GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2, also known as Pralmorelin) is a synthetic hexapeptide and potent growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that acts as a ghrelin receptor agonist. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on growth hormone release, muscle recovery, and metabolic function.
Studies have shown that GHRP-2 stimulates robust growth hormone secretion from the pituitary gland by binding to the GHSR-1a receptor, demonstrating higher potency than GHRP-6. It promotes protein synthesis, lipolysis, and tissue repair without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels. It may also play a role in muscle wasting prevention, bone density improvement, appetite stimulation, and recovery from catabolic conditions.
