Why does ipamorelin cause joint pain?

This site's ipamorelin studies do not measure joint pain. The one study in people, in 117 patients who had part of their bowel removed, found ipamorelin given by IV drip was well tolerated. They reached a first meal they could keep down a bit sooner than people on a dummy drip (25.3 versus 32.6 hours), but the gap was small enough that it could have been chance. The 1998 paper that first described ipamorelin measured growth hormone release, and how little it raised cortisol and prolactin, in animals, not joints in people. User reports of joint pain are not a counted study result. This FAQ does not invent a side-effect rate the studies do not contain.
