Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
The standard growth-hormone-support stack. The two hit different pituitary receptors — CJC-1295 amplifies the GH pulse (GHRH receptor) while ipamorelin triggers it and releases the somatostatin brake (ghrelin receptor). Hitting both simultaneously produces more GH than either alone at the same doses: genuine synergy, not marketing.
Components & typical mixing
| Peptide | Typical dose | Typical mix | Units/dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ipamorelin | 200 mcg–300 mcg, 1–3x daily, often before bed | 5 mg + 2 ml | 12 units = 300 mcg |
| CJC-1295 (no DAC) | 100 mcg–200 mcg, 1–3x daily, paired with a GHRP | 5 mg + 2 ml | 4 units = 100 mcg |
How the protocol is typically run
- →Standard combo: 100 mcg CJC-1295 (no DAC) + 200–300 mcg ipamorelin per injection, drawn together in one syringe.
- →Timing: before bed on an emptier stomach is the classic slot — it rides the natural nighttime GH pulse. Ambitious protocols add a second (and sometimes third) injection post-workout or on waking.
- →Cycling: common patterns run 8–12 weeks with breaks, out of receptor-sensitivity caution rather than hard evidence.
- →Both reconstitute conventionally (2 ml water in a 5 mg vial is typical); the calculator gives per-unit math for each so combined draws stay accurate.
Cautions
Avoid eating carbs/fat right before injection — insulin and free fatty acids blunt the GH pulse. Anyone with a history of insulin resistance should know GH elevation nudges glucose; bloodwork beats vibes.
