About this material

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide supplied as a lyophilised powder in a crimp-sealed glass vial at 5 mg per vial.

Supplied as a lyophilised powder in a crimp-sealed glass vial. Store lyophilised at −20 °C, protected from light. Dispatched tracked from UK stock on working days, with UK delivery included in the price.

What Ipamorelin is

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide — five residues, ending in a C-terminal amide rather than a free carboxylic acid. Its established sequence is Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. Three of the five residues are non-proteinogenic — α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), D-2-naphthylalanine and D-phenylalanine — so the molecule is a designed synthetic peptide rather than a fragment of any native protein. Ipamorelin is the accepted non-proprietary name; the development code NNC 26-0161 appears as a synonym in the older literature.

The identifiers on the specification table are CAS number 170851-70-4, molecular formula C38H49N9O5 and a molar mass of approximately 711.9 g/mol. Those figures describe the free peptide.

The 5 mg on the label is the fill weight per vial — the mass of lyophilised powder dispensed into it — and not a statement of net peptide content. The two figures are distinct and routinely conflated; the difference is set out in our guide to peptide purity vs net peptide content. For the Ipamorelin it holds in UK stock, NorthScientific states name, format and fill weight, and does not publish independent third-party analysis.

Ordering Ipamorelin in the UK

The £24.99 shown for this 5 mg vial (SKU NS-IPA-5) is the total payable, with UK delivery included, paid through Stripe. This is the single-peptide listing; the same peptide is also supplied co-lyophilised with CJC-1295 No DAC, as a separate blend listing at £44.99. An order placed before 14:00 on a working day is dispatched from UK stock the same day where stock allows, by Royal Mail Tracked 24 in unbranded packaging, within the United Kingdom only, Northern Ireland included. Dispatch terms are in our terms of supply; the 14-day consumer cancellation right, which lapses for a vial once unsealed, is under your right to cancel. We supply laboratories, research organisations and individuals buying for legitimate research.

Format, handling and storage

Ipamorelin is supplied as 5 mg of lyophilised powder in a crimp-sealed glass vial, for storage at −20 °C protected from light. Its sequence contains no methionine, cysteine or tryptophan — the readily oxidised residues — and no asparagine or glutamine, so deamidation is not a route open to it. Light still matters: histidine is among the residues susceptible to photo-oxidation, and the naphthyl side chain of D-2-Nal absorbs in the ultraviolet. Cold slows the main degradation routes; the chemistry is in lyophilised peptide storage and lyophilised vs non-lyophilised peptides.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ipamorelin for human use?

No. This vial is sold for laboratory research and nothing else — it is not for human or veterinary consumption, and NorthScientific provides no dosing or protocol guidance in any form.

Is Ipamorelin a licensed medicine in the UK?

No. Ipamorelin is not a licensed medicine and has not been evaluated or approved by the MHRA. NorthScientific supplies it solely as a research-use-only laboratory reagent to laboratories and individuals carrying out legitimate research; we do not supply it for human or veterinary use.

Do you dispatch Ipamorelin outside the UK, or at weekends?

No to both. We deliver within the United Kingdom only, Northern Ireland included, and we dispatch on working days, so an order placed after 14:00 on a Friday or over a weekend is handled from the next working day.

Does 5 mg mean 5 mg of Ipamorelin peptide?

Not necessarily. A lyophilised peptide also carries bound water and counter-ions — the lysine side chain and the N-terminus of Ipamorelin are basic sites that pair with a counter-ion after purification — so the peptide fraction of the powder is a separate figure, net peptide content, which NorthScientific does not publish.

How does this differ from the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin blend?

This listing is Ipamorelin alone: one vial, 5 mg fill, £24.99. The blend listing is CJC-1295 No DAC and Ipamorelin co-lyophilised in one vial at 5 mg / 5 mg, priced £44.99; each listing states its own components and fill weight.
