What is Ipamorelin?
What is Ipamorelin? Ipamorelin is one of several synthetic met-enkephalin analogs that include unnatural D-amino acids. They were developed for their growth hormone (GH) releasing activity, then called GH secretagogues. They lack opioid activity but are potent stimulators of GH release. These secretagogues are distinct from the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH or GHRF) in that they share no sequence relation and derive their function through action at a completely different receptor, the ghrelin receptor. Ipamorelin mainly functions in both the brain and liver, which makes it unique in the world of age prevention and youth recovery. In the brain, studies in animal subjects demonstrated that it stimulates the pituitary gland, which is a pea-shaped gland located at the bottom of the hypothalamus in the base of the brain. The primary function of the pituitary gland is to secrete specific hormones to regulate multiple endocrine system-related processes, including: • Growth and met
