$108.00
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 (5 mg / 5 mg) combines a highly selective GHRP with an extended-release GHRH analog to create a potent, physiologic GH-pulse research tool. Every batch is purity-assayed, identity-confirmed, and professionally labeled in the USA by Regenerative Health Peptides, then supplied strictly for in-vitro experimentation—perfect for scientists studying muscle hypertrophy, body-fat regulation, and healthy-aging endocrinology while sourcing premium research peptides online from a leading US peptide laboratory.
Overview
Ipamorelin, a pentapeptide GHS-R1a agonist, and CJC-1295 (without DAC), a 30-amino-acid GHRH analog, work synergistically to stimulate both GHS-R and GHRH receptors. This dual activation triggers a significant yet finely controlled growth hormone (GH) pulse followed by a sustained increase in IGF-1 levels—without elevating prolactin or cortisol, making it a highly targeted GH-releasing strategy.
This peptide pairing is widely utilized in research exploring anabolic growth, fat metabolism, and neurotrophic effects. Its ability to enhance GH pulsatility and downstream IGF-1 signaling has made it a valuable tool for investigating cellular regeneration, lean muscle development, metabolic modulation, and neural repair in in-vitro settings.

Peptide | Sequence (acetylated) | Mol. Wt. |
---|---|---|
Ipamorelin | Ac-Ala-Trp-Lys-D-2-Nal-Lys-NH₂ | 711 g/mol |
CJC-1295 (w/o DAC) | Tyr-D-Ala-Asp-Ala-Ile-Phe-Thr-Asn-Ser-Tyr-Arg-Lys-Val-Leu-Ala-Gly-Gln-Leu-Ser-Ala-Arg-Lys-Leu-Leu-Gln-Asp-Ile-Met-Ser-Arg-NH₂ | 3367 g/mol |
Mechanisms of Action
- Ipamorelin: GHS-R1a → PLC/IP₃ → Ca²⁺ influx → rapid GH release (minimal ACTH).
- CJC-1295: GHRH-R → AC/cAMP/PKA → GH gene transcription; albumin binding confers ~30 h in-vitro half-life.
- Synergy: Concurrent GHS-R and GHRH activation amplifies GH pulsatility, elevates IGF-1 for ≥24 h, and up-regulates mTOR / PI3K signaling—key for protein synthesis and satellite-cell activation.
Key Research Areas
- Muscle Hypertrophy & Strength – ↑ myofibrillar protein synthesis, satellite-cell proliferation, recovery time.[1-3]
- Fat-Loss & Metabolic Health – ↑ lipolysis, fatty-acid oxidation, insulin sensitivity in high-fat diet models.[4-6]
- Bone & Connective Tissue – ↑ osteocalcin, COL1A1, and tendon collagen density.[7-8]
- Neuroprotection & Cognition – GH/IGF-1-mediated hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic resilience.[9-10]
- Hair-Follicle & Skin – IGF-1-driven dermal-papilla proliferation, potential anagen-phase support.[11]

Scientific context – Pulsatile GH release, rather than continuous infusion, is crucial for maximal anabolic and metabolic effects. Combining a GHRP (Ipamorelin) with a GHRH analog (CJC-1295) exploits distinct receptor pathways, producing a larger, more physiologic GH surge and a secondary, sustained IGF-1 elevation. This mirrors natural endocrine patterns and minimizes cortisol / prolactin spikes seen with first-generation GHRPs.
2.1 Pharmacokinetics & Safety
- CJC-1295 half-life – single 30 µg kg⁻¹ dose elevated IGF-1 for 6 days in healthy adults.[1]
- Ipamorelin selectivity – releases GH without affecting ACTH or cortisol, confirming adrenal neutrality.[2, 18]
- Combination tolerability – 28-day rodent study showed normal gluconeogenesis and liver enzymes at 10× research dose.[13]
2.2 Anabolic & Myogenic Outcomes
- Overload-induced muscle hypertrophy in rats: combo ↑ protein synthesis 37 % vs. vehicle; satellite-cell activation confirmed via MyoD staining.[3]
- Resistance-training model: human volunteers receiving GHS-R + GHRH analog during an 8-week program gained 1.8 kg lean mass vs. placebo (p < 0.05).[19]
2.3 Lipolysis & Body-Composition
- Obese mice: adiposity ↓ 18 % and insulin sensitivity ↑ 25 % after 4 weeks Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 vs. diet control.[5]
- Clinical pilot (n = 25): CJC-1295 alone reduced visceral fat 8 % over 12 weeks; synergy data suggest further benefit[4, 6].
2.4 Skeletal & Connective Tissue
- GHRH analog enhanced osteoblast ALP activity (+48 %) and bone mineral density in ovariectomized rats.[7]
- Combined GH/IGF-1 axis up-regulated collagen I & III in tendon fibroblasts, improving tensile strength.[8]
2.5 Neurocognitive & Longevity Markers
- GH infusion promoted hippocampal neurogenesis (+27 % BrdU⁺ cells) and improved maze performance in aged mice.[9]
- IGF-1 activation decreased reactive astrocytosis and preserved synaptic density post-ischemia.[10]
- Long-term GH axis modulation linked to elevated mitochondrial biogenesis and sirtuin-1 expression, potential longevity signals.[20]
