Sermorelin / Ipamorelin
Two peptides studied for stimulating the body's growth hormone release through different signaling pathways. Research on the ingredients does not establish benefits for the combination.
What to expect
Sermorelin is based on the active portion of growth hormone releasing hormone. Ipamorelin acts through a different growth hormone release pathway. Their effects on hormone signaling are a reason for research, not proof of improved sleep, muscle growth, fat loss, or slower aging.
- Sermorelin signals the pituitary through the growth hormone releasing hormone pathway
- Ipamorelin has been studied for growth hormone release in human volunteers
- A measured hormone response does not by itself show a meaningful improvement in health
- Persistent fatigue, sleep changes, or body composition concerns should be evaluated for their cause before choosing treatment
Provider note: FDA has identified potential immune reactions and insufficient safety information for certain uses of compounded ipamorelin.
Monthly treatment pricing is in addition to the visit fee. Office and telehealth visits are $100.
Two ingredients, different signals
Both ingredients relate to growth hormone release, but a combination is not the same as a proven treatment for a hormone deficiency.
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sermorelin | Based on the first 29 amino acids of growth hormone releasing hormone, studied for stimulating growth hormone secretion. |
| Ipamorelin | Stimulates a separate receptor pathway involved in growth hormone release. |
| The combination | Studies of individual ingredients do not establish the effectiveness or long-term safety of using them together. |
What we go over together
- What symptoms or goals brought you in, and whether they need further evaluation
- Your medication list, prior hormone treatment, diabetes, cancer history, and pituitary conditions
- Whether lab testing or hormone monitoring is appropriate for your situation
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding, the uncertainties of the combination, and established alternatives
What a listing means
This information is educational and does not establish that a medication treats, cures, or prevents a disease. Availability depends on clinical appropriateness and provider judgment, and a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.
Before treatment
Your provider and pharmacist must confirm whether the proposed formulation is appropriate and can be dispensed under applicable requirements. The route, instructions, quantity, monitoring, and delivery arrangements are specific to the prescription and are not established by this listing.
Questions, answered
How much does Sermorelin / Ipamorelin cost?
$161.73 per month plus the visit fee. Office and telehealth visits are $100. Your provider confirms the formulation, quantity, and any additional costs.
Is this the same as taking growth hormone?
No. These peptides are studied for signaling the body to release growth hormone. That is different from administering growth hormone itself, and it does not mean the combination is appropriate for a diagnosed deficiency.
Will it improve sleep, muscle growth, or aging?
Those results are not established for this combination. Short studies measuring hormone release do not prove improvements in those outcomes.
How is the treatment plan decided?
Your clinician evaluates your symptoms, medical history, medications, and relevant tests. If a formulation is appropriate and available, the prescriber and pharmacist confirm its route and instructions. There is no universal dose or schedule on this page.
