Growth hormone secretagogue

Ipamorelin

A selective ghrelin-receptor agonist studied as a growth hormone secretagogue, with limited modern human clinical evidence. This record separates established identity and source-linked research context from protocol or commercial fields that are not yet supportable.

How this works

Ipamorelin activates the ghrelin/growth-hormone secretagogue receptor and can stimulate GH release. Preclinical selectivity findings do not establish a body-composition protocol.
