In the evolving landscape of peptide research and regenerative science, the targeted stimulation of the body's endogenous systems represents a paradigm of sophisticated biohacking. Genlabs Pharma stands at the forefront of this field with its high-purity, laboratory-grade IPAMORELIN – 5MG VIAL. This product, offered complete with a vital solvent (Bacteriostatic Water), provides researchers with a reliable and potent tool to investigate the effects of Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHSs). This comprehensive description delves into the science of Ipamorelin, its distinctive profile, the unparalleled quality standards of Genlabs, and essential protocols for handling and reconstitution.
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide (five-amino-acid chain) belonging to the growth hormone secretagogue family. It functions as a potent and highly selective agonist of the ghrelin/growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Unlike older, first-generation GHSs, Ipamorelin’s elegance lies in its specificity. It mimics the action of natural ghrelin (the "hunger hormone") in stimulating the pituitary gland to pulsate and release Growth Hormone (GH), but with a refined action profile.
Its key differentiator is its minimal effect on cortisol, prolactin, and ACTH secretion. This selectivity is a significant point of research interest, as it suggests the potential for a cleaner, more targeted stimulation of the GH/IGF-1 axis without triggering undesirable hormonal cascades associated with other secretagogues. This makes Ipamorelin a subject of intense study for its focused anabolic and regenerative properties.
The endogenous release of Growth Hormone is inherently pulsatile, a rhythm crucial for its efficacy and the maintenance of receptor sensitivity. Ipamorelin expertly capitalizes on this natural physiology:
Receptor Binding: Ipamorelin binds to GHSR in the pituitary and hypothalamus.
Stimulated Release: This binding triggers a signaling cascade, primarily through the cAMP pathway, leading to the synthesis and release of stored Growth Hormone into the bloodstream.
Natural Pulsatility: Crucially, Ipamorelin induces a transient, pulse-like release of GH that closely mirrors the body's natural secretion pattern. This is believed to help prevent the downregulation or desensitization of GH receptors, a concern with continuous, non-pulsatile stimulation.
Negative Feedback Respect: Ipamorelin appears to respect the body's intrinsic negative feedback loops involving Somatostatin, allowing for a more physiological and controlled response.
The selective action of Ipamorelin directs research toward specific physiological pathways:
Muscle Tissue Metabolism & Protein Synthesis: GH stimulation promotes nitrogen retention and stimulates the production of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a primary mediator of anabolic growth and repair in skeletal muscle.
Lipid Metabolism & Body Composition: GH enhances lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and promotes the utilization of free fatty acids for energy, potentially influencing body composition metrics.
Connective Tissue, Tendon, & Bone Repair: The GH/IGF-1 axis is critical for collagen synthesis and the regeneration of connective tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It also supports bone mineral density.
Sleep Quality & Cellular Regeneration: As GH secretion is naturally highest during deep sleep, research investigates Ipamorelin's role in supporting sleep architecture and subsequent overnight cellular repair and recovery.
Gut Motility: Notably, Ipamorelin has been studied for its prokinetic effects (stimulating gut movement), acting on GHS receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, which broadens its potential research applications beyond the endocrine system.
Genlabs Pharma is committed to supplying the research community with uncompromised quality, ensuring that experimental variables are minimized and results are reliable.
Exceptional Purity & Verification: Our Ipamorelin is synthesized to >99% purity, as verified by independent High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis. Each batch is free from impurities, microbial contaminants, and endotoxins.
Precise Dosage & Integrity: The lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide is provided in a sterile, sealed 5mg vial. The vacuum-sealed closure ensures stability and confirms product integrity upon receipt.
Complete Research Package: We include a sterile, multi-dose vial of Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol). This solvent is essential for proper reconstitution, preserving sterility of the solution for multi-dose use over the research period. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth.
Rigorous Manufacturing Standards: Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility under strict cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines, ensuring consistency, potency, and safety for laboratory use.
Clarity & Documentation: Each product is accompanied by clear labeling and accessible batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA), providing researchers with full transparency.
Important Notice: This information is for research and laboratory use only in controlled in vitro settings. It is not for human or veterinary use.
Reconstitution Procedure:
Aseptic Technique: Perform all steps in a clean, laminar flow hood using sterile gloves, syringes, and needles.
Withdraw Bacteriostatic Water: Draw 1-2ml of the provided Bacteriostatic Water into a sterile syringe.
Reconstitute: Gently inject the water down the side of the Ipamorelin vial. Avoid directing the stream forcefully onto the lyophilized powder. Swirl the vial gently until the peptide is fully dissolved into a clear solution. Do not shake vigorously.
Storage: Once reconstituted, the solution must be refrigerated at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and used within a defined research period (typically within 7-14 days due to the lack of preservatives in the peptide itself, though the bacteriostatic water extends stability).
Research Dosage Considerations:
In vitro studies utilize a wide range of concentrations based on cell lines and experimental design. Common research doses referenced in literature often range from 100mcg to 300mcg per kg of subject body weight in animal models, administered in a pulsatile manner (e.g., once daily) to mimic natural secretion.
Researchers must determine the optimal concentration and frequency for their specific experimental model through careful literature review and pilot studies.
Q: What is the shelf life of the un-reconstituted vial?
A: When stored in a cool, dry place away from light, the lyophilized peptide is stable for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date. Always refer to the batch-specific CoA.
Q: Can I use sterile saline instead of Bacteriostatic Water?
A: Bacteriostatic Water is strongly recommended. Sterile saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride) lacks a preservative. Using saline necessitates that the reconstituted solution be treated as a single-use aliquot and discarded promptly, as it will not resist bacterial contamination.
Q: How does Ipamorelin compare to other peptides like GHRP-2, GHRP-6, or Tesamorelin?
A: Ipamorelin is noted for its superior selectivity. GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 are potent but can stimulate cortisol and prolactin release. Tesamorelin is a modified GRF (1-29) analog with a longer half-life but works via a slightly different mechanism (GH-Releasing Hormone receptor). Ipamorelin offers a middle ground of good potency with a notably clean side-effect profile in research models.
Q: Is this product for human consumption?
A: No. Genlabs Pharma products, including this IPAMORELIN – 5MG VIAL, are sold exclusively as research chemicals for laboratory analysis. They are not pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, or intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human use.
