Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide classified as a growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP). It belongs to the ghrelin receptor agonist family and is distinguished within its class by a highly selective binding profile that produces growth hormone (GH) secretion with minimal stimulation of cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH pathways — making it a clean research tool for studying isolated GH secretagogue effects.

Mechanism of Action

Ipamorelin activates the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) on anterior pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating GH release in a pulsatile pattern that closely mirrors endogenous GH secretion. Unlike earlier-generation GHRPs such as GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, ipamorelin demonstrates minimal affinity for cortisol and prolactin pathways, making it the preferred research tool when isolating GH-axis effects without adrenocortical confounds. This selectivity has made ipamorelin a standard reference compound in comparative GH secretagogue studies.

Research History

Ipamorelin was developed in the 1990s during intensive investigation into GH secretagogue pharmacology. Early studies confirmed its GH-releasing potency alongside unusually clean receptor selectivity. Published research established its dose-response characteristics, GH pulse amplitude and frequency effects, and downstream IGF-1 production. It has become one of the most referenced compounds in the GHRP literature.

Active Research Areas

Current research focuses on: comparative analysis against other GHS-R1a agonists in GH pulse characterization; growth plate and bone density research models; downstream IGF-1 axis effects under varying protocol frequencies; and use as a reference standard in GH secretagogue screening assays. Frequently studied in combination with GHRH analogs such as CJC-1295 to examine synergistic GH axis stimulation.

Specifications

Formulated as a 10mg lyophilized vial for enhanced laboratory stability and reconstitution accuracy. Store sealed away from light contact. Store in a controlled climate matrix at −20°C for long-term research asset protection.

Where can I read the research on ipamorelin?

We do not paraphrase research findings on this page. For a compound supplied for laboratory use, the primary sources are what matter, and they are public: the peer-reviewed record is indexed on PubMed, and registered clinical studies are listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. Both are maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and are free to search.

How much does ipamorelin cost?

Ipamorelin (10mg) is $39.95 per vial, in stock and available for immediate dispatch — that works out to $4.00 per mg, which is the figure worth comparing across suppliers, since headline vial prices are not comparable when vial sizes differ. There are no hidden surcharges, no payment-processor fees added at checkout, and no minimum order. Delivery is costed separately and transparently: same-day Bay Area courier from $19.95 depending on your city, or flat-rate FedEx 2Day nationwide. You can check the exact courier fee for your city before you order. Volume and institutional pricing is available for laboratories ordering in quantity — email support@sfbayareapeptides.com with your requirements.

How is ipamorelin tested?

Every lot is independently tested by a third-party laboratory, with identity and purity confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Testing is carried out on each lot before it is released for sale.

Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 — why they are studied together

Ipamorelin acts on the ghrelin receptor; CJC-1295 Without DAC (10mg) is a GHRH analog acting on a separate receptor. Because the two pathways converge on growth hormone release through different mechanisms, they are the most commonly co-acquired pair in our Growth Hormone & Recovery category. The without-DAC presentation is specified for pulsatile-release modelling because of its markedly shorter half-life. Laboratories working on repair models typically add BPC-157 (10mg).
