Ipamorelin

5 mg

Selective ghrelin receptor agonist studied for GH release.

Overview

Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide ghrelin/GHS-R1a agonist that selectively stimulates growth hormone secretion without significant effects on cortisol or prolactin.

Mechanism of Action

Binds GHS-R1a on pituitary somatotrophs, activating PLC/IP3 signaling and triggering GH release. Lack of cross-reactivity with cortisol-related receptors distinguishes its profile.
