Ipamorelin
moderateA selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates natural GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin.
Overview
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide that acts as a growth hormone secretagogue by mimicking ghrelin and binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in the pituitary gland. What makes it unique among GH-releasing peptides is its selectivity — it stimulates GH release without significantly increasing cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH levels.
This selectivity makes it one of the safest GH-releasing peptides available. It is commonly stacked with CJC-1295 (with or without DAC) for enhanced and sustained GH release. Popular among anti-aging, bodybuilding, and recovery communities.
