Prevents Cognitive Decline

By restoring growth hormone to healthy levels, ipamorelin together with other growth hormone releasing peptides can help prevent age-related decline in cognitive function as well as those caused by certain medical conditions:
1. Studies assessing the benefits of growth hormone secretagogues such as ipamorelin show that they can improve age-related decline in cognitive function. [112]
2. In older adults, administration of growth hormone secretagogues improves short-term memory and active problem-solving skills. [113]
3. In healthy older men and women, administration of growth hormone secretagogues improves cognitive function. [114]
4. In healthy older adults, administration of growth hormone secretagogues prevents cognitive decline associated with aging and Alzheimer’s disease. [115]
5. In adults with mild cognitive impairment and older adults with normal cognitive function, administration of growth hormone secretagogues improves cognitive function by increasing the levels of brain chemicals such as gamma-Aminobutyric acid and N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate. [116]
6. By boosting ghrelin levels, ipamorelin helps protect brain cells against programmed cell death, thereby preventing cognitive decline. [117-122]
7. Ipamorelin administration can help prevent Parkinson’s disease by boosting ghrelin levels, which in turn prevents loss of dopamine, a brain chemical that plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior. [123-130]
8. Administration of growth hormone secretagogues boosts IGF-1 levels, which in turn activates intracellular pathways involved in protection of nerve cells in the brain. [131-148]
