GHRP-2
A synthetic hexapeptide and second-generation growth hormone secretagogue. GHRP-2 acts on both ghrelin receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, producing robust GH pulses. Frequently co-administered with GHRH analogues in research to amplify GH release.
Research Use Only. GHRP-2 is sold exclusively for in vitro research and laboratory use by qualified scientists. Not for human consumption, veterinary use, or clinical administration.
