GHRP-2
-
GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide-2) stimulates the release of growth hormone (GH) by acting on the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) in the pituitary gland. It mimics the effects of ghrelin, a naturally occurring hunger hormone, increasing GH secretion and enhancing downstream effects such as muscle growth, fat metabolism, and cellular regeneration. GHRP-2 also supports the production of IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1), which plays a key role in muscle repair, regeneration, and overall anabolic processes.
