History and Overview of iPamorelin
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide, which is known as one of the weaker growth hormone releasing peptides because its side effects are very GHRP friendly.
By “weak” here, we don't mean “useless”.
It means that you can still get very effective results, but the effects on your body are not as strong, which is a much more favorable situation for anyone who wants to use this peptide.
This peptide was first created by a company called Novo Nordisk, and it eventually made it through two clinical trials through Hellcine Therapeutics.
It had the potential to be a very promising compound, but the project was halted when the results of the full clinical trials were not favorable.
Although it is not easily found in the medical community, it is very commonly used in many performance-based fields because it has very similar effects and functions to human growth hormone (HGH).
iPamorelin is very similar to GHRP-6 in its ability to cause the body to release more ghrelin.
Ghrelin is a hormone that is released when the body senses hunger and stimulates the body to eat more.
Ipamorelin also works by stimulating the release of growth hormone in a very precise manner.
However, Ipamorelin is different from GHRP-6 in that you don't really feel the hunger-increasing effects that are common with GHRP-6.
It's also important to note that it only affects plasma GH levels, not cortisol.
This is different from other peptides like hexarelin, and it doesn't have as strong of an effect on desensitization.
Therefore, there is no enhancement of natural growth hormone production or secretion due to the dosage.
Not only does it have a very powerful effect on the release of growth hormone in the body, but the effects are also very strong and long-lasting.
When you take Ipamorelin, your growth hormone is released steadily and continuously over a long period of time, rather than in a spike.
As such, it is more effective for fat loss over the course of a week and may not be suitable for muscle growth.
Effects of iPamorelin
The effects of ipamorelin are relatively basic.
Ipamorelin increases the natural production of growth hormone.
Increased growth hormone in the body has many positive benefits for athletes and the general population alike.
Increased growth hormone levels can improve your metabolism, allowing you to burn fat or maintain fat levels while increasing your calorie intake.
Most importantly, though, improved growth hormone levels allow you to recover much faster, which is absolutely crucial for most athletes, especially those who participate in combat sports.
Regardless of whether you're trying to lose or gain weight, it's the recovery phase that most people can benefit from.
Recovery is crucial for your body to build new muscle tissue and repair and protect the tissue that is already there.
Most users of Ipamorelin will find that they sleep much faster and better.
Most users also report anecdotally that they feel better and their emotions are stabilized.
This is likely directly related to the fact that you're getting more sleep, and like anything that can improve growth hormone levels, it can also help with anti-aging.
Growth hormone is powerful enough to improve and transform muscles, bones, nervous system, skin, and even hair.
Growth hormone is often referred to as the fountain of youth, and once you understand its effects, you'll see why.
Natural growth hormone levels tend to drop dramatically in your 30s, and they continue to decline as you age.
While we can't permanently stop aging with elevated levels, we can at least slow down its effects and make them work to our benefit.
Notes: Ipamorelin is not as effective as pure HGH, but keep in mind that real HGH is very expensive.
With Ipamorelin, you get a very potent substitute that reproduces similar effects at a much lower cost, which is highly desirable.
Side effects of iPamorelin
As with most drugs on the market, side effects are always present, but fortunately, in the case of iPamorelin, they are very limited.
When it comes to estrogenic side effects, you don't have to worry about gynecomastia or anything similar.
It doesn't affect these body parts.
There may be some water retention and swelling in the ankles and feet, but this is usually only seen at the initial dosage of this ingredient.
This drug has no androgenic effects, so it is safe for use by women and men, and you don't have to expect changes in your emotions as most androgens do.
There are no cardiovascular side effects, and in fact, some users may report improved cardiovascular markers after using this compound.
It is also not toxic to the liver, so there is no reason to worry about hepatotoxicity.
The mild side effects of this compound mostly occur in the early stages and may include mild headaches, pain at the injection site, and elevated prolactin levels.
However, elevated prolactin levels can be addressed with cabergoline.
Gynecomastia may appear indirectly in the presence of testosterone-based anabolic steroids that are aromatizers.
Administering Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is also available as a lyophilized powder, but it must be reconstituted in bacteriostatic water.
Once this is done, it should be refrigerated.
Prepare it accordingly and inject it intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
Subcu is best as it can be administered two to three times a day.
Use a small insulin syringe.
The dosing range is 200-300 mcg two to three times a day.
If desired, it can be combined with other growth hormone releasing hormones for a synergistic effect.
A course of 8 to 12 weeks is adequate and can be used indefinitely.
