Ipamorelin Peptide

5mg · Lyophilized Powder · ≥99%

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor agonist — a pentapeptide that stimulates growth hormone release through a mechanism distinct from GHRH. Unlike older GHS compounds (GHRP-2, GHRP-6), ipamorelin does not significantly affect cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH levels at standard research doses, making it one of the most selective ghrelin mimetics studied.

Research Context

Selective GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) agonist. Stimulates GH release from anterior pituitary without significantly elevating cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH. Does not affect appetite signaling as strongly as non-selective ghrelin mimetics.

Ipamorelin Published Research

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that acts as an agonist at the ghrelin/GHS receptor. It was developed in the 1990s and is characterized by its selectivity for growth hormone release without significant effects on cortisol or prolactin in published studies.

Growth Hormone Secretagogue Research

Published research has characterized ipamorelin's selective activation of the GHS-R1a receptor. Studies in animal and in vitro models demonstrated its ability to stimulate growth hormone release with reportedly minimal effects on cortisol, ACTH, or prolactin levels — distinguishing it from other GHS compounds studied in the same research programs.

Bone Density and Musculoskeletal Research

Studies in ovariectomized rat models have investigated ipamorelin's effects on bone mineral density and bone formation markers. Published research examined its potential role in growth hormone-mediated bone anabolic pathways and compared its effects to other growth hormone secretagogues.

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) receptor agonist — a pentapeptide that stimulates growth hormone release through a mechanism distinct from GHRH. Unlike older GHS compounds (GHRP-2, GHRP-6), ipamorelin does not significantly affect cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH levels at standard research doses, making it one of the most selective ghrelin mimetics studied. It is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form for laboratory research use only.
What purity is Healthy Aminos Ipamorelin?
Our Ipamorelin is verified at ≥99% purity via HPLC analysis. Each batch includes an independent third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) with HPLC chromatogram and mass spectrometry confirmation.
How should I store Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin should be stored at -20°C, protect from light for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term use. Keep sealed, away from light and moisture. Lyophilized peptides maintain stability for 24+ months when stored properly.
Does Healthy Aminos Ipamorelin come with a COA?
Yes. Every batch of Ipamorelin ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis including HPLC purity, mass spectrometry confirmation, endotoxin testing, sterility testing, and peptide content verification.
What is the molecular weight of Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin has a molecular weight of 711.85 Da. Its molecular formula is C38H49N9O5.
Is Ipamorelin legal to purchase?
Ipamorelin is sold as a Research Use Only (RUO) chemical reference standard. It is legal to purchase in the United States for legitimate scientific research. It is not approved by the FDA for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical purpose.

Tesamorelin

10mg · Lyophilized powder

Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog consisting of the full 44-amino acid human GHRH sequence with a trans-3-hexenoic acid modification at the N-terminus. This modification protects against enzymatic degradation and extends bioactivity. It is the only GHRH analog to have received FDA approval (Egrifta) for a specific clinical indication related to lipodystrophy in HIV patients.
