Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide (5 amino acids) classified as a selective growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP). It functions as a ghrelin mimetic, binding to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a) to stimulate the release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary. In controlled laboratory settings, Ipamorelin is studied for its highly selective GH-releasing action — prompting a clean, targeted GH pulse while showing minimal impact on cortisol, prolactin, and other hormones, a profile that distinguishes it from earlier-generation secretagogues. This selectivity positions Ipamorelin as a key reference compound in growth-hormone-axis, endocrinology, and metabolic research, where it is frequently studied alongside GHRH analogs such as CJC-1295.
Important Note
Ipamorelin is not approved for human consumption, medical use, or diagnostic purposes. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research only. Handling should be performed by qualified professionals in an appropriate controlled research setting.
