Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that functions as a growth hormone secretagogue, specifically a selective agonist for the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). It is designed to stimulate the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone into the bloodstream, promoting muscle growth, fat reduction, and improved recovery and repair processes. Ipamorelin is noted for its selectivity and efficiency, causing minimal activity outside of its intended effects, which reduces the likelihood of side effects. It's often explored for its potential in anti-aging and performance enhancement contexts.
