Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) and potent growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the pituitary gland to release natural growth hormone (GH) without significantly increasing cortisol, prolactin, or appetite. It is used to boost metabolism, enhance lean muscle mass, promote fat loss, improve sleep quality, and accelerate recovery from injury or intense exercise.
- How it Works: Ipamorelin mimics the hunger hormone ghrelin, binding to receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to stimulate pulsatile GH release, unlike exogenous HGH.
Commonly used for anti-aging, increased fat metabolism (especially visceral fat), improved collagen production for skin/joints, and enhanced workout capacity.
- Common Stacks: Often paired with CJC-1295 (a GHRH analog) to “spark” (Ipamorelin) and “sustain” (CJC) growth hormone pulses.
