What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a lab-made peptide (five amino acids) designed to prompt the release of growth hormone. Its defining feature in research is selectivity: older compounds like GHRP-6 and GHRP-2 also nudge up other hormones such as cortisol and prolactin, which muddies the results of experiments. Ipamorelin does far less of this.
That cleanliness makes it a useful reference tool when researchers want to study growth-hormone signalling on its own, without the wider stress-hormone response getting in the way.
