GHRP-2 vs Tesamorelin
Which should you choose? Here's what you need to know.
The short answer
GHRP-2 produces strong GH pulses through ghrelin receptors with moderate appetite stimulation. Tesamorelin works through GHRH receptors and is FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction.
GHRP-2
Growth HormoneGHRP-2 is one of the most potent growth hormone releasing peptides, producing robust GH spikes with moderate appetite and cortisol elevation. It's approved in Japan for GH deficiency diagnosis.
Choose GHRP-2 if:
You want strong GH release and don't mind moderate appetite stimulation — or you're specifically seeking the ghrelin-pathway effects.
Tesamorelin
Growth HormoneTesamorelin is an FDA-approved GHRH analog that specifically targets visceral belly fat. It stimulates GH through a different receptor than GHRP-2.
Choose Tesamorelin if:
You want GH release focused on visceral fat reduction with an FDA-approved compound.
Using both together
GHRP-2 and Tesamorelin hit different receptors (ghrelin vs GHRH) and can be stacked for amplified GH release — though this combination is not well-studied.
