Batch-specific documentation may include HPLC purity, identity confirmation and lot information. Refer to the supplied COA or the COA policy for current documentation scope.

Reconstitution and handling

Allow lyophilised material to equilibrate before opening to reduce condensation risk. Add validated solvent slowly down the vial wall, avoid vigorous shaking, and record the final concentration in the laboratory notebook or LIMS.

Use aseptic technique, calibrated pipettes or syringes, and validated diluent choices for the assay system. Reconstituted materials should be aliquoted where appropriate to reduce repeated freeze-thaw exposure.

Storage

Store unopened material according to the stated condition: -20°C recommended (research-only). Keep vials sealed, dry and protected from light. Reconstituted solutions should be stored under validated laboratory conditions and discarded according to internal SOPs and applicable research-waste rules.

Research-use statement

Ipamorelin 5 mg is sold by Peptide Shop for research use only. It is not a medicine, food, cosmetic, supplement or diagnostic product. Buyers are responsible for ensuring lawful purchase, storage, handling and disposal under their institutional and local requirements.

FAQs

What is Ipamorelin used for in research?

Ipamorelin is used to study growth hormone secretion, ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) activation, and somatotrope cell function. It's valued for its selectivity, causing minimal effects on cortisol and prolactin compared to other GHRPs.

How is Ipamorelin different from other GHRPs?

Ipamorelin is highly selective for GH release with minimal effects on cortisol, prolactin, and appetite. This makes it valuable for studying isolated GH secretion mechanisms without confounding hormonal effects.

What is the mechanism of action?

Ipamorelin acts as a ghrelin mimetic, binding to growth hormone secretagogue receptors (GHS-R) in the pituitary to stimulate GH release. It works synergistically with GHRH in research models.

How should Ipamorelin be stored?

Store lyophilised Ipamorelin at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, keep at 2-8°C and use within 4 weeks. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

What purity is your Ipamorelin?

Our Ipamorelin is ≥99% pure as verified by HPLC. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis with purity data and mass spectrometry identity confirmation.

Can Ipamorelin be studied with CJC-1295?

Yes, researchers often study ipamorelin combined with CJC-1295 to investigate GHRP-GHRH synergy. Both peptides are available from Peptide Shop.

How do I reconstitute Ipamorelin?

Reconstitute in sterile bacteriostatic water. Add solvent slowly along the vial wall and gently swirl to dissolve. Ipamorelin dissolves readily in water.

What sizes are available?

Ipamorelin is available in 2mg and 5mg vials for various research scales.

What class of peptide is ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide and selective growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR-1a) agonist. Unlike GHRP-2 and GHRP-6, it does not significantly stimulate cortisol or prolactin release in preclinical models. CAS number 170851-70-4.

How does ipamorelin compare to GHRP-2 and GHRP-6?

Ipamorelin is the most selective GHSR agonist of the three, with minimal effect on cortisol/prolactin. GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 produce stronger GH pulses but also stimulate secondary hormonal release. Researchers select based on whether selective or broad GH axis stimulation is required.

What is the CAS number for ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin CAS number: 170851-70-4. Molecular weight: 711.87 g/mol. Molecular formula: C38H49N9O5.

Can ipamorelin be combined with CJC-1295 No DAC in research?

Yes. Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 No DAC are frequently used together in GH secretagogue research, targeting complementary pathways — GHSR-1a and GHRH receptor respectively.
