Critical read: the GHRP-2 literature is thinner than it looks

GHRP-2 methodology

Fair warning, this is long. Summary at the end.

Rodent study. Always a rodent study. I’m not saying that makes it worthless, I’m saying I wish people led with it.

The gap between what the study measured and what people claim it showed is genuinely enormous.

Most of what gets cited for this traces back to one group publishing in the same journal repeatedly. That’s not damning on its own but it’s worth knowing.

Things I still don’t know: whether any of this is batch-specific, whether it holds outside the one case I looked at, and whether I’m reading the numbers right in the first place.

TL;DR: not sure what to believe about GHRP-2, the sources people cite don’t say what they’re claimed to say, and I’d like to hear from anyone who’s actually looked at this properly.

Fair warning, the answer you get here will be better than the answer you get in the bigger subs, but it will still be people on the internet.

Genuinely asking, not being difficult: what is the actual source for that? Everyone repeats it and nobody links anything.

Mass spec gives you molecular weight, which confirms identity but says nothing about whether the sequence is correct. Two different peptides can share a mass.
