Ipamorelin
-
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH) without significantly increasing other hormones such as cortisol or prolactin. It acts by binding to the ghrelin receptor (GHSR) on somatotrophs in the anterior pituitary, promoting the secretion of endogenous GH. Ipamorelin's selective action makes it a favorable choice for promoting muscle growth, fat loss, and tissue repair, while minimizing the side effects associated with other growth hormone secretagogues.
