Ipamorelin
Selective GHS-R1a ghrelin-receptor agonist pentapeptide with high receptor specificity.
Third-Party Tested by Verum Analytics

Albert's Verdict
Ipamorelin is the cleanest GHS-R1a agonist in the catalog — highly selective for pituitary release with minimal cortisol or prolactin signal. That selectivity is exactly what you want when isolating ghrelin-receptor mechanisms.

Product Description
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide that selectively binds the ghrelin / GHS-R1a receptor. Unlike non-selective GHS-R1a ligands, Ipamorelin shows minimal cross-activation of ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin pathways, making it a frequently chosen reference compound for receptor-selectivity research.
