Ipamorelin
Well Researched
Ipamorelin is a selective peptide that tells your pituitary gland to release more growth hormone. It has a clean side-effect profile with minimal impact on cortisol and prolactin levels, making it well suited for body composition, recovery, and anti-aging applications.
How it works
Ipamorelin injection provides direct systemic delivery for consistent growth hormone pulses. It works by binding to ghrelin receptors in the pituitary gland, triggering natural growth hormone release without raising cortisol, prolactin, or causing significant hunger.
