IPAMORELIN

What is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a type of lab-made compound known as a growth hormone releasing peptide. It stimulates the body to release growth hormone, which promotes the systemic growth of muscle, bone, vasculature, and other cells and body tissues.

Ipamorelin is unique among growth hormone releasing peptides in that, unlike most, it does not activate the body’s natural stress response. This gives ipamorelin an advantage over other compounds in its class.

What Does Ipamorelin Do?

Ipamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone, which encourages cell and tissue proliferation. Ipamorelin acts much like the hormone ghrelin, which also stimulates growth hormone

As a ghrelin mimetic, ipamorelin binds to ghrelin receptors in the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of an intermediary hormone, growth hormone stimulating hormone. Growth hormone stimulating hormone then signals for growth hormone to be released.

However, ipamorelin has a distinct advantage over other ghrelin mimetics. While others also activate the body’s stress response, causing a number of other physical and biochemical changes in the body, ipamorelin is extremely targeted. It does not appear to activate the stress response, making it more of a “pure” growth hormone releasing peptide

Ipamorelin Dosage Calculator

For research purposes, a typical ipamorelin dose can range from 200 mcg to 500 mcg per day. For testing on a first-time ipamorelin subject, it is important to begin with the lowest dose and titrate up as needed.

Additionally, ipamorelin is commonly injected daily in cycles of 8-12 weeks, followed by 4 weeks off. Ipamorelin is not something that should be administered indefinitely or continuously — regardless of the research application. Also, daily doses of 500mcg may be split up into 2 injections per day, A.M - upon waking or after resistance training, and P.M - before sleep.
