Ipamorelin is a clean, targeted GH-releasing peptide that boosts natural growth hormone without affecting hunger, cortisol, or prolactin. Ideal for anti-aging, fat loss, muscle recovery, and sleep enhancement.

Main Information

Ipamorelinis a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release via the ghrelin receptor but without the hunger or hormonal fluctuations seen in older peptides like GHRP-6 or GHRP-2. It produces a stable and clean GH pulse, making it especially popular in longevity protocols, fat-loss cycles, and post-training recovery stacks.

It is well-tolerated by women, does not cause water retention, and has no significant effec on prolactin or cortiso lwhich makes it safe for longer-term or low-dose use. It’s best paired with CJC-1295 (no DAC) to fully mimic the body’s natural GH release rhythm.



Scientific Background

Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide developed in the late 1990s as part of a new generation of growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs). It was designed to offer a cleaner, more selective effect on growth hormone release compared to older compounds like GHRP-6 or GHRP-2, which often came with unwanted side effects like increased cortisol or hunger.

What makes Ipamorelin special is its high selectivity for the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). When injected, it signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in natural pulses, much like how the body does it on its own. This pulsatile stimulation helps support muscle repair, fat metabolism, recovery, and anti-aging—without overstimulating other hormones like prolactin or ACTH (which could raise stress hormone levels).It’s widely appreciated for its mild and well-tolerated profile, making it a favorite in longevity and sports recovery protocols.

Usage Instructions

To ensure safe and effective use of Peptide Products, like Ipamorelin, it’s important to follow correct preparation, handling, and injection techniques. Below is a summary of the most essential steps. For detailed guidance, please refer to the official Product Leaflet included with your vial. You can also view the the Leaflet online at the right bottom of the product page.

  • Inspect the solution before each use by gently tipping or swirling the vial or preloaded syringe once or twice.
  • Do not use if the solution appears cloudy, discolored, or contains particles.
  • Peptide products are typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
  • Reconstitute using bacteriostatic water.
  • Inject slowly along the vial wall and swirl gently (do not shake) until fully dissolved and clear.
  • This peptide is intended for subcutaneous injection using insulin syringes (up to 16 mm needle length).
  • Always use a new, sterile syringe and needle for every injection.
  • Maintain aseptic technique and never reuse syringes.
  • Rotate the injection sites (e.g., abdomen, thighs, or upper arm) to avoid local irritation or tissue damage.
  • Before injecting, check that the syringe is correctly loaded: a small drop of solution should appear at the needle tip. If not, discard the syringe and prepare a new one.
  • Refer to sections E–G on pages 10–11 of the Product Leaflet for visual instruction, if available.
  • Store the lyophilized powder refrigerated at 2–8 °C.
  • After reconstitution, use within 7–14 days, keeping the solution refrigerated.
  • Do not freeze. Protect from light.
