What does GHRP-2 stand for?
GHRP stands for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide. The 2 is the catalogue number of this six-amino-acid peptide. This site's profile lists the full name as Pralmorelin (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2), with the alias Pralmorelin and a molecular weight of 817.0 daltons. It is approved in Japan as a test of how much growth hormone the pituitary gland releases. The test was checked in 77 healthy people and 58 people with growth hormone deficiency, using a 100 microgram test dose into a vein. That is a diagnostic test record, not a treatment approval in the US, UK, Australia, or Canada. The letters are a lab code, not a ranking and not a dose. Full record at /compounds/ghrp-2.
