What is GHRP-2?
GHRP-2, also called pralmorelin, is a peptide that switches on the ghrelin receptor to set off growth hormone release. It is approved in Japan as a test for growth hormone deficiency, but it is not FDA approved in the US. Next to GHRP-6, an older peptide in the same family, it gives a strong growth hormone release with less effect on appetite.
