Do Peptides Help with Strength: Clinical Evidence Comparison

GHRP-2 Ghrelin receptor agonist; pulsatile GH release 1.8–3.2 kg 5–9% 2–3× daily (100mcg SC) Short half-life requires multiple daily injections; consistent results but logistically demanding for non-clinical use Hexarelin High-potency GHS; 10–12× baseline GH s

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • GHRP-2
  • Ghrelin receptor agonist; pulsatile GH release
  • 1.8–3.2 kg
  • 5–9%
  • 2–3× daily (100mcg SC)
  • Short half-life requires multiple daily injections; consistent results but logistically demanding for non-clinical use
  • Hexarelin
  • High-potency GHS; 10–12× baseline GH spike
  • 3.1–4.1 kg
  • 8–12%
  • 2× daily (2mcg/kg SC)
  • Most potent acute GH response but receptor desensitisation after 4–6 weeks limits sustained use without cycling
  • MK 677 (Ibutamoren)
  • Oral ghrelin mimetic; 24-hour IGF-1 elevation
  • 1.1–2.7 kg
  • 6–11%
  • 1× daily (25mg oral)
  • Once-daily dosing with stable IGF-1 levels; best balance of efficacy, convenience, and sustained receptor sensitivity
  • CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
  • GHRH analogue + selective GHS; synergistic GH release
  • 2.0–3.5 kg
  • 6–10%
  • 1× daily (both 100mcg SC)
  • Combines long-acting GHRH with GHS for amplified effect; requires reconstitution and injection expertise
