Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that acts as a ghrelin receptor agonist. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on growth hormone release, muscle recovery, and anti-aging.
Studies have shown that Ipamorelin stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland by binding to the GHSR-1a receptor, while exhibiting minimal effects on cortisol, prolactin, or appetite. It promotes protein synthesis, fat metabolism, and tissue repair. It may also play a role in muscle wasting prevention, bone density improvement, sleep quality enhancement, and recovery from injury.
