Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin in the T&T Supplies peptide lexicon: research reference with mechanism, reported effects, limitations and literature data. Evidence grade C+.
Mechanism
Selective GHRH receptor agonist. GHSR-1a (ghrelin receptor) agonist → pulsatile GH release from pituitary. Highly selective. No ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin stimulation at standard doses. Cleanest GHRP.
Reported effects
Clean GH stimulation. Improved deep sleep. Recovery enhancement. Lean mass support. Better tolerated than GHRP-2/6.
Limitations
Endogenous GH is already high in young adults, so the added effect may be marginal. Potential GH receptor downregulation. Water retention possible. Not FDA approved.
Literature data
- Dosage (literature)
- 100-300mcg per injection. 1-3×/day. Most useful pre-bed
- Timing
- Pre-bed (maximize natural GH pulse). Can stack with CJC-1295 no-DAC
- Cycling
- 12-week cycles, 4-6 weeks off
