| Message: | GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2) is a growth hormone secretagogue of the hexapeptide class. Sharing many similarities with GHRP-6, GHRP-2 is the first in this class of hormones, and in many circles, is considered the better choice between it and GHRP-6. It is not a hormone that is often used alone but is almost always used with a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) such as PEG-MGF. The compound may also be commonly found under the names Pralmorelin or GHRP Kaken 100. However, in most pharmaceutical and performance based circles, it has in recent years been most commonly referred to as GHRP-2.
GHRP-2 Functions and Traits
GHRP-2 first acts as a Growth Hormone (GH) increasing agent. Comprised of six amino acids, the peptide functions by stimulating natural GH production along with the production and release of ghrelin. The release of ghrelin is important as it also aids in boosting GH release in the body. With GHRP-2, this is accomplished by the peptide suppressing somatostatin, a hormone that limits the release of GH in the body.
As ghrelin is released, the body becomes hungry. GHRP-6 is well known for causing extreme increases in appetite, which may or may not be a problem depending on individual need or goals. GHRP-2 will release the same ghrelin in the body, but should not do so in a way that promotes such a significant increase in hunger. Some increase in appetite is unavoidable, but GHRP-2 does tend to have a far less impact on appetite than GHRP-6. In short, GHRP-2 aids in the promotion of natural GH production in the body, which carries with it numerous performance as well as health benefits for the user.
