Ipamorelin

Early human dataNot approved for human use
What it is

A selective ghrelin-receptor agonist and GH secretagogue — the same peptide in the CJC-1295 blend, but also used alone. Raises GH without meaningfully raising cortisol or prolactin.

What people use it for

Similar profile to the CJC-1295 combo but simpler dosing and a smaller reconstitution volume: better sleep, workout recovery, gradual lean-mass and fat-composition change.

What the evidence actually shows
Evidence, plainly

Human pharmacokinetic trials were run in healthy volunteers using weight-based IV infusions, and showed it raises growth hormone without meaningfully raising cortisol or prolactin. For post-operative ileus it went further: a 114-patient phase 2 randomised trial exists (Beck 2014), and it missed its primary endpoint. The development programme ended before approval, and the flat microgram figure people inject is convention.

Reported figures

No reference figure is given here. There is no personal reference on file for this compound, and we would rather leave it blank than fill it with a guess. The Ipamorelin calculator will do the arithmetic for any amount you enter.

Concentration = vial contents ÷ water added. It is the same compound at every volume — more water only means a weaker solution, larger syringe marks that are easier to read, and a larger injection volume. On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, one unit is 0.01 mL at any barrel size.

Where to go next

Education only. This page is educational. Most compounds referenced are not approved for human use, and a "research use only" label carries no legal status of its own.

Reported, not established. Any figure shown is a reported personal reference at the reconstitution stated — not a community average, not a clinical dose, and not necessarily right for anyone else's body, goals, or product.

Blank is deliberate. Where no figure appears, there is no personal reference to give. We would rather say nothing than imply confidence that isn't there.

Not medical advice. Nothing here constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Several of these are prescription medicines in Canada and the US, and several are approved nowhere at all. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any protocol.
