Ipamorelin

Also known as NNC 26-0161

Selective ghrelin receptor agonist and GH secretagogue.

Medical status: Not approved as a medicine.

Also commonly used for (off-label)

Sleep quality and recovery
Lean-mass support and fat loss
Gentle growth-hormone support without hunger spikes
Commonly stacked with CJC-1295 (no DAC)

Off-label and research uses are what people report, not approved indications. Talk to a clinician before using any of them.

How it's taken (route)

Subcutaneous injection
a small shot into the fat just under the skin (belly, thigh, or love handle)

Documented dose: 100–300 mcg
Typical frequency: 1–3 times daily, 5 days on / 2 days off
Cycle: 12 weeks on, 4 off
Half-life: ~2 hours
Common vial sizes: 2 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg
Regulatory status: Not approved for human use.

Dose on a U-100 syringe (100–300 mcg)

Vial	BAC water	Draw
2 mg	2.5 mL	13–38 units
2 mg	3 mL	15–45 units
5 mg	2.5 mL	5.0–15 units
5 mg	3 mL	6.0–18 units
10 mg	2.5 mL	2.5–7.5 units
10 mg	3 mL	3.0–9.0 units

On a U-100 syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, and the syringe holds 100 units total. Most people keep a single subcutaneous injection under about 50 units — bigger volumes are usually mixed stronger (less water) or split into two shots. Only mixes that fit in one syringe are shown. Always double-check with the reconstitution calculator.

What it does

A gentle ghrelin mimic that tells the pituitary to release a clean pulse of growth hormone. It is popular because it does this without meaningfully raising cortisol (stress hormone), prolactin or hunger. What people look into it for: • Deeper sleep and better overnight recovery • Gradual lean-muscle gain and fat loss • Joint, tendon and skin repair • A milder side-effect profile than older GH secretagogues It is often stacked with CJC-1295 (no DAC) because the two work through different doorways and produce a bigger pulse together.

Mechanism

Selective GHS-R1a agonist triggering pituitary GH release.

Storage — lyophilisedwhat's this?

Refrigerate 2-8C, protect from light.

Storage — reconstitutedwhat's this?

Refrigerate 2-8C, use within ~28 days.

Reconstitution noteswhat's this?

Common mix: 10 mg vial + 2.5 ml bacteriostatic water = 40 mcg per unit (100 mcg ≈ 3 units, 300 mcg ≈ 8 units). Start at 100 mcg until well tolerated.

Stacks well with

Popular combinations reported in the community and research literature — not a recommendation. Adding peptides multiplies side-effect risk; check with a clinician.

Commonly reported side effects

Hunger
Head rush
Water retention
Drowsiness

Contraindications noted

Active malignancy
Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Research notes

Commonly dosed before bed to align with natural GH pulse.
