Selective ghrelin-receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist pentapeptide

Ipamorelin is a five-amino-acid growth-hormone secretagogue that activates the ghrelin receptor. Among the GHRP class it is notable for selectivity: in the original characterisation it released growth hormone without the cortisol, prolactin or ACTH release seen with GHRP-6 and GHRP-2.

How it works

Binding at GHS-R1a on pituitary somatotrophs triggers a growth-hormone pulse, and the same receptor in the hypothalamus reinforces GHRH release. Because the action is pulsatile and feedback-sensitive, ipamorelin is usually studied alongside a GHRH analogue such as CJC-1295 (no DAC) to see the two inputs combined.

What the research reports

Raun et al. (Eur J Endocrinol 1998) described the selectivity profile in rats and pigs. A Phase 2 trial of ipamorelin for post-operative ileus was completed but not pursued. Preclinical work examines bone density and gastric motility.

Key research areas

  • GH pulsatility — Selective secretagogue action without cortisol release
  • Bone research — Bone mineral density in rodent models
  • Gastric motility — Post-operative ileus studies
  • Combination designs — Paired with GHRH analogues

Frequently asked questions

What is Ipamorelin?

Selective ghrelin-receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist pentapeptide. Ipamorelin is a five-amino-acid growth-hormone secretagogue that activates the ghrelin receptor. Among the GHRP class it is notable for selectivity: in the original characterisation it released growth hormone without the cortisol, prolactin or ACTH release seen with GHRP-6 and GHRP-2.

What is Ipamorelin studied for?

GH pulsatility: selective secretagogue action without cortisol release. Bone research: bone mineral density in rodent models. Gastric motility: post-operative ileus studies. Combination designs: paired with GHRH analogues. Raun et al. (Eur J Endocrinol 1998) described the selectivity profile in rats and pigs. A Phase 2 trial of ipamorelin for post-operative ileus was completed but not pursued. Preclinical work examines bone density and gastric motility.

Ipamorelin before and after: what do the studies show?

Pharmacology studies reported a selective GH pulse without cortisol or prolactin release; rodent studies reported increased bone mineral density and gastric motility. No human body-composition trial has reported.

What side effects has Ipamorelin research reported?

Reported events in the pharmacology and ileus studies were mild, including headache and flushing after dosing. Long-term data in humans are absent.

What is the Ipamorelin dosage?

Published Ipamorelin studies specify their own amounts and routes, and those vary by model and endpoint. Peptide Aus products are supplied for in-vitro laboratory research, so we do not provide dosing, cycle or usage guidance for people. For laboratory preparation, the reconstitution calculator converts vial size and water volume into concentration and syringe units.

Ipamorelin vs CJC-1295: what is the difference?

They act on different receptors (ghrelin versus GHRH) and are paired because the combined GH pulse exceeds either alone.

Ipamorelin vs sermorelin: what is the difference?

Sermorelin is a GHRH analogue; ipamorelin is a ghrelin-receptor agonist. Sermorelin has a clinical record, ipamorelin greater receptor selectivity.

Ipamorelin vs tesamorelin: what is the difference?

Tesamorelin is a GHRH analogue with visceral-fat trial data; ipamorelin has no equivalent outcome trial.

Why pair ipamorelin with CJC-1295?

They act on different receptors, the ghrelin receptor and the GHRH receptor, and in pharmacology studies the combined pulse exceeds either alone. We stock both a separate CJC-1295 (no DAC) vial and a pre-blended 10mg vial.

How do you reconstitute Ipamorelin (10mg)?

Add about 2 mL of bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside of the vial and swirl gently; do not shake. 10mg in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C after reconstitution and use within 8–12 weeks. The calculator has this vial preset.

How should Ipamorelin be stored?

Lyophilised: −20 °C, sealed, away from light and moisture. Reconstituted: 2–8 °C, used within 8–12 weeks, never frozen.

Is Ipamorelin legal in Australia?

Ipamorelin is not registered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as a medicine in Australia and is not approved for human or veterinary use. Peptide Aus supplies it as a research reagent for in-vitro laboratory work only. Supply of any substance for human use in Australia is governed by the Poisons Standard and the Therapeutic Goods Act, and the buyer is responsible for using the material lawfully. If you are looking for a treatment, speak to a doctor.

Where can I buy Ipamorelin in Australia, and what does it cost?

Directly from Peptide Aus, from Australian stock: Ipamorelin (10mg) is $89.99 AUD including GST. Paid orders before 2pm AEST/AEDT dispatch the same business day, tracked.
