How does CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin work?
CJC-1295 is a GHRH analogue that stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone, while ipamorelin is a ghrelin mimetic that further amplifies GH pulses. Together they provide a synergistic increase in natural growth hormone and IGF-1 production.

Reconstitute and inject subcutaneously as directed by your prescriber and pharmacist, typically at bedtime. Rotate injection sites.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin side effects
Water retention, joint aches, tingling or numbness (especially in hands), flushing, and injection site reactions may occur. Mild transient low blood sugar has been reported if not taken as directed.
Drug interactions with CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
Glucocorticoids may blunt the GH-stimulating effect. Avoid taking within 2 hours of a high-carbohydrate meal — an insulin spike can reduce GH release. Inform your prescriber of all medications.
