Overview

GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) is a synthetic growth-hormone-releasing peptide, used in some countries as a diagnostic agent for growth-hormone function and discussed for GH stimulation.

How It's Thought to Work

It activates the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor to stimulate pituitary GH release, with a lesser appetite effect than GHRP-6.

What the Research Says

Has clinical familiarity as a GH diagnostic in some regions; long-term outcome data for optimization use is limited.

Regulatory & Legal Status

Not broadly FDA-approved for human use. Sold as a research chemical. Prohibited in sport by WADA.

Safety Considerations

Limited human safety data; unregulated product quality. Consult a qualified clinician.
