GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2)

What is GHRP-2?

GHRP-2 is a peptide. A peptide is a very small protein. Its full name is Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2.

It is related to another peptide called GHRP-6. In lab studies, GHRP-2 causes a smaller rise in appetite than GHRP-6.

This item comes as a powder in a sealed glass vial, made for research use only.

What researchers study it for

• Growth hormone release. Researchers study how it acts on the ghrelin receptor to affect growth hormone release.
• Pituitary gland activity. Studies look at how it affects the pituitary gland, a small gland linked to hormone release.
• Muscle and fat tissue. Labs study how growth hormone changes relate to muscle and fat tissue.
• Recovery markers. Researchers track recovery markers after training in lab and trial settings.

What you get

One sealed vial of white powder. Each vial holds 5 mg of GHRP-2. Mix it with liquid before use.

How to store it

Keep the sealed vial cold, in a fridge, away from light. Once mixed with liquid, use it within a few weeks.
