GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic hexapeptide used in experimental models to trigger growth hormone release via ghrelin receptor activation. The 5 mg vial by Peptide Hubs offers researchers a potent, lab-grade tool to study GH elevation, recovery, metabolism, and hormonal feedback loops. It is particularly valued in studies involving aging, tissue repair, and GH deficiency.
GHRP-2 binds to the GHS-R1a receptor in the pituitary and hypothalamus, leading to a sharp increase in pulsatile GH release. This action mimics the effect of endogenous ghrelin, though with greater specificity and potency. Unlike GHRP-6, GHRP-2 has a lower appetite-stimulating effect, making it suitable for studies focused on lean mass maintenance, IGF-1 upregulation, and metabolic enhancement.
For a deeper overview of its GH-releasing effects and receptor interactions, visit this NIH review on GHRPs and ghrelin receptor agonists.

GHRP-2 5 mg is used across various research areas, including:
GHRP-2 is often co-administered with CJC-1295 DAC for synergistic GH pulse enhancement. Researchers also combine it with GHK Basic for collagen and wound healing protocols.
GHRP-2 is commonly included in research stacks with other Peptide Hubs products:
GHRP-2 is not FDA-approved and is intended exclusively for research purposes. It does not aromatize or affect liver enzymes and is not known to be hepatotoxic or carcinogenic. Transient prolactin or cortisol elevation has been observed in some models at high doses. For verified studies and regulatory updates, consult ClinicalTrials.gov.
GHRP-2 5 mg is used in research to stimulate growth hormone secretion, enhance recovery, support lean mass retention, and examine endocrine system modulation.
GHRP-2 has a stronger GH pulse and less appetite stimulation compared to GHRP-6, making it more suitable for research focused on lean mass and metabolic efficiency.
No. GHRP-2 is not FDA-approved for human use and is sold strictly for research purposes in controlled lab environments.
Yes. GHRP-2 is commonly stacked with CJC-1295 DAC, DSIP, or GHK Basic for studies on hormone modulation, tissue recovery, or sleep-enhanced repair mechanisms.
