GLP-2

GLP-2 – Research Peptide

For Research Purposes Only

Description

GLP-2 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-2) is a naturally occurring peptide hormone involved in intestinal growth, repair, and nutrient absorption. In research settings, GLP-2 analogs have been studied for their potential to enhance gut integrity, promote intestinal epithelial regeneration, and improve nutrient uptake. It is commonly evaluated for its role in gastrointestinal health, mucosal repair, and metabolic regulation.

GLP-2 is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder for reconstitution and laboratory study. Each vial contains 10 mg of high-purity synthetic GLP-2, designed for controlled and consistent research outcomes.

Key Research Findings

• Intestinal Growth & Regeneration: GLP-2 has been shown in studies to stimulate mucosal growth and increase intestinal surface area through epithelial cell proliferation.

• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Research indicates improved absorption efficiency for macronutrients and micronutrients.

• Gut Barrier Function: May support reduced intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) and promote tight junction integrity in research models.

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Studies suggest GLP-2 modulates cytokine activity, reducing intestinal inflammation markers.

• Metabolic Benefits: In preclinical investigations, GLP-2 analogs have been associated with improved glucose tolerance and metabolic balance.
