GHRP-2 growth hormone releasing peptide
GHRP-2, like its brother GHRP-6, is a hexapeptide that is a pure growth hormone secretagogue. In addition, GHRP-2 is a synthetic agonist of ghrelin. Unlike GHRP-6, this peptide does not bring on the heavy hunger side effects; however, some users will notice slight increases in hunger, in this case, users may increase their appetite to a certain extend. Somewhere in between GHRP-6 and Ipamorelin, this hexapeptide has the ability to be a serious contender when considering which GHRP to use with your GHRH.
Dosage and Usage
GHRP-2 comes as a lyophilized powder. It must be stored in a cool dry place and should be reconstituted using bacteriostatic water or sodium chloride for injection. Once the peptide has been reconstituted, GHRP-2 must be kept in a cold place like being stored in the refrigerator 2-8 celsius drgree until ready for use. If needed, GHRP-2 can be taken in high dosages; however, it is still ill-defined how effective these high doses are. As with other GHRP’s, it's suggested to use a GHRH to maximize the effectiveness of the pulse wave combination in accessing the pituitary pathway to release growth hormone.
Side Effects
As stated, the slight hunger side effects tied to GHRP-2 should be duly noted. Usage of this peptide can also come with levels of cortisol and prolactin, especially if users are taking higher dosages – over 200mcg/injection. Another common side effect is the feeling of tiredness when you use GHRP-2. The most common positive side effect that bodybuilders and athletes will find with GHRP-2 are: decrease body fat, increase lean body mass, increase in IGF-1 production, increase in bone density and increase in cellular repair. While GHRP-2 has good and bad side effects, it should also be taken into consideration that compared to Hexarelin or GHRP-6, GHRP-2 is actually the mildest GHRP next in line to Ipamorelin.
Conclusion
If you are looking for anti-aging properties or for the ability to increase lean body mass gains on cycle/off cycle, GHRP-2 will help you on that. It is a very potent growth hormone releasing peptide. As always, it's advised that while it comes with some side effects, GHRP-2 will not shut down your natural production of growth hormone. With a proper diet and training, users can utilize GHRP-2 along with a GHRH as a tool that is safe and effective for athletes and bodybuilders alike.
