Human study discussed

Ipamorelin has been investigated as a growth-hormone secretagogue and for bowel recovery after surgery. In a randomized postoperative study, the primary comparison for recovery of gastrointestinal function was not statistically significant. A proposed mechanism or hormone response therefore should not be presented as demonstrated recovery, sleep or body-composition benefit.
