Ipamorelin Peptide Therapy

Ipamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) known for its highly selective ability to stimulate the release of growth hormone (GH). By naturally encouraging the body to produce more GH — without significantly affecting other hormones like cortisol or ACTH — Ipamorelin has become one of the most researched and well-tolerated peptides in its class. At The Catalyst Clinic, we provide expert consultations and personalised treatment plans that may include Ipamorelin peptide therapy.

What is Ipamorelin?

  • A synthetic peptide designed to mimic the action of ghrelin, the “hunger hormone” that also triggers GH release.

  • Belongs to a family of compounds called growth hormone secretagogues (GHS).

  • Unique for its selectivity — it boosts GH without overstimulating other hormones.

In plain terms: Ipamorelin is one of the cleanest, most precise ways to encourage your body’s own natural growth hormone production.

Benefits of Ipamorelin

Research and clinical use suggest Ipamorelin may support:

  • • Increased muscle mass and strength – GH promotes protein synthesis and muscle recovery
  • • Reduced body fat – via fat metabolism and lipolysis
  • • Improved bone density – GH stimulates bone formation and mineralisation
  • • Better sleep quality – GH plays a role in restorative deep sleep cycles
  • • Anti-ageing support – improved skin elasticity, collagen production, and vitality
  • • Enhanced wound healing – GH accelerates tissue repair and recovery
  • • Cognitive function – GH is linked to memory and learning improvements

How Ipamorelin Works

Ipamorelin binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) in the pituitary gland. This binding triggers a cascade of signals that result in GH release.

Unlike some other peptides, Ipamorelin:

  • • Does not significantly affect cortisol or ACTH (stress hormones)
  • • Is considered gentler and more selective, with fewer unwanted hormonal side effects

Potential Therapeutic Applications

Although still under research, Ipamorelin shows promise in:

  • • Muscle wasting conditions – such as cachexia related to cancer or chronic illness
  • • Age-related decline – combating natural GH reduction over time
  • • Osteoporosis support – increasing bone density and reducing fracture risk
  • • General recovery – from surgery, injury, or illness

Safety and Side Effects

Ipamorelin is generally considered safe and well tolerated. Possible side effects may include:

  • • Mild water retention
  • • Temporary tingling or numbness in hands or feet
  • • Increased appetite
  • • Occasional joint pain

These effects are usually mild and short-lived. At The Catalyst Clinic, peptide therapy is carefully monitored to minimise risks.

 FAQs

  • It is mainly researched for muscle growth, fat loss, bone density improvement, recovery, and anti-ageing support.

  • Yes, it is one of the most selective and well-tolerated growth hormone secretagogues, though long-term data is still being studied.

  • Ipamorelin is more selective than many GHRPs, meaning fewer side effects and more targeted growth hormone release.

  • Yes. The Catalyst Clinic offers consultations and supervised peptide therapy including Ipamorelin at our London clinic.
