GHRP-2
Growth hormone releasing peptide for GH stimulation
Overview
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is one of the most potent GH secretagogues. It stimulates GH release through the ghrelin receptor and has synergistic effects when combined with GHRH analogs.
Mechanism of Action
Activates ghrelin/GHS receptors → stimulates GH release from pituitary → amplifies natural GH pulses → synergizes with GHRH for maximum GH output → mild cortisol and prolactin increase.
