  • GHRP-2 sits between Ipamorelin and GHRP-6 in the selectivity spectrum. It produces a slightly stronger GH pulse than Ipamorelin but also elevates cortisol and prolactin to a modest degree. For users prioritizing maximal GH output and willing to accept some hormonal noise, GHRP-2 remains an option. For clean, side-effect-minimal protocols, Ipamorelin is the standard choice.
