Dose-dependent GH release
- Synergistic with GHRH analogs
