GHRP-2

Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2

Also: Pralmorelin · KP-102

human trialanimal study

A synthetic hexapeptide growth hormone secretagogue. GHRP-2 is considered the strongest GH releaser in the GHRP family, producing the highest GH pulse. It's more potent than GHRP-6 but with similar side effects including appetite stimulation and cortisol/prolactin increases.

Potent ghrelin receptor (GHSR) agonist. Produces the highest GH release among GHRPs. Also activates hypothalamic appetite centres and mildly stimulates ACTH/cortisol and prolactin release. Synergistic with GHRH analogues for amplified GH pulses.
