Evidence / context
Evidence: Limited. GH pulse support with a comparatively focused secretagogue profile.
Available vial formats
Ipamorelin
- Conservative 100 mcg once daily, morning fasted (3 units per injection)
- Standard 200 mcg once or twice daily (6 units per injection)
- Aggressive 300 mcg twice daily, short block only if clearly tolerated (9 units per injection)
- Cycle length 8-12 weeks

- Cycle length 8-12 weeks
- Best timing Morning fasted first; pre-bed fasted remains an option.
Reconstitution
- Swab vial tops with alcohol
- Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water
- Inject slowly down vial wall (don't blast powder)
- Gently swirl - do not shake
- Rest 5-10 min to dissolve

Timing: Avoid dosing close to food, especially carbs, when aiming for a GH pulse.
Support / expected effects
- GH release with fewer prolactin/cortisol effects vs GHRP-2.
- Often improves sleep depth in responders.
- Recovery and lean-mass support.
Side effects / tolerability
- Flushing.
- Headache (uncommon).
- Transient hunger.
Practical tips
- Why fasted: insulin/glucose blunt GH pulse; 2-3h after meals.
- Start nightly before adding doses.
- Common stack: CJC NO-DAC + Ipamorelin.
Storage
Refrigerated: ~45-60 days.
