GHRP-2 and the Fountain of Youth

GHRP-2

GHRP-2 belong to a family of peptides that were discovered back in the 1990’s as synthetic tissue derived amino acids.  GHRPs such as GHRP-2 act at the pituitary and the hypothalamus to release the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) by activating a G protein-coupled receptor.

In most clinical studies, GHRP-2 was found to be the most powerful GHRP that stimulated the pituitary glands’ natural production of HGH. GHRP-2 was found to boost the hypothalamus function as well.

A GHRP-2 therapy, that releases Human Growth Hormones (HGH), is one of the most effective ways of slowing down the process of aging in adult men and women.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of GHRP-2:

Ø It cuts down belly fat through lipolysis

Ø It increases the sex drive by stimulating the hypothalamus

Ø It improves protein synthesis

Ø It improves eyesight and vision

Ø It reduces liver uptake of glucose, which is the opposite of what insulin does

Ø It boosts energy and vitality

Ø It helps to improve the skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles

Ø It makes the heart stronger and healthier

Ø It makes the immune system stronger

Ø It boosts stamina and increases endurance

Ø It speeds up the recovery from wounds or surgery

Ø It boosts the IGF-1 production by around 50% in the first week of use itself

Ø It helps you get good, sound sleep

Ø It increases your calcium retention, improves bone density and strengthens and enhances the mineralization of bone

Ø It helps with liver glucogenesis

Ø It helps improve the functionality of the pancreatic islets

There have been several clinical studies, such as one published in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism in 1997 that show how a medically supervised therapy involving GHRP-2 increased growth hormone levels in both adults and children, and helped addressed issues related to growth hormone deficiency. It was found that the GHRP-2 therapy led to an increase in the body’s growth hormone, because of much higher IGF-1 levels. This has an anabolic effect on the tissues as well as several other benefits, as listed above.

How does GHRP-2 Work?

GHRP-2 activates the pituitary gland, which results in an increase in the production of the endogenous growth hormone. GHRP-2 enhances the body’s growth hormone naturally, without any of the side effects associated with synthetic hormone use.

GHRP-2 boosts HGH production in a two-step process:

Ø By boosting the growth hormone through an amplification of the transduction pathway which releases a hormone signal.

Ø By suppressing somatostatin, which results in an increase in the endogenous growth hormone levels.

GHRP-2 has to be administered daily, though subcutaneous injections, orally or by an intra-nasal route. For enhanced effect, GHRP-2 has to be used in conjunction with GHRP-6 and Sermorelin, which perform an action similar to it, which is to activate the pituitary gland to manufacture higher natural human growth hormone. This aids the functionality of the hypothalamus as well.

How Safe is GHRP-2?

GHRP-2 is considered to be a safe alternate to synthetic Human Growth Hormone, and it has been tested in several clinical trials. HGRP-2 has been approved by a number of scientists. What is important is to take GHRP-2 within the suggested dose, strictly adhering to your doctor’s advice. It is very important not to take GHRP-2 excessively as that might lead to side effects such as water retention, exhaustion or numbness and tingling in the extremities. GHRP-2 is certainly a better alternative to synthetic Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which is known to have too many side-effects.
