Ipamorelin
Research PeptideAlso known as: IPA
What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin.
How It Works
Ipamorelin selectively binds to ghrelin receptors in the pituitary, triggering GH release with minimal effect on other hormones.
What Research Shows
Key Findings:
- Selective GH release without cortisol increase
- May support bone density
- Potential anti-aging effects
Limited Human Research
Most research on Ipamorelin has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.
Dosing Protocol
These are general guidelines based on research literature and community protocols. Individual dosing should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider.
Safety & Risks
Reported Side Effects:
Contraindications:
- Active cancer
- Pregnancy
- Pituitary tumors

Sourcing & Quality
Quality varies significantly between peptide sources. When sourcing Ipamorelin, consider:
- Third-party testing (HPLC, Mass Spectrometry)
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) availability
- Purity levels (>98% recommended)
- Beware of LPS (endotoxin) contamination
