Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 Information

A growth hormone releasing peptide works to increase the growth of hormone levels for those who have a deficiency in growth hormones. It can be used on both children and adults.

Also known as GHRP2 or GHRP-2, the growth hormone releasing peptide - 2 has very potent properties and is a synthetic six amino acid peptide. These peptides work together to act at the hypothalamus and the pituitary to unleash GH (growth hormone)through a G protein-coupled receptor that is activated.

Clinical studies have proven that the GHRP2 activates the pituitary gland which then releases the HGH (Human Growth Hormone). These studies have shown that the most potent of the GHRP is the hexapeptide GHRP-2.

When the growth hormone releasing peptide 2 activates and stimulates the pituitary gland, the body's endogenous HGH production is increased naturally. To achieve this increase, there is a therapy that will involve a daily dosing of the sub-lingual which is done periodically. When this is done, the IGF-1 levels are greatly increased by using the GHRP2 with even better results showing when the GHRH is used with it. The entire process will also improve the function of the hypothalamus.

When the therapy is prescribed and medically supervised, the children and adults who have growth hormone deficiency will show a definite increase in the growth of hormone levels. The therapy also shows more benefits that include an anabolic effect on the body's tissues.

The best way to receive this HGH therapy is through subcutaneous injections. It can be ineffective if taken orally, swallowed and passing through the gastric tract. Many people have had objections in using the growth hormone because they have taken it in the oral manner.

Besides the therapy being done through injections, it is also effective to have GHRP-2 oral mucosal delievery via a sublingual, intranasal manner. This has also been proven in clinical studies to be quite effective as another method that may even have benefits over the enteral and injection methods.

Still the sublingual method is preferred over the others. During a clinical study with 15 children, all of them had a positive response in GH to the 15 pg/kg dose.
