GHRP-2 vs GHRP-6 for someone who doesn't actually want the hunger

Posted by fasted_scientist in GH & Growth Peptides - 1 points, 3 comments.

Right so I keep going back and forth on this and wanted to throw it out there. I've run GHRP-6 before and the appetite thing is no joke, I was basically living in the kitchen, which is great if you're trying to bulk but a bit of a nightmare if you're cutting or just trying to keep things stable. GHRP-2 looks like the obvious swap on paper because it still hits that GHSR-1a receptor hard but supposedly the ghrelin-driven hunger side is a bit less intense.

For anyone who's actually compared the two, how noticeable is the difference in hunger day to day? And does the GH pulse itself feel weaker on 2, or is it roughly comparable? I've heard people say 2 is cleaner but I'm sceptical that's just bro talk. Also a bit confused on dosing, the profile says 100-300 mcg 2-3x daily for each, so am I right in thinking you'd just match what you were doing on 6 and see how it tracks?

Cheers, keen to hear anyone's actual experience rather than the usual "bro science" claims.

  • tiredmira: I ran GHRP-6 first, same problem as you, I was basically useless on a cut. The fridge was winning every round 😅 Switched to GHRP-2 and the hunger drop was noticeable pretty fast. Like maybe 60 to 70 percent less for me, still a slight nudge around dose time but nothing like the 6 ravenous feeling. GH pulse wise I honestly couldn't tell the difference subjectively, sleep felt similar and recovery felt similar. Dosing wise I just started at the low end of the range, around 100 mcg twice daily o
  • fasted_scientist: Ngl that 60 to 70 percent drop sounds about right from what I was hoping for, still useful for compliance but not sending me to raid the biscuit tin at 11pm. Starting low and stepping one dose up is sensible, I'll probably do exactly that and run it for a couple of weeks on my current cut before I bother judging the GH side. Cheers for the actual comparison, that's more useful than half the bro posts I've been reading.
  • fasted_scientist: 60-70% less hunger is a decent ballpark, ngl that matches what I've heard from a few others too. Curious though, did you ever try splitting the dose even lower to see if you could keep the pulse but kill that last bit of nudge, or was 100mcg already the floor for you?
