GHRP-2
GHRP — ClassicOlder ghrelin-receptor agonist — strong GH release with mild appetite stimulation and some cortisol.
GHRP-2 is a previous-generation GH secretagogue: it reliably fires off a strong GH release, but because it's less selective than Ipamorelin it also bumps cortisol and prolactin slightly and switches on appetite. That appetite effect is mild next to GHRP-6 and can be a feature if you're trying to eat more. It still works perfectly well paired with a GHRH — it's simply been superseded by Ipamorelin for anyone who wants the cleanest possible pulse.
