GLP-2 — Vendor Pricing & Purity Guide
Research Overview
GLP-2 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-2) is a 33-amino-acid peptide produced by intestinal L-cells. While its cousin GLP-1 is famous for appetite suppression and blood sugar control, GLP-2 specifically promotes intestinal growth, repair, and nutrient absorption. A synthetic analog, teduglutide (Gattex), is FDA-approved for Short Bowel Syndrome.
GLP-2 stimulates crypt cell proliferation, inhibits intestinal apoptosis, increases mesenteric blood flow, and enhances the absorption capacity of the remaining intestine. These properties make it the primary trophic factor for the gut epithelium.
Key Research Findings
- •Synthetic analog (teduglutide/Gattex) is FDA-approved for Short Bowel Syndrome
- •Stimulates intestinal crypt cell proliferation and villus height growth
- •Inhibits intestinal epithelial apoptosis, promoting gut barrier integrity
- •Increased nutrient and fluid absorption in patients with short bowel syndrome
- •Reduced parenteral nutrition requirements by 20-100% in clinical trials
Research Dosage Protocols
Native GLP-2 has a half-life of ~7 minutes (rapidly degraded by DPP-IV). The approved analog teduglutide has a half-life of ~2 hours, dosed at 0.05 mg/kg subcutaneously once daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GLP-2?
GLP-2 is a gut-specific growth factor that promotes intestinal repair and nutrient absorption. Its synthetic analog teduglutide (Gattex) is FDA-approved for Short Bowel Syndrome.
How is GLP-2 different from GLP-1?
GLP-1 regulates blood sugar and appetite (Ozempic/Wegovy). GLP-2 specifically promotes intestinal growth and repair. They are co-secreted by the same intestinal cells but have different target organs.
