Ipamorelin

What is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide studied as a growth hormone secretagogue, meaning it is investigated for its interaction with the ghrelin receptor and growth-hormone release. It is not growth hormone itself. Published experimental findings do not establish that ipamorelin produces lean-muscle gain, fat loss, deeper sleep, or improved recovery in people.

Ipamorelin 2 mg product information

This page does not provide dosage, administration, diagnosis, or treatment advice.

What does the current research show?

A 1998 PubMed-indexed study described ipamorelin as a selective growth hormone secretagogue based on experimental pharmacology. That paper should not be described as a controlled human trial and does not prove bodybuilding, weight-loss, sleep, or recovery benefits. Evidence about a biological mechanism is different from evidence of a safe and effective treatment.

Regulatory context in Canada

Health Canada identifies ipamorelin among unauthorized injectable peptide drugs and warns that a “For Research Use Only” label does not remove regulatory requirements. Health Canada advises consumers to use authorized prescription drugs under the care of a licensed health professional and to look for an eight-digit Drug Identification Number (DIN).

Information for tested athletes

Ipamorelin is named on the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List as a growth hormone secretagogue. Athletes subject to anti-doping rules should verify the current list and consult their sport organization or a qualified professional.

Research context matters: evidence level, regulatory status, product identity, and independent documentation should be evaluated separately. No therapeutic benefit is claimed on this page.

The cited early study examined pharmacological responses under controlled conditions. It does not prove muscle gain, fat loss, sleep improvement or recovery for this commercial vial.

Is Ipamorelin permitted in tested sport?

WADA identifies Ipamorelin as a prohibited growth-hormone secretagogue. Athletes should consult the current Prohibited List and their sport organization.
