01The basics
What Ipamorelin 5mg is
Ipamorelin is a small peptide (five amino acids) that triggers growth hormone release by mimicking ghrelin. Each vial contains 5 mg of freeze-dried powder for mixing with bacteriostatic water.
It’s known as the most selective of the GHRPs (growth hormone releasing peptides): in early research it raised growth hormone without the big jumps in hunger, cortisol and prolactin seen with older peptides such as GHRP-6. It reached human trials for a gut condition after surgery but wasn’t approved. Here’s what’s known.

03How it works
How it works
- Ghrelin receptor agonist: it activates the growth hormone secretagogue receptor in the pituitary and hypothalamus.
- Selective: in animal and early human studies, it released growth hormone with little effect on cortisol, prolactin or appetite.
- Short-acting: a half-life of about 2 hours, producing a pulse of growth hormone after each injection.
04Half-life
Half-life, in plain numbers
A half-life of about 2 hours means half of what is in the body is gone after that time, then half of the rest, and so on. For an injected peptide it reflects how quickly the body breaks the chain down and clears it.
- One half-life
- 2 h
- About 97% gone
- 10 h
- Levels level out with regular use after
- 8 h–10 h
A textbook model built from the half-life alone. Real numbers vary from person to person.
05Clinical reference
Dosing information
Clinical reference. Ipamorelin has no approved dose. Its human trials used an intravenous form after bowel surgery, which doesn’t translate to injections under the skin.
Talk to a doctor before use.
Mixing math. Adding 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to the 5 mg vial gives 2.5 mg (2,500 mcg) per ml. On a U-100 insulin syringe:
- 100 mcg = 0.04 ml = 4 units
- 200 mcg = 0.08 ml = 8 units
- 300 mcg = 0.12 ml = 12 units
For easier measuring of small doses, some people add more water, such as 5 ml for 1,000 mcg per ml.
06Mixing
Mixing and storage
- Bacteriostatic water and syringes are sold separately; see Pairs well with below.
- Add the water slowly and swirl gently until clear.
- Refrigerate (2–8 °C) after mixing and keep away from light.
- Many people inject before bed or after training, on an empty stomach, since food blunts growth hormone release.

08Injection sites
Where it is injected
Ipamorelin 5mg arrives as a freeze-dried powder. After it is mixed with bacteriostatic water it is normally injected under the skin, into the fat layer, with a short insulin needle.
1Belly (abdomen)Fat under the skin of the bellySubQ
- Pick a spot at least 5 cm (two finger-widths) from the belly button.
- Avoid scars, stretch marks, bruises and the waistband.
- Pinch up a fold of skin and inject into the fold.
Why it is used. The most fat to work with, easy to see, and the steadiest absorption. Weekly pen medicines list it first.
Careful. Move each injection at least 2–3 cm from the last to avoid firm fatty lumps (lipohypertrophy).

2Front of thighFat under the skin of the thighSubQ
- Sit and look down at the front of your thigh.
- Use the middle band: a hand-width below the hip crease and a hand-width above the knee.
- Pinch the skin and inject into the fold.
Why it is used. Easy to reach while seated, and a handy second area to rotate with the belly.
Careful. It can absorb a little more slowly than the belly; hard leg training straight afterwards can speed it up.

3Back of upper armFat over the tricepsSubQ
- Find the soft, fleshy area at the back of the upper arm.
- Stay halfway between the shoulder and the elbow.
- Pinch the skin and inject into the fold.
Why it is used. A third area to rotate through, so every spot gets a longer rest.
Careful. Hard to pinch and reach with one hand; most people need a helper.

Route for Ipamorelin 5mgUnder the skin (subQ)
- Start with the bellyIt has the most fat and the steadiest absorption, and you can see what you are doing. The thigh and arm are there to rotate into.
- Short needle, small volumeAround 1 ml or less per spot. A 4–13 mm insulin needle reaches the fat without touching muscle; pinch up the skin if you are lean.
- New spot every timeShift 2–3 cm from the last injection. Reusing one spot causes firm lumps that absorb unevenly.
- Wash your hands
- Alcohol on the stopper and skin, let it dry
- New sterile needle and syringe every time
- Never share any of it
- Sharps into a puncture-proof container

Water retention
Some swelling or tingling in the hands with higher growth hormone.
Blood sugar
Raised growth hormone can nudge blood sugar up.
Injection site
Redness or itching; rotate sites and use sterile technique.
Unknown long-term effects

Don’t use it if you
Have active cancer, diabetes, are pregnant or breastfeeding, are under 18, or compete in tested sport.
10Interactions
Interactions
Medicines and substances that change how this product behaves, or that it changes. Show this list to your pharmacist along with everything else you take.
- CautionInsulin and diabetes medicines
Releasing more growth hormone raises blood sugar, so glucose control can change.
- CautionCorticosteroids
Prednisone and similar drugs reduce the growth-hormone response.
- CautionHGH or MK-677 at the same time
Adds water retention, tingling hands, joint aches and higher blood sugar.

14Questions
Common questions
Ipamorelin or GHRP-6?
Both release growth hormone through the ghrelin receptor. GHRP-6 causes strong hunger and can raise cortisol and prolactin; ipamorelin was designed to avoid those effects.
Why combine it with CJC-1295?
A GHRH analogue and a GHRP act on different receptors; together they produce a bigger growth hormone pulse than either alone.
Does ipamorelin increase hunger?
Much less than GHRP-6, according to the research, though some users still notice it.
How fast is shipping in Canada?
Orders ship by Canada Post Xpresspost, with tracking within 72 hours of payment, with tracking.
Is ipamorelin legal in Canada?
Ipamorelin isn’t approved by Health Canada and isn’t a controlled substance. It’s banned in tested sport.
How is my order packaged?
In a plain, unbranded box with no product names on the outside.
