Description
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone (GH) secretagogue, meaning it stimulates the pituitary gland to release GH. It is a pentapeptide that mimics the action of ghrelin, the natural hormone that stimulates GH release. Unlike other GH secretagogues, Ipamorelin is highly selective and does not significantly increase levels of cortisol or prolactin, making it a safer option for research. It is known for its ability to promote muscle growth, enhance recovery, and improve body composition.
Benefits:
- Increased Growth Hormone Release: Ipamorelin effectively stimulates the release of GH from the pituitary gland, leading to increased levels of IGF-1. Raun et al. (1998) identified Ipamorelin as the first selective growth hormone secretagogue with minimal side effects.
- Muscle Growth and Fat Loss: By increasing GH levels, Ipamorelin can promote lean muscle mass and reduce body fat.
- Improved Recovery: Enhanced GH levels can lead to faster recovery from exercise and injuries.
- Anti-Aging Effects: Increased GH can have anti-aging effects, such as improved skin elasticity and bone density.
Recommended Dosage: A typical research dosage is 200-300 mcg, administered 2-3 times per day. A 10mg vial provides approximately 30-50 doses.
Recommended Stacks:
- Performance & Body Composition Stack: Ipamorelin is often stacked with MOTS-C and Tesofensine for a combined effect on muscle growth, metabolism, and fat loss.
