GHRP-2
GHRP-2 is a synthetic peptide that stimulates growth hormone release through the ghrelin receptor and is known for its potency in boosting GH, supporting recovery, metabolism, and appetite regulation.

What is GHRP-2?
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic hexapeptide in the growth hormone secretagogue family, developed to stimulate the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. Similar to GHRP-6, it acts via the ghrelin receptor but has been shown in studies to be more potent in elevating GH levels. Research has explored its potential effects on growth hormone production, tissue repair, metabolic function, and appetite regulation.
Potential Benefits Shown in Studies
Possible benefits of GHRP‑2
- Potent Growth Hormone Release
- Enhanced Muscle Repair & Recovery
- Improved Metabolism & Fat Utilization
- Increased Appetite via Ghrelin Activation
- Support for Anti-Aging & Cellular Regeneration
Mechanisms of Action
GHRP-2 works by:
- Binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) to stimulate natural GH release from the pituitary
- Increasing circulating GH and potentially IGF-1 levels, supporting tissue growth and repair
- Enhancing protein synthesis and collagen production in research models
- Influencing metabolic pathways, promoting fat utilization while preserving lean mass
- Stimulating appetite through ghrelin-mimicking activity
- Supporting recovery of muscles, joints, and connective tissue in animal studies
