What It Is
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. As a pentapeptide, it's highly selective for GH secretion while producing minimal effects on other hormones.
How It Works
Ipamorelin acts on ghrelin receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering GH release in a physiological pattern that mimics natural GH pulses. It works best when stacked with a GHRH like CJC-1295, creating complementary effects that amplify GH secretion.
Key Benefits & Use Cases
- Stimulates natural growth hormone release
- Supports lean muscle development
- Enhanced recovery and regeneration
- Improved body composition
- Minimal side effects compared to other GHRPs
General Dosage Information
Research protocols typically use 100-200mcg injected 2-3 times daily, with maximum effectiveness when dosed 3-6 hours apart. Often combined with GHRH at 100-200mcg per dose for enhanced results.
