GHRP-2 Research Guide
Full name: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (Pralmorelin)
A synthetic hexapeptide and one of the most potent GHRPs. Produces strong GH release but also modestly increases cortisol and prolactin.
How GHRP-2 Works
Potent GHSR-1a agonist stimulating GH release and appetite. Also mildly stimulates ACTH/cortisol release.
Dosing Protocol
- Typical dose: 100-300 mcg
- Frequency: 2-3x daily
- Duration: 8-12 weeks
- Route: Subcutaneous
Reported Benefits
- Strongest GH release among GHRPs
- Appetite stimulation
- Recovery improvement
- Enhanced sleep
- Muscle preservation
Potential Side Effects
- Increased appetite (significant)
- Cortisol elevation (mild)
- Prolactin increase
- Water retention
Research Citations
- Comparative GH-releasing efficacy of GHRP-2 vs GHRP-6 (2018) - GHRP-2 produced 40% higher peak GH than GHRP-6 with slightly less appetite stimulation.
- GHRP-2 combined with GHRH for optimal stimulation (2019) - Combination produced synergistic GH release 3-5x greater than either alone.
