How it works
Ipamorelin selectively stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone without raising cortisol or prolactin. CJC-1295 extends the half-life of GH pulses, creating a sustained release that closely mimics natural GH rhythms.
Research summary
Ipamorelin has a well-established safety profile compared to older GHRPs due to its selectivity. Multiple clinical studies confirm GH pulse augmentation. CJC-1295 clinical data shows sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation for up to 6 days post-injection.

These peptides complement Ipamorelin + CJC-1295's mechanism and are commonly combined in protocols.
BPC-157
The most researched healing peptide — gut repair, tendon recovery, and injury healing.
TB-500
Systemic tissue repair and wound healing — the most powerful BPC-157 stack partner.
GHK-Cu
The anti-aging peptide in Bryan Johnson's own hair and skin protocol — available in injectable form for systemic tissue remodelling.
NMN
The NAD+ precursor taken daily by both Andrew Huberman and Bryan Johnson — restores cellular energy production that declines with age.
Tesamorelin
The only FDA-approved peptide for visceral fat reduction — a synthetic GHRH analogue with the strongest clinical evidence of any GH-axis peptide.
Hexarelin
The most potent GHRP-class GH secretagogue — with additional cardioprotective effects independent of its GH-releasing activity.
Sermorelin
A gentler GH stimulator — the entry-level anti-ageing peptide for those new to growth hormone therapy.
GHRP-2
The most potent GHRP-class peptide approved for diagnostic use in Japan — stronger GH release than Ipamorelin, with clinically established safety data.
Supplements that pair with Ipamorelin + CJC-1295
These supplements directly amplify or support Ipamorelin + CJC-1295's mechanism of action.
Creatine Monohydrate
The most evidence-backed performance supplement in existence — increases strength, power, and muscle recovery.
Whey Protein
The most bioavailable protein source — essential for hitting protein targets that support muscle growth and recovery.
Magnesium Glycinate
The most bioavailable form of magnesium — essential for sleep quality, muscle recovery, and hormone production.
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)
Anti-inflammatory foundation — reduces exercise-induced inflammation, supports cardiovascular health, and enhances GH receptor sensitivity.

How this connects to your protocol
Higher protein intake in adults over 35 is the strongest dietary intervention against sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). GH peptide protocols amplify the benefit — but only if protein substrate is available.
