About the Compound
What is ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a synthetic five-amino-acid peptide in the growth hormone–releasing peptide (GHRP) family. It acts as an agonist at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a).
Why is ipamorelin described as selective?
In preclinical characterization it stimulated growth hormone release with comparatively little effect on cortisol and prolactin, unlike some earlier GHRPs. That selectivity is the main reason it is used as a comparator compound.
How does it compare with GHRP-2 and GHRP-6?
All three act on the same receptor. GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 are hexapeptides with broader hormonal effects reported in the literature. GHRP-6 in particular is associated with appetite signaling.
Is ipamorelin a GHRH?
No. GHRH analogs such as sermorelin act on a different receptor. Combination products such as CJC/Ipamorelin pair one compound from each class.
