Description

GHRP-2 Peptide

GHRP-2, also known as pralmorelin (also available in 10mg) is a synthetic growth hormone secretagogue which interacts with the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor. It is a research peptide studied to evaluate growth hormone deficiency as well as secondary adrenal failure. Extensive research has also been performed to evaluate its role in the regulation of muscle development, appetite, the immune system, and sleep cycles.[1]

GHRP-2 Research

GHRP-2 and Muscle Structure
Research in yaks noted that GHRP-2 peptide appeared to stimulate the growth of muscles in two ways: enhanced protein synthesis and accumulation, and reduced protein degradation.[3] The study suggested that GHRP-2 may help to overcome natural growth limitation that occurs in yaks because of food deprivation, adverse environmental conditions, and disease. The researchers also posited that “GHRP-2 enhanced muscle protein deposition mainly by up-regulating the protein synthesis pathways.” The most significant observation has been the potential action of GHRP-2 in reducing muscle atrophy through repression of atrogin-1 and MuRF1- proteins, which regulate muscle degradation pathways.

GHRP-2 and the Heart
Studies in fetal heart cell culture lines have theorized that GHRP-2 and its analogs (GHRP-1 and GHRP-6) may help to protect cardiac cells by minimizing apoptosis or programmed cell death.[4] The peptide appears to protect cardiac muscles from reduced supply of blood and nutrients, which may ensue a cardiac arrest. Studies on Hexarelin, a GHRP-2 analog, have posited that these peptides associate with a specific receptor.

GHRP-2 and the Immune System
GHRP-2 peptide researchers suggest the peptide may enhance the functions of the thymus, an organ that helps protect and mature certain cells of the immune system, especially the T lymphocytes.[5] T lymphocytes are crucial for adaptive immunity and the physiological capacity to combat complex infections. However, the efficacy of the thymus diminishes, which may induce instances of tissue damage, to diminished immunity. In such cases, GHRP-2 appears to have the potential to rejuvenate the thymus, possibly promoting the number and diversity of T-cells, possibly boosting general immunity.

GHRP-2 and Pain Perception
Researchers initially hypothesized that GHRP-2 may decrease pain associated with osteoarthritis in animal models through the stimulation of growth hormone production and the repair of damaged tissues. However, it has been suggested since that GHRP-2 may induce pain relief prior to tissue repair, which may occur due to an action on opioid receptors. There are four known opioid receptors.[6] Other compounds studied for their impact on opioid receptors appear to typically mediate a universal action on all four receptors. The generic mode of action may create challenges as the receptors may have differential and diverse functions.  GHRP-2 appears to be a selective opioid receptor agonist, binding uniquely to the receptors implicated in pain perception, reward system linking, and sedation.

GHRP-2 and Sleep Cycles
GHRP-2 has been suggested to influence sleep cycles. The peptide may increase the duration of stages 3 and 4 of the sleep cycles by up to 50%, as reported by researchers, as well as potentially improve the duration of REM sleep by approximately 20%.[7] It may further diminish deviation in sleeping patterns from “normal sleep”. Research is ongoing.

    Loved working with them! Customs confiscated my order. Immediately after I contacted them, they sent out a new box in the hopes that it would arrive on time. And it did, supper happy with they were able to do that for me. Thanks again for the help!!!

  4. Ronald Coley

    Excellent customer service and fast product delivery. I’ll certainly be shopping from them again.

    Happy with the purchase I made! The whole purchasing procedure was a breeze. Finally a peptide supplier that accepts credit cards

  7. Jennifer Smith

    LOVE any company that makes my job at buying products easy.

  8. Bryan Green

    Amazing service

  9. Grace Orteza

    I had a problem with the address, I had to change the one I had on my account and could not for the life of me figure it out. Taylor was an angel and helped me fix that up right away. The wait for help wasn’t long either, took like 5 minutes at most till someone picked up!

  10. Trey Wilkov

    I love the fact that you can find the same exact product for different quantities. I think that helps a lot

  11. Yingfei Feng

    All lab animals I’ve administered Biotech peptides to showed amazing results. Not even one experiment ended badly or with affected subjects

  12. Erick Sheafer

    Not a problem in sight. I am very pleased

  13. Ketan Datta

    I don’t usually write reviews however this company deserves credit for providing peptides in a timely manner always. Enjoy doing business here.

  14. Cassandra Buitron

    I had a pretty hard time comprehending the difference between GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, but I read some of the articles on their blogs and figured it out

  15. Adrian Junus

    I have been ordering peptides from them for about a month now. Can say with confidence that the product is legit and as pure as can be. My research is flourising and the results are outstanding thus far.

  16. Danny W

    First time buyer here. I like the fact I could pay in different ways. Options were decent when it came to the peptides. I’d say for them to try offer more if they can. just got my package this morning as well and nothing looks broken or damaged.

  17. Damian Ayyote

    Products were great! no breaks at all!

  18. Alice Jenkins

    Found you off a google search. My lab uses a company that honestly has the worst peptides and service so went a little rogue and bought my own to bring in. The peptides are emaculate and have aided my research so much that i’m pushing for my site to switch suppliers.

  19. Evan Bell

    I had a small issue where my payment was not going through. Was surpised to get a phone call from Danny letting my know the situation. Handled it within minutes instead of having to go through email and back and forth for hours. Loved the efficiency.

  20. Rafael Vega

    Had a few missing peptides. I emailed them and heard back within the hour. Seems like there was a mistake in the system and they offered to send me the peptides and offer a discount or give me my money back for that peptide. I chose the money back as I decided I didn’t need them anymore.

  21. Alberto Godoy

    Offered shipment to all the way here in the UK, cost was not too bad for international shipping.

  22. Davite Gabino

    Prices are great!
