Tesamorelin vs ipamorelin

Nobody is choosing between these two. The sellers here sell them together: 2 of the 19 priced listings buy both on one line, and not one figure here buys the ipamorelin half on its own. They work through two different receptors, and only one of them has an approved product behind it.

The pair these records actually sell as one thing

3 of the 14 sellers whose pages here list Tesamorelin; 3 list Ipamorelin. The overlap is not a coincidence of stock: the listings that carry Ipamorelin carry it inside something, and 2 of them name Tesamorelin as the other half.

  • ElitePhysiqMD, “Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin” — $274.50 per month — dose not stated, read September 2026
  • Longevixx, “Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin” — from $349 per month — dose not stated, read September 2026

Each of those figures is a price for the pair, not for either molecule inside it, which is why ipamorelin has no cost row at all on this site while appearing on 3 menus. The molecule that is never sold alone is the subject of can you buy ipamorelin on its own?

One seller charges the same for the pair as for one of them

This is the sharpest thing these records say about what a pairing costs, and it was found by comparing figures rather than by reading them. 1 of the 14 sellers here prints the same figure for a listing that buys one of these molecules and for a listing that buys both.

ElitePhysiqMD lists “Tesamorelin” at $274.50 per month — dose not stated, and “Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin” at $274.50 per month — dose not stated. Both were read September 2026.

Two receptors, and the reason a pairing is a pairing

The mechanism row is why these two get bundled rather than ranked. Tesamorelin is recorded here as a GHRH analog and Ipamorelin as a ghrelin mimetic, and the paper that introduced the second one settled which receptor it works through by running it against antagonists of both.

A pharmacological profiling using GHRP and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) antagonists clearly demonstrated that ipamorelin, like GHRP-6, stimulates GH release via a GHRP-like receptor.
Raun et al. 1998, abstract, read September 2026

Two doors rather than one. That is the whole of the pharmacological case for pairing them, and it is also the reason a comparison between them is a slightly odd thing to ask for: the listings above are not offering a reader a choice between these two, they are offering both. What separates the two receptor classes across all 5 molecules on this site is GHRH analogs vs ghrelin mimetics; the selectivity claim that gets made about the second one, and the species it was measured in, is does ipamorelin raise cortisol? The first one’s own label, and the one use it is approved for, are read on what is tesamorelin.

Their two half-life records sit at opposite ends

Their two records sit at opposite ends of what this site can show a reader, and the contrast is the kind of thing a table hides. Ipamorelin’s comes out of a published pharmacokinetic trial in people, and the paper says what it measured and in whom.

A trial was conducted with a dose escalation design comprising 5 different infusion rates (4.21, 14.02, 42.13, 84.27 and 140.45 nmol/kg over 15 minutes) with eight healthy male subjects at each dose level.

The PK parameters showed dose-proportionality, with a short terminal half-life of 2 hours
Gobburu et al. 1999, abstract, read September 2026

One figure, not a span — which is why the axis below draws it as a tick rather than a bar. A single measured value is recorded as a single value here; widening it into a comfortable-looking range would print a precision the trial never offered, in the opposite direction from the midpoint collapse this site fails its own build over.

Tesamorelin’s figure comes from a product label rather than a journal, and the label is specific about whose minutes they are: 8 min in healthy subjects, one 1.4 mg dose of EGRIFTA SV. The newer formulation’s label reports 11 minutes in healthy subjects after single dose subcutaneous administration of the 1.28 mg of EGRIFTA WR.

So the difference between them is a factor of 15 to 15, and it is the whole practical difference between these two: a drug measured in minutes and a drug measured in hours, both injected daily.

Plasma half-life, logarithmic scale, ordered shortest first. The spacing is the point: linear spacing would put both bands drawn here inside one smudge at the left edge. Where a figure is a range the mark is the range; where a single value is recorded the mark is a tick, because a bar there would draw a span nobody measured.

Side by side

Attributes down, molecules across, both columns kept at every screen width. A cell reading “not recorded” means nothing has been published either way, which is not the same as a finding of no effect. The two rows that separate this pair most are the two a price list has no column for: what receptor each reaches, and how long each lasts.

Every figure below is followed by the document it comes from, and the documents are listed in full at the foot of the page.

The reported-use row is what people describe doing online, collected in a peer-reviewed review that labels its own table “anthropological/behavioural data, not clinical recommendations”. It is not prescribing information, and it is not what any seller here charges for.

What the figures buy

Every figure here that touches either molecule, with the qualifier that makes it mean something. 2 of the 7 of them buy one of these two on its own; 5 buy more than one thing and are therefore not a cost for any single molecule inside them. That exclusion is computed, and counted here rather than left out quietly.

0 of the 2 drawn figures state what dose the money buys, against 1 different billing cycle and 2 different kinds of figure. Nothing here names a cheapest, and the board is in record order rather than sorted by size: a floor and a standing rate are not two sizes of one measurement.

7 priced listings from 3 of the 4 sellers below, quoted against 1 different billing cycle, in the order the records are written — not ranked, not sorted by size, and no cheapest is named, because a floor, a standing rate, a prepaid total and an introductory price are four different measurements. The other 1 seller is listed with no figure at all; the reason is in the row. Every figure read off the seller's own page, September 2026.

The board scrolls sideways; the seller column and the button column both stay put.

Where both are sold

2 of this site’s 14 seller records carry more than one of Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin — which is the only reason they are listed here rather than everyone we have read. Their figures, with every qualifier attached, are in the board above. Some sellers here pay us a commission; it does not change who is listed or what their figure says — how we earn.

ElitePhysiqMD

Prices four listings across three of these molecules on one catalog page and states a dose on none of them. Tesamorelin alone and tesamorelin with ipamorelin carry the identical figure, which is the clearest thing on the page: adding a second molecule changes the price by nothing. The catalog also prints “Save 10% with subscription” beside the figures.

Longevixx

Every figure on this catalog is a floor — the page prints “from” in front of all of them — and none states a dose, so the gaps between the four are gaps between starting points, not between what anyone pays. The CJC-1295 listing is sold only as a pairing and never says which form of CJC-1295 it contains.
