Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates pulsatile GH release without raising cortisol or prolactin; the strongest community interest is in muscle growth, fat loss, sleep, and recovery, with only scattered reports on injury repair. Clinician protocols converge on 200–300 mcg subcutaneous at bedtime as entry-level dosing, with some scaling to 1 mg daily for a stronger IGF-1 response; cycles run 8–12 weeks, though continuous use is also described. The off-label evidence base is thinner than the discourse suggests, and most exploratory indications lack posted results.

Research Evidence
Evidence shape
Ipamorelin sits in the low-evidence tier: the strongest human data reach Phase 2 and are limited to a pair of single trials in gastrointestinal dysmotility and postoperative ileus. Only one publication is linked to the two registered trials, and the remainder of the mapped research is animal-only or long-tail single-trial work without posted replication. The absence of larger studies, posted replication, or further follow-up is the signal; what exists has not moved past exploratory status.

Dosing & Protocol
How Ipamorelin is dosed across research, clinician, and community sources — each evidence tier kept separate so the dose range, frequency, timing, and cycling stay visible without flattening different levels of evidence.
Across 7 completed trials, registry dosing was 25 µg–1 mg daily IV.
Clinician protocols dose 200 µg–1 mg BID subQ (4 sources).
Reported doses span 150 µg, most commonly 150 µg; most posters do not state a schedule.
