Ipamorelin is one of the latest and greatest peptides in the growth factor family. Deemed one of the safest GHRPs, Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone (GH) Secretagogue and Ghrelin receptor agonist.
This peptide generates similar increases in growth hormone secretion, but without appetite stimulation and an increase in cortisol, acetylcholine, prolactin, and aldosterone seen with other peptides in its class.
Gland Stimulated: Pituitary Gland
BENEFITS OF IPAMORELIN
Decreased body fat
Increased collagen production
Increased lean muscle mass
Improved sleep
Increased cellular repair and & Regeneration
Increased IGF-1
Increases bone mineral content
Counteracts glucocorticoid catabolic effects
Less appetite stimulation than GHRP-6
Less release of cortisol, prolactin, and aldosterone
Ipamorelin has been shown to be highly potent and has also demonstrated good safety and tolerability in human clinical studies.
Research has shown that Ipamorelin is growth hormone specific, which means that the pituitary hormones (such as cortisol are unaffected).
Ipamorelin may be one of the best alternatives available to HGH therapy.
As an added perk, it does not promote increased production of the enzyme ghrelin, which stimulates hunger. This means that it will not make you hungry, due to Ipamorelin's ability to control points of gastric, appetite, and growth motility.
Another significant positive difference is that Ipamorelin does not display a capacity to significantly boost cortisol levels, which can affect the body in unwanted ways. Patients on other types of secretagogue therapies have reported jitters, cold sweats, or nervousness because of therapy’s overall impact on cortisol levels.
