Ipamorelin is a selective growth-hormone-releasing peptide used in physician-directed wellness programs. Here's what to know.
Quick answer: Ipamorelin is a selective peptide that stimulates the body's own growth-hormone release with a relatively clean profile, which is why it's popular in physician-directed programs (often with CJC-1295). It is not FDA-approved and should be used only under medical supervision.
What Ipamorelin is
Ipamorelin prompts a natural pulse of growth hormone and is considered selective, meaning it has less effect on other hormones like cortisol — one reason it's favored in wellness programs.
FDA & legal status (the honest version)
Ipamorelin is not FDA-approved and is used via compounding under physician direction. RegenTherapy MD uses it only in supervised, individualized programs.
