Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin Peptide | High-Purity Selective Growth Hormone Secretagogue

What is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin (CAS: 170851-70-4) is an advanced synthetic pentapeptide (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) renowned in the scientific community as a potent and highly selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It functions as a ghrelin mimetic, meaning it binds to and activates the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in the pituitary gland. This precise mechanism selectively stimulates the body’s natural release of growth hormone (GH).

Supplied as a high-purity, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, our Ipamorelin is batched-tested via HPLC to ensure a minimum purity of 99% for consistent and reliable results in your laboratory research.

The Ipamorelin Difference: Unmatched Selectivity

Ipamorelin’s primary value in a research setting is its exceptional specificity. Unlike other growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) such as GHRP-6 or GHRP-2, Ipamorelin demonstrates a unique ability to stimulate a strong, pulsatile release of growth hormone with little to no significant effect on other hormones.

Studies have shown that Ipamorelin does not substantially elevate plasma levels of:

• Cortisol (the body’s primary stress hormone)
• Prolactin
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

This highly selective action makes Ipamorelin a superior compound for researchers seeking to investigate the effects of GH elevation in isolation, without the confounding variables of increased cortisol or prolactin.

Primary Areas of Research

Ipamorelin is a popular subject of study across various fields, from endocrinology to metabolism. Its targeted mechanism has made it a focal point for investigating the potential effects of increased growth hormone levels.

Key research interests include:

• Body Composition: Investigating its potential role in promoting lean body mass and supporting lipolysis (fat breakdown).
• Bone Health: Animal models (specifically in rats) have studied Ipamorelin for its effects on longitudinal bone growth and bone mineral density.
• Recovery & Repair: Research into the effects of elevated GH on cellular regeneration, collagen synthesis, and tissue repair.
• Anti-Aging: Exploring the “anti-aging” hypothesis by studying GH’s influence on skin elasticity, vitality, and improved sleep quality.
• Gastric Motility: Ipamorelin was initially investigated in clinical trials for its potential to stimulate gastric emptying, particularly in postoperative settings.

Product Specifications

• Molecular Formula: $C_{38}H_{49}N_{9}O_{5}$
• Molecular Mass: 711.86 g/mol
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute with sterile bacteriostatic water.
• Stability: Lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for short-term shipping but should be stored desiccated at -20°C for long-term preservation. Reconstituted solutions should be stored at 4°C and used within 7 days. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
