CJC-1295 vs Ipamorelin

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin act on different pathways of the same GH axis. They're rarely run separately — the canonical research blend is CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin.

CJC-1295
Ipamorelin
Tagline
GHRH analog — raises baseline GH
Ghrelin mimetic — clean GH pulse
Mechanism
Growth-hormone-releasing-hormone analog. Increases GH pulse amplitude over hours.
Selective ghrelin/GHS-R agonist. Triggers a clean GH pulse without affecting cortisol or prolactin.
Half-life
~30 min (no-DAC) / ~8 days (DAC variant)
~2 hours
Typical dose
100 mcg, 1–2x daily (no-DAC, blended)
100–200 mcg, 1–2x daily (blended)
Primary use
Sustained GH baseline elevation
Pulsed GH release, sleep & recovery research
Stack fit
Almost always blended with Ipamorelin.
Blended with CJC-1295 for synergistic GH response.
Side-effect profile
Mild flushing or sleepiness post-injection.
Cleanest GHRP profile — no cortisol/prolactin bump.
Best for
Researchers wanting tonic GH elevation.
Recovery and sleep-quality research.

When To Pick Which

Pick CJC-1295 when

Standalone GHRH research (rare).

Pick Ipamorelin when

Standalone clean-pulse research (rare).

Run them together when

Almost always — the blend produces a larger, cleaner GH response than either alone.

FAQ

Why are they blended?

CJC-1295 raises the baseline GH pool; Ipamorelin triggers the pulse from that pool. Together they produce more GH than either alone.

Is the DAC version better?

DAC extends half-life to ~8 days but blunts pulse pattern. Most recovery research uses no-DAC for cleaner pulses.
