Sermorelin GHRP-6 vs. GHRP-2 – What is the Difference?
Human growth hormone is an essential chemical messenger in the body that plays a role in some of our most basic physiological functions. Growth hormone’s release is stimulated by another hormone known as Sermorelin, or growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Sermorelin is bioidentical in nature to GHRH, a peptide containing 29 active amino acids. GHRH stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone into the bloodstream. GH then signals the liver to release insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1), another vital chemical that promotes the activity of GH in the body.
People are often confused by the difference between Sermorelin GHRP-6 vs. GHRP-2. GHRP’s are growth hormone releasing peptides that act by stimulating functions in both the hypothalamus and pituitary gland for the production of growth hormone.
This report will help to clarify the differences between Sermorelin, GHRP-6, and GHRP-2. An explanation as to why a Sermorelin GHRP-6 GHRP-2 (blend) is beneficial for use is provided in the next section.
Benefits of Sermorelin GHRP-6
To understand the benefits of Sermorelin GHRP-6, both with and without GHRP-2, it helps to know what each of these hormones can do on their own.
Sermorelin, also known as sermorelin acetate, is the 29 amino acid peptide that provides the stimulus for the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Increased Sermorelin in the bloodstream can help alter the fact that the somatotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland decrease their production of human growth hormone as people age.
- GHRP-6
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 6 is a secretagogue that works in much the same way as Sermorelin and GHRP-2 although it does induce feelings of hunger while having some fat creation and storage (lipogenic) properties. GHRP-6 benefits include:
- Better sleep
- More energy
- Reduced fat mass
- Increased lean muscle mass
- Improved collagen production
- Better healing abilities
- GHRP-2
Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 is known as a synthetic ghrelin analogue. It does not contain the lipogenic properties found in ghrelin. However, it works to stimulate the hypothalamus to promote a release of human growth hormone from the pituitary gland. When Sermorelin GHRP-2 is used in combination form, a 3-hour pulse of GH is stimulated, making it more effective than just providing the body with HGH injections.
The use of the combination form of Sermorelin GHRP-6 GHRP-2 provides the highest level of human growth hormone production in the body. Not only does this increase HGH levels in the bloodstream, but it also then helps boost IGF-1 levels, as well.
The actual Sermorelin GHRP 6 GHRP 2 dosage will be determined by the hormone replacement therapy specialist following a thorough review of blood test and physical examination results, as well as checking over the medical history form that each person is required to fill out before being prescribed any treatment. This ensures the use of the proper therapy and that there are no adverse or contraindicated conditions that could make treatment unsafe.
There are fewer potential Sermorelin GHRP 6 GHRP 2 side effects as compared to HGH therapy, which makes this the treatment of choice for people who are not yet experiencing a severe decline in HGH levels. The most common side effects are:
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Hyperactivity
