Went down a rabbit hole on this one last night. It's basically the only published RCT of ipamorelin in humans, n=114 bowel resection patients, IV ipamorelin twice daily vs placebo for postop ileus. Time to first tolerated meal was about 25 hours on ipa vs 32 hours on placebo, so a 7 hour edge, but p=0.15 so it missed the primary endpoint. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-06-05 |

| INDEPENDENT-REVIEW | review | The somatostatin suppression mechanism in Ipamorelin is the part that most explanations skip. It's not just stimulating more GH, it's also reducing the brake. That dual action is why it combines well with GHRH analogs. On the sourcing side, I saw that guppy meds carries this as a pre-combined prescription compound which saves sourcing each separately. | COMMUNITY | — | 2026-05-31 |
