Ipamorelin 10 mg — concise overview: what it is, reported benefits, mechanism, typical uses, dosing/administration, safety and practical notes.
What it is
-
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide that acts as a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). A 10 mg vial is the total peptide before reconstitution; therapeutic doses are microgram‑to‑milligram scale.
Mechanism of action (summary)
-
Binds ghrelin (GHS‑R1a) receptors in the pituitary/hypothalamus to stimulate physiologic, pulsatile growth hormone (GH) release without significant increases in cortisol or prolactin (relative to some other secretagogues).
Reported/putative benefits and uses
-
Increases endogenous GH release → potential downstream benefits such as:
-
Improved body composition (reduced fat mass, preserved/increased lean mass).
-
Enhanced recovery and tissue repair (soft tissue, muscle).
-
Improved sleep quality (deeper slow‑wave sleep in some reports).
-
Increased energy, exercise recovery and stamina.
-
Potential improvements in skin quality and collagen synthesis (indirect via GH/IGF‑1).
-
-
Often used with other peptides (e.g., CJC‑1295, GHRP family) to potentiate and prolong GH pulses. Much of the human data are limited; many uses are investigational/off‑label.
Typical administration & dosing (non‑prescriptive examples)
-
Route: subcutaneous injection (most common); intramuscular occasionally.
-
Common dosing ranges used clinically/anecdotally: 100–300 mcg per injection, given 1–3 times daily. Peak GH release occurs ~30–60 minutes after injection.
-
Timing: often administered before bedtime (to augment nocturnal GH pulse) and/or post‑workout. When combined with a long‑acting GHRH analog (e.g., CJC‑1295 without DAC), smaller, spaced doses are typical.
-
A 10 mg vial reconstituted per clinician instructions yields many individual microgram doses; follow exact reconstitution and dosing guidance from a provider.
Onset and expected effects
-
GH pulses and acute effects occur within an hour of dosing; measurable body composition and recovery changes usually require weeks–months of consistent use.
