Mechanism of Action

Ipamorelin is a selective agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a), derived from GHRP-1. The original characterization study found it stimulates pulsatile growth hormone release at potency comparable to other GH secretagogues, but — unlike earlier-generation compounds in its class — without significantly elevating ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin above GHRH-stimulated levels, even at supra-effective doses.
