General
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the release of endogenous growth hormone (GH) by binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) in the pituitary gland. It mimics the action of ghrelin, promoting GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels, making it a targeted approach for muscle growth, fat loss, and recovery. Due to its specificity and minimal side effects, Ipamorelin is often used in clinical research for conditions related to aging, growth hormone deficiency, and muscle wasting.
