What Is Ipamorelin? Health Benefits and Risks


Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Unlike direct growth hormone injections, Ipamorelin works by mimicking ghrelin, a natural hormone that signals the body to produce more growth hormone. Because it targets the same receptor pathway as ghrelin but with greater specificity, Ipamorelin offers many of the benefits associated with increased growth hormone levels while minimizing some of the side effects seen with other treatments.




What is Ipamorelin?


Ipamorelin (also known by its chemical designation P5) is a 5-amino-acid peptide. It was developed to act as a selective growth hormone secretagogue, meaning it encourages the body’s own production of growth hormone rather than providing the hormone directly. Its short half-life and high potency make it effective at low doses.




Ipamorelin Therapy


Therapy typically involves subcutaneous injections administered once or twice daily, often in the morning and evening. The dosage can vary from 100 to 300 micrograms per injection, depending on individual goals and medical guidance.
