Growth Hormone Secretagogues

Ipamorelin

Also known as: IPA

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) originally developed by Novo Nordisk and later advanced by Helsinn/Nycomed. It is a selective ghrelin receptor agonist / growth hormone secretagogue (GHRP). Its defining feature versus older GHRPs (GHRP-2, GHRP-6, hexarelin) is that in preclinical and early clinical studies it raised GH without meaningfully increasing ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin. It is not FDA-approved for any indication; a Phase 2 trial for postoperative ileus failed to meet its primary endpoint and clinical development was discontinued. In the wellness/grey market it is sold as a research chemical and used off-label for anti-aging and body-composition goals despite no clinically validated human dose for those uses.
