What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a five-residue synthetic peptide that acts as an agonist at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor GHS-R1a — the same receptor engaged by the endogenous hormone ghrelin. It belongs to a different pharmacological class from the GHRH analogs, despite frequently being stocked alongside them.
What makes ipamorelin notable in the published literature is selectivity. Earlier secretagogues in this class showed activity across additional endocrine axes; ipamorelin was characterised as engaging GHS-R1a with comparatively little cross-activity, which is why it became a standard reference tool for isolating this receptor in experimental work.

Questions
Ipamorelin FAQ
Is Ipamorelin approved by the FDA?
No. Ipamorelin is not an FDA-approved drug and is not approved for human or veterinary use. It is supplied exclusively as a research material for laboratory use, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Does this lot come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Every lot is assayed by an independent U.S. laboratory for purity and identity, and the certificate for the lot you receive is published in our COA library — you can read it before you order.
How is purity determined?
Purity is quantified by reverse-phase HPLC against a reference standard, and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Both results appear on the lot certificate.
How should this be stored?
Lyophilized material is typically stored cold and protected from light. Handling and storage are the responsibility of the receiving laboratory; refer to the lot documentation for specifics.
How does the buy-one-get-one offer work?
Every second vial is free, sitewide and automatically. Add two vials and you pay for one; add six and you pay for three. Compounds can be mixed, there is no code, and there is no limit.
When will my order ship?
Orders are processed promptly and shipped with tracking. Free US shipping applies over $100; Priority shipping is $8.95 otherwise.
