GHRP-2

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) Primary Function: Growth hormone stimulation, appetite enhancement, anabolic research Research Use: GH/IGF-1 axis studies, muscle growth, recovery, aging research Molecular Formula: C45H55N9O6 CAS Number: 158861-67-7 Synonyms: KP-102, GHRP2, Growth Hormone Secretagogue Description: GHRP-2 is a synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates the endogenous release of growth hormone (GH) through ghrelin receptor activation (GHS-R1a). Known for its potency, GHRP-2 increases GH and IGF-1 levels, promotes anabolic recovery, and enhances appetite in a dose-dependent manner. It is commonly researched for its ability to support muscle repair, immune modulation, and anti-aging mechanisms, particularly in subjects with GH deficiency or age-related hormonal decline. Mechanism of Action: Binds to GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptors) in the hypothalamus and pituitary Stimulates pulsatile GH release, increasing downstream IGF-1 production Enhances appetite and food intake
