GHRP-2
PROFILE
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) is a growth hormone secretagogue, which is arguably one of the most powerful Somatropin increasing agents. Similar to GHRP-6 but a little weaker, it is still often considered a better choice between these two.
Being a synthetic peptide drug, GHRP-2 increases the production of HGH by 7-15 times. In bodybuilding, it is used for appetite increasing properties and as a milder alternative of Somatropin. Unlike the growth hormone, it doesn’t affect the whole body but only goes to the muscle cells.
GHRP-2 BENEFITS
The most obvious benefit of GHRP-2 is boosted HGH levels. This causes a lot of positive changes in the body, all of which are basically GHRP-2 effects. It is rarely used alone because of its mild nature, but its functions will be very useful in combination with other performance-enhancing compounds.
Enhanced HGH production
By boosting Somatropin release in the body, GHRP-2 brings about many performance and health benefits:
- increased metabolism and recovery
- better sleep quality
- healthier skin (anti-aging effect)
- stronger bones and joints
Increased HGH levels will make you burn stored fat and build muscles at the same time, and give you more energy for workouts because of great recovery and healing properties.
Increased appetite
This is an individual trait of this drug, and some will find it a disadvantage, but for those who want to gain mass, this will be a huge benefit. GHRP-2 doesn’t make you as hungry as GHRP-6 does, so depending on your purpose, you can choose what suits you best.
Due to all of the effects caused by increased HGH production, including fat loss and building up lean muscle mass, you will easily get a more defined and tucked up physique. Of course, the final result will largely depend on your diet, workouts, and what other compounds you include, but this only makes GHRP-2 a versatile drug, perfect for any goals.
HOW TO TAKŠ GHRP-2
GHRP-2 is injected 2-3 times a day at 100-300mcg per shot. 300mcg is considered a high dosage that will greatly increase the appetite. You can inject subcutaneously or intramuscularly, 15min before meals, after a workout, and before bed.
This drug is recommended to use with other peptides, especially CJC-1295 or 1293, and GHRH. The duration of use is not limited; GHRP-2 can be safely used continuously at sensible dosages.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
GHRP-2 is a very safe drug, especially compared with many hormones. In most users, it does not cause any side effects at all. The drug is being investigated for 30 years already, so there are no long-term side effects as well. However, there are some negative aspects mostly when used at higher doses.
With doses higher than 600mcg a day, levels of prolactin and cortisol rise, and this may cause gynecomastia in sensitive individuals. Some may also notice swollen wrists and ankles and numbness in limbs, which are easily eliminated by dropping the dosage. You should also monitor your blood sugar levels and reduce the dosage if there are any symptoms of hypoglycemia.
GHRP-2 CYCLES
Using GHRP-2 alone would be a weak option, as it’s usually run together with other peptides like CJC-1293 (or 1295), GHRH, or Ipamorelin, and anabolic steroids for enhanced results. There is a sample of how you can include GHRP-2 into your cycle. Remember to adjust the dosages to your individual needs.
CJC-1293 (or 1295) — GHRP-2 — Testosterone — Trenbolone Cycle
- Weeks 1-10: 600mg Trenbolone weekly
- Weeks 1-12: 300mcg CJC per day | 300mcg GHRP-2 per day, 1500mg Test Enanthate weekly
This is more of an advanced cycle for mass gain. You’ll be also using Arimidex at 1 mg daily and HCG at 250iu 3 times a week throughout the cycle.
When you add more powerful compounds to your cycle, it’s important to lower the dosage of the peptide. Going too high with the dose won’t be beneficial in this case, so keep it moderate.
PCT
You won’t need a post cycle therapy specifically after GHRP-2, because it doesn’t cause any testosterone suppression. But remember that it’s mostly used together with other compounds, so make sure you know if they require a PCT.
POPULAR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
How to take GHRP-2?
It’s better to take it together with other peptides and/or anabolic steroids to enhance the effect of a cycle. Take 100-200mcg per one administration, injecting 2-3 times a day. Doses over 600mcg per may increase the risk of side effects. It’s also advised to start with a lower dosage and increase after 2-4 weeks. The duration of a cycle is not restricted but usually, it’s from 6 to 12 weeks. You’ll need to run a PCT if you mix it with steroids, so you’ll anyway have to stop the usage on PCT.
Which is better GHRP-2 or GHRP-6?
The effects of these two are similar, the only difference is in appetite stimulation and fat storage. GRPH-6 is a little stronger, but it also increases appetite and promotes fat storage more than GHRP-2. It’s not a huge difference between them, nut nevertheless, if your goal is to gain mass and increase appetite, GHPR-6 will work better, and if it’s more about cutting and losing fat, opt got GHRP-2.
How long does GHRP-2 stay in your system?
It is detected approximately 47 hours after administration, which is the longest detection period of all GHRP’s.
GHRP-2 REVIEWS
GHRP-2 is a great addition to any cycle, which will allow you to see enhanced results in lean muscle gain, fat loss, and recovery. Its affordable price and faster results make it a worthy alternative to Somatropin.
It is not very beneficial in bodybuilding purposes when used alone, so don’t be fooled by the name, the results will be weaker than with HGH. Its purpose is to let you go beyond what’s possible with a steroid cycle and gain a little more.
