## FAQ

### What is the molecular weight of ipamorelin?

PubChem lists ipamorelin (formula C38H49N9O5) with a molecular weight of 711.9.

### How many micromoles are in 2 mg of ipamorelin?

In this example, 2 mg / 711.9 mg per mmol = 0.00281 mmol, which is about 2.81 µmol of peptide in a 2 mg vial.

### What kind of peptide is ipamorelin?

A 1998 European Journal of Endocrinology paper describes it as a pentapeptide (Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2) and a selective growth hormone secretagogue.

### Which receptor does ipamorelin act on in research?

A pharmacological profiling using GHRP and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) antagonists, reported by Raun et al. in the European Journal of Endocrinology in 1998, "clearly demonstrated that ipamorelin, like GHRP-6, stimulates GH release via a GHRP-like receptor."

### What plunger height do the cartridges for these pens use?

Our 3 ml cartridges, clear and amber, use the 11 mm long rubber plunger, and all four PreppinPeppers pens are built for it.

### Can I check the plunger height through the cartridge glass?

Yes. On our clear and amber 3 ml cartridges the rubber plunger is visible through the glass, so you can measure its height from outside with a ruler.

### Why must I pick the water volume before mixing?

Concentration equals 2 mg divided by the water volume. Without a chosen and recorded volume, every later calculation is a guess.
