CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin

---

CJC 1295/Ipamorelin is a combination of 2 peptides. It is a Growth Hormone releasing hormone that stimulates one side of the pituitary gland. It does this to produce growth hormones. Ipamorelin mimics ghrelin and binds to the ghrelin receptor in the pituitary gland in the brain. Thus, it also acts on the pituitary gland to produce growth hormones. These two peptides combine to act together to increase HGH (human growth hormone) produced in the body. The CJC 1295/Ipamorelin combo can achieve this by acting in two different families of receptors.

What is CJC 1295?

A synthetically produced peptide, CJC 1295 was originally made to treat diseases, but has been discovered to have performance-enhancing effects that appeal to athletes. The peptide works by increasing protein synthesis and insulin-like growth factor levels. This process enables muscle tissue to grow, thereby increasing muscle mass and function.

What Is Ipamorelin?

Ipamorelin is a hormone secretagogue, meaning it helps excrete hormones into the bloodstream while simulating the pituitary gland to produce them. It serves other functions as well. Ipamorelin is associated with improved cognitive skills, memory, pain relief, and internal body temperature regulation along with growth and muscle development.

How does CJC 1295 work?

Ipamorelin and CJC 1295 are often used together to stimulate muscle development. The combination works by increasing the blood level of hormones associated with growth. It can increase muscle mass and strength, decrease body fat, improve injury recovery time, and even improve sleep quality and cognitive function.

Research completed with healthy men and women between the ages of 21 and 61, showed that CJC-1295 had the ability to increase serum growth hormone levels by 200-1000%. In these individuals, the elevated growth hormone production and release continued for up to 6 days because CJC-1295 has a half life of about 6-8 days. This longer half-life means the body continues to produce beyond the day of injection and is thought to be a great benefit has compared to other peptides that also have similar actions. For this reason and a few more, CJC-1295 has become very effective peptide for safely increasing growth hormone levels.

Benefits

• Increased Bone Density: As we get older, our bones get brittle, that is why injuries are more common.
• Increase in muscle mass
• Strengthens the cardiovascular system: More muscle mass = higher metabolism = less body fat
• The ability to burn fat: With an increase in muscle mass allows the body’s resting metabolic rate is boosted leading to more calories burned throughout the day.
• Increased Sex drive: Sex is huge. Not being able to function properly sexually can take a toll on your mental well-being.
• Improved Recovery and Repair from Injuries: Being on a proper bio-identical hormone replacement therapy program leads to an overall improved state of well-being. This adheres to recovery time (soreness) and acute musculoskeletal injuries.
• Strengthens Immune System: It is a tremendous benefit when you are trying to attain optimal health and that is achieved by having a strong immune system
• Improves cognition and memory function-It is an improved overall benefit to the body, this includes focus and feeling mental clarity and sharpness throughout the day.
• Improves Insulin Sensitivity-CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin improve insulin sensitivity thus reducing the body’s triglycerides. High blood sugars are reduced which helps burn more body fat.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?

While patients will notice some significant changes in the body after the first month, the full benefits are usually fully noticed after three to six months of therapy.
