What benefits are associated with GHRP-2?

GHRP-2 is studied for: potent GH release via GHS-R1a agonism, co-stimulation of cortisol and prolactin (non-selective profile), synergistic GH amplification when combined with GHRH analogs, validated diagnostic GH stimulation agent (Japan clinical use).

synergistic GH amplification when combined with GHRH analogs
validated diagnostic GH stimulation agent (Japan clinical use)

Mechanism

Synthetic hexapeptide that stimulates pulsatile growth hormone release from the anterior pituitary by acting on the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a). Commonly stacked with GHRH analogs such as CJC-1295 or Sermorelin to amplify GH output synergistically.
