Your protocol

How Ipamorelin is prescribed.

Who it's for
  • Adults starting their first growth-hormone peptide
  • People who sleep poorly and wake up unrecovered
  • Anyone over 35 who wants a leaner body and faster recovery without hormone replacement
  • Patients who want the gentlest of the growth-hormone peptides

Your physician decides whether Ipamorelin is appropriate for you after reviewing your intake and labs.

Directions & duration

Inject 0.25 mL (25 units) subcutaneously Monday through Friday nights at bedtime.

Cycle. One small injection at bedtime, Monday through Friday. Ongoing monthly treatment; your physician adjusts the dose as your goals evolve.

The science

How Ipamorelin works, and what the research shows.

How it works

Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide that selectively stimulates growth hormone release through the ghrelin receptor — without affecting cortisol, prolactin, or appetite.

The cleanest GH secretagogue available.

Clinical evidence
  • Ipamorelin was characterized by Raun et al. as the first ghrelin-mimetic with high selectivity for GH release without raising ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin — a profile that distinguishes it from other secretagogues like GHRP-2 and GHRP-6.

    Eur J Endocrinol 1998
  • Human studies have demonstrated dose-dependent GH elevation with minimal endocrine side effects.

  • Clinical use in adults focuses on physiological GH/IGF-1 restoration to support body composition, recovery, and sleep architecture, often stacked with the GHRH analog CJC-1295 to extend the duration of GH pulses.
