1.What Is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a type of growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) that stimulates the secretion of growth hormones in the body. Ipamorelin is one of the latest and greatest peptides in the growth factor family. Deemed one of the safest GHRPs, Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone (GH) Secretagogue and Ghrelin receptor agonist.

Ipamorelin is popular among bodybuilders because it stimulates the production of growth hormone by mimicking the hormone ghrelin and helping produce high levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 is necessary for muscle mass growth, and it helps to improve bone and muscle strength which can support overall improvements in body composition.

2.How Does Ipamorelin Work?

Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) and a ghrelin mimetic with growth hormone (GH) releasing activity. Ipamorelin mimics ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor (or GH secretagogue receptor, GHSR) in the brain, thereby selectively stimulating the release of GH from the pituitary gland. This results in increased plasma GH levels, which would affect many biological processes. Besides its presence in the brain, GHSR can also be found in the gastrointestinal tract, heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, adipose tissue and immune cells. Unlike other GH releasing peptides, ipamorelin only stimulates GH release in a manner very similar to that of growth hormone releasing hormone.

3.What Are the Benefits of Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin helps your body burn fat and recover from workouts sooner. If you exercise, you’ll lose even more fat at a quicker rate. Ipamorelin also has anti-aging properties, helping to improve your immune system and sleep cycle, while increasing your energy, bone density, and body composition.

Decreased body fat

Increased collagen production

Increased lean muscle mass

Improved sleep

Increased cellular repair and & Regeneration

Increased IGF-1

Increases bone mineral content

Counteracts glucocorticoid catabolic effects

Less appetite stimulation than GHRP-6

Less release of cortisol, prolactin, and aldosterone

Ipamorelin has been shown to be highly potent and has also demonstrated good safety and tolerability in human clinical studies.

Research has shown that Ipamorelin is growth hormone specific, which means that the pituitary hormones (such as cortisol are unaffected).
