Research Profile

  • Synthetic pentapeptide
  • Selective GH-secretagogue receptor agonist
  • Characterised selectivity profile
  • Third-party purity tested
  • Research use only

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide characterised in the literature as a selective agonist at the ghrelin / growth-hormone-secretagogue receptor. Supplied as lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.

The above describes how this compound is characterised in the published peer-reviewed literature. It is not a claim about effects in humans.

Laboratory Handling

Ipamorelin is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed glass vial. For laboratory reconstitution, add the desired volume of diluent (typically bacteriostatic water) slowly down the side wall of the vial. Swirl gently until fully dissolved - do not vortex or shake. Store reconstituted solutions at 2–8 °C and use within 4–6 weeks.

Use our Reconstitution Volume Calculator to compute the resulting mg/ml concentration.
