How to Use Peptides for Athletic Performance: Comparison
GHRP-2 Ghrelin receptor agonist. Stimulates pituitary GH release 100–300 mcg, 1–2× daily 15–30 minutes (GH spike) Lean mass gain during caloric surplus Strongest acute GH pulse. Best for muscle hypertrophy cycles MK 677 Oral ghrelin mimetic. Sustained 24-hour

- GHRP-2
- Ghrelin receptor agonist. Stimulates pituitary GH release
- 100–300 mcg, 1–2× daily
- 15–30 minutes (GH spike)
- Lean mass gain during caloric surplus
- Strongest acute GH pulse. Best for muscle hypertrophy cycles
- MK 677
- Oral ghrelin mimetic. Sustained 24-hour GH elevation
- 10–25 mg once daily
- 60–90 minutes (sustained)
- Athletes who cannot inject or need consistent baseline GH
- Most convenient GHS. Oral bioavailability eliminates injection
- BPC-157
- VEGF upregulation. Promotes angiogenesis at injury sites
- 250–500 mcg, 2× daily
- 48–72 hours (tissue repair)
- Tendon, ligament, or joint recovery
- No direct performance gain. Reduces injury downtime
- TB-500
- Actin upregulation. Accelerates cell migration and repair
- 2–5 mg, 2× weekly
- 7–14 days (systemic repair)
- Chronic injury or post-surgical recovery
- Longer half-life than BPC-157. Fewer injections required
- CJC-1295 Ipamorelin
- GHRH + ghrelin agonist. Dual-pathway GH stimulation
- 100–200 mcg each, 1–2× daily
- 30 minutes (immediate) + sustained 4–6 hours
- Body recomposition during caloric deficit
- Synergistic blend. Produces both peak and sustained GH elevation
