About the compound
What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide classified as a selective growth-hormone secretagogue that acts as an agonist at the ghrelin receptor, also called the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). It carries CAS number 170851-70-4 and a molecular weight of 711.86. In research it is noted for its selectivity, with studies reporting minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin relative to some other secretagogues examined in the same models.
Mechanistically, ipamorelin binds the GHS-R and, in experimental models, is reported to stimulate growth-hormone release from pituitary cells in a manner described as pulsatile and selective. Studies emphasise that this receptor targeting appears not to meaningfully raise cortisol, prolactin or other pituitary hormones in the systems examined, which is why ipamorelin is often characterised as a comparatively clean secretagogue throughout the research literature.
Within growth-hormone and endocrine research, ipamorelin is studied for its receptor selectivity and its reported effect on growth-hormone secretion profiles in laboratory and animal models. It is frequently investigated alongside CJC-1295 No-DAC, a GHRH analogue, in studies examining complementary secretagogue mechanisms. Laboratories sourcing Ipamorelin UK stock commonly reference this literature when designing controlled endocrine experiments and characterising secretagogue behaviour under defined conditions.
Sova Peptides supplies ipamorelin as a lyophilised research material for in-vitro and laboratory study by qualified researchers. Each batch is characterised by reverse-phase HPLC and ESI mass spectrometry, with a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis available to confirm identity and molecular weight. Standard lyophilised-peptide storage and handling apply throughout. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only and is not for human or veterinary use.

FAQ
Ipamorelin, answered.
What is Ipamorelin?
+
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide and selective growth-hormone secretagogue that acts as an agonist at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R). It has CAS number 170851-70-4 and a molecular weight of 711.86, and is used in laboratory research as a selective secretagogue reference compound.
Is Ipamorelin legal to buy in the UK?
+
Ipamorelin is not a licensed medicine in the UK and is offered strictly as a research chemical for laboratory use only. Supply and purchase for that purpose are permitted when it is not marketed for human consumption, with compliant handling resting on the purchasing researcher or institution.
What is Ipamorelin studied for?
+
Ipamorelin is investigated in the research literature for its selectivity at the ghrelin receptor and its reported influence on growth-hormone release profiles in cell and animal models. This work is exploratory, conducted in laboratory settings, and does not demonstrate any effect in humans.
How is Sova's Ipamorelin verified?
+
Each batch of Sova's ipamorelin is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC for identity and by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm its molecular weight against the expected 711.86. A batch-linked Certificate of Analysis accompanies every lot, letting researchers verify the specific material supplied.
How should Ipamorelin be stored?
+
Lyophilised ipamorelin is typically kept cold and away from light, refrigerated for short periods and frozen for longer-term storage. Once reconstituted for research, solutions are generally refrigerated and used within a limited window, with containers sealed to limit moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Why is Ipamorelin studied with CJC-1295 No-DAC?
+
Ipamorelin is frequently studied with CJC-1295 No-DAC because the two act through distinct pathways, ipamorelin at the ghrelin receptor and CJC-1295 as a GHRH analogue. Researchers often examine these complementary secretagogue mechanisms in parallel, though each remains a separate compound.
