Ipamorelin (10mg)

Original price was: $85.00.Current price is: $46.00.

Ipamorelin is a short peptide sequence capable of binding to the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor. It is one of the most selective growth hormone (GH) secretagogues known and has been shown in laboratory studies to have no effect on ACTH, prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, or cortisol release . Given its high level of specificity, ipamorelin has been of interest in research both as a therapeutic in and of itself as well as a model peptide for understanding how selectivity in GH receptor binding is achieved. Its presence plays a key role in the overall growth and repair of musculoskeletal tissue.

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) and ghrelin receptor agonist. It is part of the GHRP (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide) family, known for stimulating the body’s natural production of growth hormone (GH) without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels.

Ipamorelin stands out for its clean pharmacological profile, low risk of side effects, and high receptor selectivity. It mimics the ghrelin peptide by binding to GHSR-1a receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus, leading to endogenous GH release and a cascade of regenerative, anabolic, and metabolic benefits.

Ipamorelin works by binding to the ghrelin (GHSR-1a) receptor, stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary. It does not directly replace GH, but instead signals the body to enhance its natural pulsatile secretion.

Key pharmacological actions include:

  • Increased GH pulse amplitude
  • Minimal impact on ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin levels
  • Improved IGF-1 production via liver stimulation
  • Enhanced protein synthesis and fat metabolism
  • Preservation of natural GH feedback mechanisms

This makes Ipamorelin ideal for long-term use, with low risk of endocrine disruption.

Ipamorelin is generally well tolerated, especially compared to other GHRPs like GHRP-6 or GHRP-2. Side effects are rare and often dose-dependent.

Reported effects may include:

  • Mild flushing or lightheadedness
  • Temporary fatigue or drowsiness
  • Injection site irritation
  • Occasional increase in appetite (mild, ghrelin-like effect)

Unlike older GHRPs, Ipamorelin does not significantly increase cortisol or prolactin, which greatly improves tolerability.

Potential Benefits:
  • Enhanced muscle recovery and fat burning
  • Increased lean body mass over time
  • Better sleep quality and GH-related circadian rhythm support
  • Improved skin health, collagen synthesis, and joint repair
  • Cognitive and mood enhancement via IGF-1 elevation
  • No significant appetite spikes or bloating (compared to GHRP-6)
⚠️ Possible Side Effects:
  • Mild injection site redness
  • Temporary tiredness or flushing
  • Rare: dizziness, headache, or increased hunger
  • No cortisol, prolactin, or estrogen-related effects reported
  • Do not use in individuals with known peptide allergies
  • Caution in patients with active cancers or a history of tumor growth influenced by IGF-1
  • Not recommended in those with untreated pituitary or adrenal disorders
  • Avoid use in combination with high-dose GH without endocrine supervision

Ipamorelin is commonly stacked with other peptides such as:

  • CJC-1295 (with or without DAC)
  • GHRH analogs
  • BPC-157 for recovery
  • Fat-burning compounds (e.g., L-Carnitine)

No direct interactions are known with pharmaceuticals, but it may synergize with insulin-sensitizing agents and anabolic hormones in some protocols.

Due to a lack of human safety data and potential hormonal effects, Ipamorelin is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation. Animal studies have not conclusively demonstrated teratogenic effects, but use during these phases should be avoided.

Ipamorelin is not approved for pediatric use. While it may stimulate GH in GH-deficient children, it should only be used in a clinical setting under specialist care. Off-label or unsupervised pediatric use is contraindicated.

Ipamorelin is not approved by the FDA as a prescription medication. It remains a research compound and investigational peptide, though widely used in compounding and functional medicine settings for its regenerative and metabolic potential.
