GHRP-2 Experiences and Hunger Effects

Summary

What are the hunger and appetite effects of GHRP-2 compared to Tesa/Ipamorelin stacks?

Users report GHRP-2 triggers intense, short-lived hunger that overrides other appetite suppressants within minutes of dosing, unlike the milder Tesa/Ipamorelin combo. Some time doses around workouts or bedtime to manage the urge to eat, while others find the stack underwhelming and prefer HGH instead. Experiences vary on whether the hunger is worth it for muscle gains versus maintaining weight.

After pausing my Tesa and Ipamorelin combination for four weeks I restarted it. Checking through my peptides I noticed some unused GHRP-2, which is a stronger ghrelin mimetic than Ipamorelin. I swapped it in for the ipa and tried 150 mcg plus 1 mg tesa for the first time. Fifteen minutes later my appetite surged hard and beat the suppression from my other meds. Grabbing snacks I found the food tasted way better and I had no stop button. The spike eased off after a few hours. Because it clears quickly people often dose it three times daily for muscle building, but since I'm at my target weight I might only use it before a big meal or special event. How has it gone for others?

Some folks dose it right before bed so they just sleep through the hunger spike.

Same thing happened to me after dosing GHRP-2, I kept hunting for snacks and it beat the reta suppression. I switched to taking it in the morning before the gym so the worst hunger passes while I work out and the suppression comes back. Then another dose after training and I just wait an hour before eating. I skip the bedtime dose entirely since I know I'd end up eating again. How does GHRP-2 feel overall next to the Tesa/Ipa stack? Thinking about making the switch once this runs out.

You should test Tesa and IPA on yourself to see your own reaction. It felt pretty weak to me and no better than cjc without dac plus ipa. The ipa part doesn't drive hunger the way other ghrps do. The combo also costs a lot so running actual HGH makes more sense since even 2 ius a day works better than the peptide versions multiple times daily.

I really enjoy the Tesa and ipa combo. Started it to hold onto muscle while dropping weight and ended up gaining both muscle and strength instead. Hit my target weight after the first round and now on the second cycle I'm building more again. The total loss of eating control with GHRP-2 makes me avoid using it often. It could work well if I ever run stronger compounds and need a calorie surplus along with the growth hormone release.

Yeah I think I'll switch to Tesa and ipa once the GHRP-2 is gone. You really do have to try it yourself to know how it lands.
