Ipamorelin – Research Peptide
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective ghrelin mimetic (growth hormone secretagogue) that stimulates growth hormone release by activating the GHSR-1a (ghrelin receptor) on anterior pituitary somatotrophs. It is noted for its high selectivity — unlike earlier GH secretagogues, Ipamorelin does not significantly stimulate cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH release at research-relevant doses.
Research Context
Ipamorelin has been studied for its clean GH-stimulating profile, downstream IGF-1 elevation, effects on bone mineral density in animal models, and potential post-surgical GI motility modulation. It is frequently combined with CJC-1295 for synergistic pulsatile GH secretion research.
