About Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that binds the ghrelin receptor to trigger GH release. Unlike other GHS peptides, it does not significantly elevate cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH, making it one of the cleanest GH-stimulating peptides available. It is frequently paired with CJC-1295 for synergistic GH output.
Key Benefits
- Clean GH release without cortisol spike
- Supports muscle recovery and repair
- Improves sleep quality
- Synergistic when paired with CJC-1295
