Reviews
GHRP-2 definitely increases GH but the hunger is no joke. I was eating 4000+ calories. If bulking, great. If cutting, use ipamorelin instead. The GH release is strong and cost is low.
GHRP-2 gives a solid GH pulse. Stronger than ipamorelin but with more hunger. Great value for money. Stacked with CJC-1295 for maximum effect. Joint pain improved after 6 weeks.
