Should ipamorelin be cycled?
Studies in people do not establish an on and off schedule for ipamorelin. This site's review found one study in people for it, and that study does not compare a cycle against steady use. It acts on the same ghrelin receptor family where daily GHRP-2 lowered peak growth hormone over five days in nine healthy men. So the body can get used to drugs in this family. But nobody has tested a pause calendar for ipamorelin. The schedules passed around online are unverified. This site does not invent a schedule. Full detail at /cycling.
