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

1. 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.
2. GHRP-2 combined with GHRH for optimal stimulation (2019) - Combination produced synergistic GH release 3-5x greater than either alone.
