How it works

Ipamorelin is a GHRP (growth hormone releasing peptide) that stimulates GH release from the pituitary. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog that amplifies and prolongs that GH pulse. Together they produce significantly greater and more sustained GH release than either peptide alone.

Why compounded?

Neither Ipamorelin nor CJC-1295 has an FDA-approved commercial equivalent. Licensed compounding pharmacies are the only legal source for these peptides in the US.

What is

Ipamorelin / CJC-1295

?

Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are two complementary peptides that work on different steps of the growth hormone secretion pathway — producing a synergistic effect when combined.

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that mimics ghrelin, binding to GHSR receptors in the pituitary to trigger GH release. It is considered one of the cleanest GHRPs available — producing minimal cortisol, prolactin, or appetite stimulation compared to older peptides like GHRP-2 or GHRP-6.

CJC-1295 is a modified GHRH analog that extends the half-life of natural GHRH from minutes to days (with DAC — drug affinity complex), providing a sustained background elevation in GH pulsatility. Combined with Ipamorelin, it produces GH pulses that mimic youthful secretion patterns.

How

Ipamorelin / CJC-1295

Works

Ipamorelin — GHSR Agonism
Ipamorelin binds to the ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) on pituitary somatotrophs, triggering GH release in a pulsatile, dose-dependent manner without significantly affecting cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH.

CJC-1295 — GHRH Receptor Agonism
CJC-1295 binds to GHRH receptors on the pituitary, amplifying GH synthesis and release. The DAC version binds to albumin in plasma, extending its half-life to 6–8 days and producing a sustained elevation in baseline GH.

Synergistic Effect
GHRH (CJC-1295) and GHRP (Ipamorelin) act on different receptors and through different mechanisms — when combined, GH release is 2–4x greater than either peptide alone.

Primary Uses

Anti-aging / Longevity: Age-related GH decline, body composition, skin quality, bone density

Fat Loss: Visceral fat reduction, metabolic optimization

Muscle Recovery: Post-workout recovery, lean mass preservation

Sleep: Deep sleep enhancement (GH is primarily released during slow-wave sleep)

Injury Recovery: Accelerated healing, collagen synthesis

Other Applications

Dosing Information

⚠️ Note: Dosing should be determined by your prescriber. The information below is general guidance only.

Typical Adult Dosing

Standard protocol: 100–300mcg Ipamorelin + 100–300mcg CJC-1295 SubQ, injected together nightly at bedtime

Advanced (twice daily): Morning and bedtime injections for accelerated results

Nightly dosing leverages the body's natural overnight GH pulse. Allow 3–6 months for meaningful body composition changes. IGF-1 levels can be monitored to assess response.

Start at the lower end (100mcg each) for the first 2–4 weeks to assess tolerance. Some water retention is common initially as GH levels rise — this typically resolves. Cycle 5 days on, 2 days off to prevent receptor desensitization. IGF-1 monitoring at 3 months helps optimize dosing.

Common:

  • Mild water retention (especially initially)
  • Injection site redness or soreness
  • Flushing or tingling after injection
  • Increased hunger (mild with Ipamorelin — much less than GHRP-2/6)

Less Common:

  • Headache
  • Joint aching at higher doses
  • Mild fatigue initially
