Description

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 (GHRP-2) is a synthetic, 6-amino acid sequence, which is analogous to the naturally occurring protein met-enkephalin1. GHRP-2 has been shown to be an agonist of ghrelin2, which binds strongly with the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor (ghrelin receptor), stimulating potent GH secretion and appetite stimulation in animal test subjects3.

GHRP-2 is known to be a non-lipogenic protein4, meaning that its administration does not induce fat storage. The promotion of lean body mass and improved appetite has been observed in laboratory test animals.

Product Comparison

GHRP-2, a second generation GHRP species, is celebrated as a stimulator of long-sustained GH release (unlike first generation GHRP’s like GHRP-6) and has been shown to increase IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) levels simultaneously5. GHRP-2 is considered to be a ‘true’ GH secretagogue, reflecting its ability to stimulate the natural, body-mediated production of GH rather than introducing exogenous, synthetic agents to a physiological system.

The GHRP Family

The GHRP family of proteins is distinct from growth hormone releasing hormones (GHRH or GHRF) in that they share no sequence relation and derive their function through action at a completely different receptor, the ghrelin receptor6. The GHRP family is unique in that they lack opiate activity, though they are analogues of species that bear this quality7.
