GHRP-2 Acetate (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic hexapeptide, a potent growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that mimics ghrelin, stimulating GH release and increasing appetite, used in research for growth hormone deficiency and potential anti-aging or body composition benefits like muscle gain and fat loss, but often researched for its robust effects on food intake and GH secretion in humans and animals, acting as a powerful tool to study ghrelin pathways.
What it is:
- A chain of six amino acids (a hexapeptide) that signals the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone.
- It’s also known as Pralmorelin or KP-102.
How it Works:
- Binds to ghrelin receptors, stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary.
- It also significantly increases appetite, similar to ghrelin, leading to greater food intake.
Potential Effects (Based on Research):
- Increases GH: Promotes the body’s own growth hormone production.
- Boosts Appetite: Can significantly increase hunger and food consumption.
- Muscle & Fat: May support lean muscle growth and reduce body fat.
- Immune System & Sleep: May strengthen the immune system and improve sleep quality.
Research & Applications:
- Investigated for treating growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and short stature.
- Used in studies to understand ghrelin’s role in eating behavior.
- Sold as a research chemical, with high-purity versions available from various suppliers.
