Ipamorelin

A selective GH secretagogue studied for its clean receptor profile in preclinical models.

Evidence grade: Emerging

What Ipamorelin is

Ipamorelin is a selective growth-hormone secretagogue noted in preclinical work for stimulating GH release with relatively little effect on cortisol or prolactin. Human data are limited.

Mechanism (preclinical)

Selectively agonizes the ghrelin/GH-secretagogue receptor to trigger GH release.

Primary research areas

GH pulse stimulationReceptor selectivityBody-composition models

Selected studies

  • Selective GH release (preclinical)

    1998

    GH increase without significant cortisol/prolactin rise.

Regulatory status

Not FDA-approved. Sold for laboratory research use only.

If you source Ipamorelin for laboratory research

Buy only from a vendor that publishes a lot-matched COA from an independent laboratory. Check the lot number on the vial against the certificate. Read the HPLC result and the mass spectrometry result. Ask for the chromatogram.
