Ipamorelin

IPA

Also: NNC 26-0161

human trialanimal study

A selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol, prolactin, or other hormones. Considered the 'cleanest' GHRP due to its selectivity. Frequently combined with CJC-1295 for enhanced GH pulsatility.

Selectively binds to ghrelin/GHS receptors (GHSR) on the pituitary gland, triggering growth hormone release in a pulsatile pattern that mimics natural GH secretion. Unique among GHRPs for minimal effect on appetite (ghrelin), cortisol, and prolactin.
