Ipamorelin, GH, & You
What is GH?
Ipamorelin is a selective Growth Hormone (GH) secretagogue that acts on the pituitary gland to help boost production of GH. So, what the hell does that have to do with you? GH is a vital hormone that helps regulate and maintain tissues and organs, body composition, body fluids, muscle and bone growth, and sugar and fat metabolism. Here is the kicker: production of GH is reported to decline by 14% every 10 years and may decline by up to 50% every 7 years in adult men. Sometimes we already have adequate GH levels, but the GH isn’t being stimulated.
What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin gives the pituitary gland a natural, little boost needed to increase GH secretion and stimulation. Ipamorelin is a favorite amongst the other GH secretagogues because it is very tolerable and doesn’t stimulate the appetite or increase cortisol levels (the stress hormone). Benefits of this peptide include:
Decreased body fat
Increased collagen production
Increased lean muscle mass
Improved sleep
Increased cellular repair & regeneration (faster recoveries)
Increased IGF-1 production (hormone that teams up with GH to promote normal bone & tissue growth & development)
Increased bone mineral content
