How Does CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin Work?
This blend works by stimulating the body’s natural GH production in two key ways:
- CJC-1295 (GHRH analog) – Increases the amount of GH released over a longer period, mimicking natural secretion patterns.
- Ipamorelin (GHS peptide) – Works rapidly and efficiently to trigger GH release without affecting cortisol or prolactin levels (unlike older GH secretagogues). Together, they provide a steady and sustainable boost in GH levels, leading to long-term benefits without the negative feedback suppression associated with synthetic GH injections.
Usage & Administration
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is commonly administered via subcutaneous (SubQ) injection, usually in the evening to mimic natural GH secretion cycles.
Typical Dosage Recommendations
Standard Protocol: 250-300 mcg of CJC-1295 + 250-300 mcg of Ipamorelin, once or twice daily
- Athletic Performance & Recovery: 300-500 mcg of each, taken at night or post-workout
- Anti-Aging & General Wellness: 250 mcg of each, once daily before bed
Cycle Length: Typically, 3-6 months for best results, with periodic breaks if needed.
As always, consult a medical professional before beginning peptide therapy.
