Human evidence

Human source linked; classification pending

A human source exists, but its strength and applicability have not completed review.

Development status

Investigational — phase 2

Investigational development is not the same as approval or product suitability.

Identity match

Named compound linked

Sources are linked to the named compound; formulation and product quality remain separate questions.

Route relevance

Route match not verified

Catalogue route: Subcutaneous injection. A matching human study route is not confirmed.

Safety record

6 documented flags

Documented flags are visible, but absence of a listed risk would not prove safety.

What is still missing?
  • The exact studied route and protocol have not been verified in the source record.

Mechanism of Action

A highly selective pentapeptide growth hormone secretagogue that mimics GHRP-6 but with superior selectivity. Stimulates GH release via ghrelin receptor pathway without releasing ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin even at high doses.

Research areas reported in source material

These topics describe the catalogue's research index. They are not promised outcomes or personal recommendations.

  • Increased GH release (selective)
  • Improved body composition
  • Enhanced recovery
  • Better sleep quality
  • No cortisol or prolactin elevation

Safety & Risks

  • Water retention possible
  • Numbness/tingling initially
  • May increase appetite

Notable Research

Ipamorelin GH release study (1998)

Demonstrated selective GH release without affecting cortisol or prolactin
