As you may know, I have tried many combinations of ghrp's with mod grf in an attempt to get the strongest hgh pulse possible without desensitizing the pituitary gland. I think I have found the most effective, and most affordable method. I have been BOOM dosing GHRP-2 at 1,000mcg per session, for a few weeks now, 2-3x/day with what appears to be no densensitization of the pituitary gland. My research rat has indicated that the BOOM dose still hits just as hard as the first time I gave it to him several weeks ago. GHRP-2 definitely hits harder than ipamorelin, and releases alot more hgh than both ipamorelin and GHRP-6. Hexarelin is capable of producing the greatest amount of hgh, but it definitely desensitizes the pituitary gland rather quickly. Here is an abstract from a research article stating how strong GHRP-2 is:
The Effect of GH-Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2 or KP 102) on GH Secretion from Primary Cultured Ovine Pituitary Cells Can be Abolished by a Specific GH-Releasing Factor (GRF) Receptor Antagonist

Abstract
A newly synthesised GH-releasing peptide, KP 102 (also named GHRP-2), was studied in an in vitro perifusion system of primary cultured ovine anterior pituitary cells. Application of KP 102 to the perifusion medium caused a dose-dependent increase in GH secretion. Dose-response relationships indicated that KP 102 had similar potency to GRF and was 10-fold more potent than earlier generations of GH-releasing peptide (GHRP-6 and GHRP-1) tested in same system. The response to a second application of KP 102 given within 1 h of initial application was significantly lower than the response to the first application. When KP 102 (or GRF) was applied first and then GRF (or KP 102) given 1 h later, the second response was not attenuated. When GRF and KP 102 were coadministered, an additive effect on release of GH was obtained. The effect of maximal dose of KP 102 (100nM) on GH release was totally abolished by [Ac-Tyr1, d-Arg2] GRF 1-29 (1μM) which is believed to be a specific antagonist for the GRF receptor. Blockade of Ca2+ channels by Cd2+ (2mM) diminished the basal GH secretion and abolished the increase in GH release in response to KP 102 (100nM). These data suggest that the action of KP 102 is blocked by a GRF receptor antagonist and therefore acts through a different receptor to that employed by earlier generations of GH-releasing peptides. GH release in response to KP 102 involves an increase in Ca2+ influx and there is no cross-desensitization between KP 102 and GRF responses.
