GHRP-2
GH release, appetite bump
A potent GH secretagogue with a milder hunger signal than GHRP-6.

Research chemical vendors can't legally label products with the real name, so GHRP-2 often appears under coded SKUs. If you're shopping and see any of these, it's the same compound:
- GHRP2

Your draw
What it actually is
GHRP-2 is a synthetic ghrelin mimetic that binds the GHS-R1a receptor to trigger a growth hormone pulse from the pituitary. It raises GH more strongly than GHRP-6 at equal doses while stimulating appetite less.
100mcg per dose is the saturating dose; more mostly raises prolactin and cortisol rather than GH. Dose on an empty stomach.
Why people use it
- Recovery and sleep depth from a restored GH pulse
- Body recomposition support alongside a GHRH like CJC-1295
- A cheaper alternative to ipamorelin for GH-axis work

How it works
Agonizes the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) on the pituitary to trigger a growth hormone pulse.

What you'll feel
- Deeper sleep within days
- Mild fullness in muscles
- Faster recovery between sessions
Pros
- Stronger GH release than GHRP-6
- Inexpensive
- Pairs perfectly with a GHRH
Cons
- Can raise prolactin and cortisol above 100mcg
- Requires empty stomach
- Injection required
Side effects to know

Typical timeline
General pattern for the Muscle category. Individual response varies.
- Week 1Deeper sleep, vivid dreams, possible morning hand tingling — normal GH-axis signals.
- Weeks 2–4Recovery between sessions improves. Modest fullness in muscles from mild water retention.
- Weeks 4–8Body comp changes become visible. Fat drops slightly, muscle looks fuller. Bloodwork check recommended.
- Weeks 8+Cycle off for at least equal time to restore natural pulsatility. Track IGF-1 if running longer.
The reconstitution math
- 1Reconstitute the 10 mg vial with 4 mL of bacteriostatic water. Tilt — don't shake.
- 2Concentration becomes 2,500 mcg/mL (2.5 mg/mL).
- 3For a 100 mcg dose, draw 0.040 mL — that's 4 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
- 4One vial gives you approximately 100 doses.
Reminder: 100 units on an insulin syringe = 1 mL. Always start at half the listed dose for the first week and rotate injection sites between arms, legs, abdomen, and glutes.
