GHRP-2 cortisol elevation — actual data not just hearsay

The cortisol/prolactin signal for GHRP-2 is real but the magnitude is often overstated in forum discussions. Looking at the actual published clinical data, cortisol rises about 30-50% at standard doses. Not catastrophic, not negligible.

Context matters. For acute diagnostic use it's irrelevant. For chronic protocols it's a real consideration.
