How It Works
Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide that selectively mimics ghrelin and binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) in the pituitary gland. Unlike other GHRPs, it produces a very targeted GH release without significantly elevating cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin, or aldosterone, resulting in fewer side effects.
Key Research Findings
- Highly selective GH release with minimal impact on other hormones
- Shown to increase bone mineral density and lean body mass in studies
- Research suggests improved recovery and sleep quality
- Often studied in combination with CJC-1295 for synergistic GH release

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute Ipamorelin for research use:
- Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
- Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
- Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
- Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
- Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.
