A synthetic five-building-block peptide (a pentapeptide) in the growth-hormone-secretagogue class — smaller than its six-block cousins, and heavily engineered.

Verification
Every batch is identified by a lot number, and its third-party certificate is listed here by lot. Measured values are shown only when they are real and independently verifiable.
Third-party testing in progress
We are currently having this product independently tested by a third-party laboratory. Its certificate of analysis will be published here as soon as the results are available — please check back soon. For laboratory research use only.
Ipamorelin is a synthetic peptide of just five building blocks — a pentapeptide — in the growth-hormone-secretagogue class. That makes it one building block smaller than the six-block secretagogues it sits beside in the catalog.
Vestrand supplies it as a single-lot reference standard, prepared for third-party confirmation and retrievable by lot number.
What stands out on a closer look is how engineered this short chain is: three of its five building blocks are non-standard, including a capped end and a bulky ring building block. That bulky building block is also why the molecule weighs more than you might expect for such a short chain. Because so much of it is non-standard, it cannot be written in the simplest letter shorthand.

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide growth-hormone secretagogue, an agonist at the GHS-R (ghrelin receptor). It is one of the smaller secretagogues in growth-hormone-axis research.

Peptide
A short synthetic peptide corresponding to a tail-end fragment of human growth hormone, with one extra building block added at the front.
Peptide
A synthetic peptide of fifteen building blocks (a pentadecapeptide), based on a partial sequence of a protein first identified in gastric juice.
Peptide blend
A blend of two peptides — BPC-157 and TB-500 — supplied together. A mixture, not a single substance, with no identity of its own.
Peptide
A growth-hormone-releasing factor analogue of twenty-nine building blocks, also known as Modified GRF (1-29). Easily confused with the closely related sermorelin.
