Ipamorelin

GH Secretagogue

Also known as: NNC 26-0161

Overview

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone (GH) secretagogue and ghrelin mimetic. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile pattern that mimics natural GH secretion.

Mechanism of Action

Ipamorelin binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHSR) in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, triggering GH release without significantly raising cortisol or prolactin levels—a key advantage over older GHRPs.
