Ipamorelin Protocol

Updated 1w ago 4 min read 465+ helpful Calculator

Overview

Ipamorelin is a selective ghrelin-mimetic that pulses growth hormone without the appetite spike or prolactin/cortisol bumps of the older GHRPs. It’s the gentlest of the GH secretagogues and a favorite daily driver.

Preparation

Reconstitute a 5 mg vial with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water (BAC) for a ~1.67 mg/mL concentration. Refrigerate after mixing — good for about 4 weeks.
