Ipamorelin 10MG
$93.00
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide that stimulates growth hormone release without affecting other hormones. It supports muscle growth by boosting IGF-1 production. Ipamorelin’s operational mechanics enables the peptide to stimulate the production of pituitary gland-based expression of secretions related to growth amongst animal test subjects. At the same time, the presence of the peptide has been shown to inhibit the production of a secretion known as somatostatin.

What Is Ipamorelin 10MG?
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide that acts as a selective agonist of the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and functions as a growth hormone secretagogue. It was developed as a potent stimulator of growth hormone (GH) release with high specificity and selectivity. Ipamorelin mimics the action of ghrelin, the endogenous ligand for GHS-R, leading to increased GH secretion from the pituitary gland without significantly affecting other hormones like ACTH or cortisol.
Structure

Sequence: Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2
Molecular Formula: C38H49N9O5
Molecular Weight: 711.868 g/mol
CAS Number: 170851-70-4
Research Findings
- Growth Hormone Stimulation: Ipamorelin has demonstrated potent GH-releasing effects both in vitro and in vivo. Studies in rats showed that ipamorelin stimulates GH release with potency and efficacy comparable to GHRP-6, a well-known GH secretagogue.
- Selectivity: Unlike other GH secretagogues, ipamorelin exhibits high selectivity for GH release. It does not significantly affect the release of other pituitary hormones such as ACTH, cortisol, prolactin, FSH, LH, or TSH, making it unique among GH secretagogues.
- Body Composition Effects: In animal studies, ipamorelin has been shown to increase body weight gain, particularly in the first 1-2 weeks of treatment. It also increased total body fat percentages and relative fat pad weights compared to controls.
- Gastrointestinal Motility: Ipamorelin has been investigated for its potential to improve gastric motility in the setting of postoperative ileus. While animal studies showed promising results, human clinical trials have not demonstrated significant efficacy.
- Safety Profile: Ipamorelin has shown a favorable safety profile in studies, with adverse effects being rare and similar to those reported with other GH secretagogues.
Future Research Directions
- Clinical Efficacy: Further human studies are needed to fully evaluate ipamorelin's effects on growth hormone levels, body composition, and potential therapeutic applications.
- Long-term Safety: Extended studies are required to assess the long-term safety profile of ipamorelin, particularly in diverse patient populations.
- Therapeutic Applications: Research into ipamorelin's potential benefits in conditions such as growth hormone deficiency, sarcopenia, and age-related decline in GH secretion is warranted.
- Combination Therapies: Exploring potential synergistic effects of ipamorelin with other therapeutic agents could open new avenues for treatment in various medical fields.
- Mechanism of Action: Additional studies to fully elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which ipamorelin exerts its effects across different tissue types are needed.
