Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide that mimics ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates the release of growth hormone (GH). It is known for its ability to promote natural growth hormone secretion without significantly affecting other hormones such as cortisol or prolactin. Ipamorelin is studied for its potential to support muscle growth, fat loss, and overall recovery, making it valuable in research related to aging, metabolic function, and athletic performance.
