Educational summary. See Sources & research below for the underlying studies.
What it is
›
Ipamorelin is the cleanest, gentlest growth-hormone secretagogue (it nudges your body to release its own growth hormone), with few side effects.
• Best for: sleep and recovery without much hunger or bloat
• Edge: minimal effect on cortisol, prolactin, or appetite
• Often paired with a GHRH like CJC-1295
How it works
›
It triggers a clean, selective pulse of growth hormone.
• Activates the ghrelin receptor very selectively
• Releases GH without much hunger or cortisol
• Gentle enough for beginners
Dosing and mixing
›
Reference tiers only. Track the dose you are already taking.
Low
100 mcg, nightly
FOR Gentle start or beginners
BENEFIT Often picked as the lower-exposure GH-pulse tier
Standard

FOR Sleep and recovery for most
BENEFIT The saturation range most often cited in user discussions
High
300 mcg, 2 to 3x daily
FOR Stronger goals, experienced users
BENEFIT People pick this higher-frequency tier despite the larger time commitment
Schedule: Before bed on an empty stomach. Often paired with CJC-1295.
Beginner ramp: 300 mcg per shot is the ceiling, add pulses to go higher.
Mixing (reconstitution)
BAC water is bacteriostatic water, the sterile water you mix in.
A 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water is a common starting point.
