Ipamorelin 5mg

£14.99

Ipamorelin 5mg research peptide is a GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) agonist pentapeptide, described in the original research as a selective GH secretagogue that did not raise ACTH or cortisol in rat and swine studies (Raun et al., 1998). Molecular formula C38H49N9O5. Same working-day UK dispatch on in-stock orders before 3pm (Mon–Fri). Research use only.

Product Details

Ipamorelin 5mg Research Peptide UK

Ipamorelin 5mg is a synthetic pentapeptide with the sequence Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2, molecular formula C38H49N9O5, and a molecular weight of 711.85 g/mol. It is classified as a Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP) and acts as an agonist at GHS-R1a, the ghrelin receptor, on anterior pituitary somatotroph cells.

Full Research Information

The defining research characteristic of ipamorelin is the selectivity of its GH-releasing action. In the original rat and swine studies it released GH with potency similar to GHRP-6, but did not raise ACTH or cortisol beyond the levels seen with GHRH, unlike GHRP-6 and GHRP-2 (Raun et al., 1998). This selectivity refers to GH release relative to other pituitary hormones, not to exclusive receptor binding.

The GHS-R1a activation mechanism follows the pathway: GHS-R1a binding leads to Gq protein stimulation, which activates phospholipase C (PLC), generating IP3 and DAG, which elevates intracellular calcium, ultimately triggering pulsatile GH secretion from somatotroph cells. This ghrelin receptor pathway is distinct from the GHRH receptor pathway targeted by CJC-1295 Without DAC 10mg.

Evidence status: besides the original animal studies, ipamorelin has been tested in humans. In a randomised, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial in 114 patients after bowel resection, intravenous ipamorelin was well tolerated, but the difference in time to tolerating solid food was not statistically significant (Beck et al., Int J Colorectal Dis, 2014). It has not been approved as a medicine. These data do not describe or verify the research material supplied here. No certificate is published yet for the 5mg format; the Ipamorelin 10mg report does not cover 5mg vials.

The 5mg format of ipamorelin is appropriate for pilot studies, method validation, and first-time GHRP research. For established programmes requiring full dose-response gradients, multi-arm designs, and extended single-batch longitudinal studies, Ipamorelin 10mg provides the advanced format. For downstream growth factor research alongside ipamorelin protocols, IGF-1 LR3 1mg targets the IGF-1 receptor axis, providing a mechanistically distinct complement.
