Ipamorelin 10mg

Ipamorelin 10mg is a 10mg vial of Ipamorelin, a growth hormone secretagogue, supplied as freeze-dried powder. It’s intended for lab research only.

Ipamorelin at a glance

Ipamorelin is a five-amino-acid growth hormone secretagogue, Aib-His-D-2Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2, developed at Novo Nordisk in the 1990s. It acts on the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) on pituitary cells.

It was the first compound in its class shown to release GH selectively, without the rise in cortisol and prolactin that earlier GHRPs caused.

How Ipamorelin works

Ipamorelin mimics ghrelin at the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a) in the pituitary and hypothalamus. Activating that receptor triggers a GH pulse.

Older secretagogues like GHRP-6 also raised cortisol, prolactin and appetite. Ipamorelin is much more selective, which is why it’s the usual choice when GH release is the only thing being studied.

Ipamorelin research

Raun and colleagues described it in the European Journal of Endocrinology in 1998, reporting that even at doses far above those needed for GH release, it didn’t raise ACTH or cortisol in pigs.

It later went into human trials for post-surgical ileus, a stalled gut after abdominal surgery, but didn’t progress to approval.

How Ipamorelin compares

Ipamorelin 10mg is easier to place once you see it next to the compounds it’s usually compared with. Ipamorelin is the most selective ghrelin-receptor peptide, with little effect on cortisol or prolactin. The others:

• CJC-1295 No DAC is a stabilized GHRH(1-29) with a half-life of about 30 minutes, giving short, natural-looking pulses
• CJC-1295 DAC binds albumin and lasts about a week, giving a raised GH baseline instead of short pulses
• Sermorelin is the unmodified first 29 amino acids of GHRH, broken down within minutes
• Tesamorelin is full-length GHRH with a fatty acid cap, the only GHRH analog currently approved as a drug in the US
• GHRP-6 releases GH and strongly raises appetite, the classic tool for feeding research

The GHRH analogs (CJC-1295, sermorelin, tesamorelin) all act on the same receptor, and the real difference is how long each one lasts. Ipamorelin, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 work on the ghrelin receptor instead, which is why labs so often pair one from each side. See them all on our growth hormone peptides page.

Checking your Ipamorelin 10mg

The vial label shows the compound and the amount. For anything your lab needs on file beyond that, email Peptira support with the product name before you place the order.

Many labs run their own identity check when a new batch arrives. For peptides, purity is usually measured by HPLC, which separates a sample into its parts and reports the main compound as a share of the total. Mass spectrometry is often run alongside it to confirm the molecular weight.

Keep a record of which vial went into which experiment. Matching results to material is the simplest way to rule it out when an experiment doesn’t behave.

Reconstituting Ipamorelin 10mg

The amount of liquid you add sets the concentration. For a vial holding 10mg:

• 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
• 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
• 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/mL

Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.

Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water. We stock bacteriostatic water in 3mL, 10mL and 30mL sizes. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature, add the water slowly along the glass wall and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake it.

Ipamorelin 10mg storage and shelf life

Store sealed vials of Ipamorelin 10mg in the freezer at -20°C, out of direct light. Mixed solution goes in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and should be used within about 28 days.

Running several vials at once? Our 10 vial kit case holds up to ten vials upright in separate wells under a clear lid, which keeps a fridge shelf tidy and the labels easy to read.
