CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
A two-peptide stack for growth hormone, sleep, and recovery
Educational content, not medical advice. All prescribing decisions are made by a U.S. licensed clinician after intake.
What CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is
CJC-1295 and ipamorelin are prescribed together because they raise growth hormone through two different doors. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog that increases the size of each pulse; ipamorelin is a selective secretagogue that triggers additional pulses without meaningfully affecting cortisol or appetite.
What it's used for
- Larger and more frequent natural GH pulses than either peptide alone
- Commonly reported deeper sleep within the first month
- Supports lean mass retention and recovery during training blocks
- Ipamorelin is selective, so hunger and cortisol effects are minimal
How the protocol runs
Who it tends to suit
- Patients who want a stronger GH response than sermorelin alone
- Adults training seriously who need better recovery
- People prioritizing sleep quality and body composition together
What to know first
- Food near the injection blunts the GH pulse — dosing is on an empty stomach.
- Water retention and injection-site reactions are the most common complaints.
- Not appropriate with active malignancy; clinician review is required.
Frequently asked questions
Why stack CJC-1295 with ipamorelin?
They act on separate receptors. CJC-1295 increases the amplitude of the natural GH pulse, and ipamorelin adds pulses. Combined, the GH response is larger than either produces on its own.
How is this different from sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a single GHRH analog with a short half-life. The CJC-1295 and ipamorelin combination generally produces a stronger and more sustained response, which is why it costs more.
Will it make me hungry?
Ipamorelin is selective and generally does not drive appetite the way older secretagogues such as GHRP-6 do.
