GHRP-2 (also known as Pralmorelin) is a growth-hormone-releasing peptide studied as a GH secretagogue. This page covers what the published research does — and does not — establish about it in relation to growth-hormone support.
GHRP-2 is researched for Growth hormone release — which is why it appears in discussions of growth-hormone support.
Research status: Human pharmacology and diagnostic use; not an approved therapy for general use.
How GHRP-2 is thought to work
GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) is a growth-hormone-releasing peptide that mimics ghrelin to stimulate growth-hormone secretion from the pituitary. It has been used diagnostically to assess growth-hormone reserve.
What it does not establish
Endocrine-active and can raise appetite/prolactin. Medical supervision advised.
Nothing on this page is a recommendation to use GHRP-2, and Selpho publishes no dosing, reconstitution or sourcing information. Read how we decide what goes in the library.
