Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue studied for its ability to stimulate the body’s natural growth hormone release through ghrelin receptor signaling. Rather than replacing hormones, it encourages physiologic GH pulses similar to natural endocrine rhythms. It is not FDA-approved for therapeutic use but remains an area of ongoing research interest.
Reconstitution:
Add 5 mL bacteriostatic water → 2 mg/mL concentration
Daily dose range: 100–300 mcg once daily (research reference range)
Easy math: At 2 mg/mL, 1 unit = 20 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe
Storage:
Lyophilized = freeze at −20 °C
Reconstituted = refrigerate at 2–8 °C
Do not freeze–thaw repeatedly (peptides hate that)
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Your week-by-week dosing cheat sheet.
Daily Dosing Schedule
Weeks | Daily Dose | Syringe Units | Volume |
1–2 | 100 mcg | 5 units | 0.05 mL |
3–4 | 200 mcg | 10 units | 0.10 mL |
5+ (Maintenance) | 300 mcg | 15 units | 0.15 mL |
Frequency: Once daily, subcutaneous.
Reason for escalation: gradual titration may support tolerability and aligns with commonly cited GH-secretagogue research approaches.
Daily doses may be divided into multiple administrations (e.g., AM/PM pulses) to support tolerability or administration preferences.
Tip: Maintain consistent timing each day to support stable GH pulse observation.
How to Reconstitute
Nice and easy:
Draw 5 mL bacteriostatic water.
Inject gently down the vial wall — no foaming, no shaking.
Swirl or roll until fully clear.
Label it, refrigerate (2–8 °C), and protect from light.

Protocol Summary
Goal: Support growth hormone pulse signaling (based on early human research)
Schedule: 1 or 2 injection daily for 8–12 weeks (16 if continuing)
Dose Range:
Start 100 mcg → increase to 200–300 mcg
Reconstitution:
5 mL per vial (standardized dosing system)
Storage:
Freeze when dry; refrigerate when mixed
Daily Dosing Titration
Start: 100 mcg daily (5 units)
Increase: +100 mcg every 2 weeks
Goal: 200–300 mcg by Weeks 5+
Timing: Any consistent time daily
Tip: Maintain consistent timing to support stable GH pulse observation.
Storage Tips
Lyophilized: Freeze at −20 °C, dark + dry
Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C
Avoid freeze–thaw cycles
Let vial warm slightly before opening to avoid condensation
Important Notes
Always use a new sterile syringe
Rotate injection sites (abdomen/thighs/arms)
Inject slowly
Log daily dose and injection site
Human research remains limited; consult a medical professional
How It Works
Ipamorelin activates the ghrelin (GHS-R1a) receptor in the pituitary gland, signaling natural growth hormone release without directly supplying hormone externally.
Research observations suggest:
Pulsatile GH release
Minimal cortisol or prolactin stimulation compared to earlier secretagogues
Short signaling window that mimics physiologic hormone rhythms
Human evidence remains early and investigational.
