Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that belongs to the class of growth hormone secretagogues (GHS). It is composed of five amino acids and is known for its ability to stimulate the release of growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. Ipamorelin is typically available in a lyophilized powder form, which requires reconstitution with an appropriate solvent prior to use, usually included in the packaging. Its mechanism of action involves selectively binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R), leading to increased endogenous growth hormone secretion without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels.
Medical use
Ipamorelin is primarily used for its potential benefits in promoting growth hormone release, which can have various therapeutic applications. Ipamorelin is often explored for its potential anti-aging effects, as increased growth hormone levels can contribute to improved muscle mass, reduced body fat, and enhanced recovery from injuries. This peptide is utilized in clinical settings to support muscle growth and recovery, particularly in individuals with muscle-wasting conditions or those undergoing rehabilitation after injuries.
pamorelin may help enhance sleep quality, which is crucial for overall health and recovery, as growth hormone is primarily released during deep sleep. Ipamorelin may aid in improving metabolic function, including fat metabolism and glucose regulation.
