CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

Growth hormone-stimulating peptide combination for body composition, recovery, and sleep

Overview

CJC-1295 is a 30-amino acid GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) analog that stimulates sustained growth hormone secretion with minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin. Ipamorelin is a selective GH secretagogue that mimics ghrelin, stimulating GH release from the pituitary. Together, this combination produces a synergistic increase in growth hormone and IGF-1 levels, supporting fat loss, lean muscle gain, improved sleep, and accelerated recovery.
