Ipamorelin

What is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It was designed to stimulate natural growth hormone (GH) release by binding to ghrelin receptors in the pituitary gland. Unlike older GHS compounds such as GHRP-6, Ipamorelin is known for its specificity, reduced side effects, and clean profile in research applications.

How Does Ipamorelin Work?

Ipamorelin binds to ghrelin receptors, stimulating the release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary. This increase in GH supports protein synthesis, recovery, and cellular repair without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels. Its selectivity makes it a preferred compound in research compared to less targeted peptides.

Chemical Properties

Potential Benefits of Ipamorelin

• Growth Hormone Release: Stimulates GH secretion in a controlled, selective way.
• Recovery & Repair: May enhance tissue repair and post-exercise recovery.
• Anti-Aging Support: Studied for its role in maintaining lean body mass and vitality.
• Low Side Effect Profile: Minimal impact on cortisol and prolactin levels compared to older GHS peptides.

Clinical Research & Findings

Ipamorelin has been extensively studied for its ability to selectively increase growth hormone without significant off-target hormonal effects. Research indicates benefits in recovery, bone density, fat metabolism, and anti-aging applications. Unlike GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, Ipamorelin does not cause sharp spikes in appetite or elevated cortisol.

Dosage & Research Protocols

• Research Dose: 200–300 mcg subcutaneously
• Frequency: 1–3 times per day, often morning or pre-bed
• Cycle Length: 8–12 weeks

Protocols vary based on study design. Some studies combine Ipamorelin with other peptides such as CJC-1295 for synergistic effects on growth hormone release.

FAQs

Is Ipamorelin legal in Canada?

Yes. Ipamorelin is legal for research use in Canada but is not approved for human consumption.

How does Ipamorelin compare to GHRP-6?

Ipamorelin is more selective, avoiding side effects like appetite spikes and elevated cortisol seen with GHRP-6.

What are the main research applications of Ipamorelin?

Research focuses on growth hormone release, recovery, fat metabolism, and anti-aging studies.

What form does Ipamorelin come in?

It is supplied in lyophilized powder form with ≥98% purity for laboratory research use.
