Ipamorelin – 5mg
$35.00
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide classified as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), meaning it stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). It’s a pentapeptide (five amino acids) designed to mimic the action of ghrelin, a natural hormone that regulates hunger and GH release. Unlike some other GH-releasing peptides, Ipamorelin is selective, primarily targeting GH production without significantly affecting other hormones like cortisol or prolactin, which makes it popular in medical and fitness contexts.

Primary Uses of Ipamorelin
- Muscle Growth and Recovery:
- Ipamorelin increases GH levels, which boosts protein synthesis and muscle repair. It’s widely used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance lean muscle mass and speed up recovery after workouts.
- Studies in animals (e.g., rats) show it promotes muscle growth without the side effects of steroids.
- Anti-Aging:
- Elevated GH levels can improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and enhance energy, making Ipamorelin a candidate for anti-aging therapies. It mimics the natural decline in GH as we age, which drops off after puberty.
- Anecdotal reports often highlight better sleep and vitality, tied to GH’s role in cell regeneration.
- Fat Loss:
- By increasing GH, Ipamorelin enhances lipolysis (fat breakdown), helping reduce body fat, particularly visceral fat. It’s not a direct fat burner but supports a leaner physique when paired with diet and exercise.
- Bone Health:
- GH stimulates bone density and growth. Ipamorelin has been studied for treating conditions like osteoporosis or aiding recovery from fractures, with animal research showing increased bone mineral content.
- Improved Sleep:
- GH release peaks during deep sleep, and Ipamorelin users often report better sleep quality, likely due to its influence on the sleep-wake cycle.
Potential Medical Uses
- Growth Hormone Deficiency: It’s explored as a treatment for children or adults with low GH levels, offering a less invasive alternative to synthetic GH injections.
- Post-Surgery Recovery: May accelerate healing of tissues and wounds due to GH’s regenerative effects.
- Chronic Conditions: Limited studies suggest benefits in conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or short bowel syndrome, where it might improve gut motility and nutrient absorption.
How It’s Used
- Administration: Typically delivered via subcutaneous injection (under the skin), often in the abdomen. It’s not effective orally due to breakdown in the stomach.
- Dosage: Common doses range from 200–300 µg, 1-3 times daily, depending on goals (e.g., anti-aging vs. muscle gain). Cycles often last 8-12 weeks, followed by a break to avoid desensitization of GH receptors.
- Timing: Frequently taken at night to align with the body’s natural GH pulse, or pre/post-workout for fitness goals.
Availability and Status
- Not FDA-Approved: Ipamorelin isn’t approved by the FDA for any medical use in the US but is available through compounding pharmacies, research chemical suppliers, or as part of peptide therapy under medical supervision (legality varies by region).
- Research Peptide: Most human data comes from small clinical trials or anecdotal use, with more robust evidence from animal studies.
- Controlled in Sports: Banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) due to its performance-enhancing effects.
Side Effects
Ipamorelin is considered well-tolerated compared to other GH secretagogues, with fewer hormonal disruptions. Possible side effects include:
- Mild: Injection site redness, headaches, or temporary water retention.
- Rare: Nausea, dizziness, or increased hunger (ghrelin mimicry).
- Long-Term Risks: Overuse might desensitize GH receptors or, theoretically, increase cancer risk (GH can promote cell growth), though no strong evidence links Ipamorelin to this.
