CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin

The two-lever growth-hormone stack. Instead of injecting synthetic HGH, this tells your own pituitary to pulse its own growth hormone in a natural rhythm, for deeper sleep, faster recovery, leaner muscle, and tighter skin. The two together release ~40% more GH than either one alone.

Your starting dose
10units
500 mcg CJC + 500 mcg Ipa

Daily, every night, not 5-on/2-off

10 units 050100 1 mL

Your insulin syringe is marked 0 to 100. That whole line is 1 mL. Draw to the 10 mark.

01
The protocolHow to mix it, how much to draw, and how long a vial lasts.
The numbers
Vial5 mg CJC-1295 + 5 mg Ipamorelin (one combo vial)
Mix with1 mL BAC water → makes 1 unit = 50 mcg of each
Start10 units (500 mcg CJC + 500 mcg Ipa), once nightly
Sweet spot10 to 18 units (500 to 900 mcg each)
FrequencyDaily, every night, not 5-on/2-off
WhenPM before bed, fasted, 60 min after your last meal, under the skin
Cycle12 to 16 weeks on / 2 to 4 weeks off
Units made simple: your insulin syringe is marked 0 to 100. That whole line = 1 mL. Both peptides are in the same vial, so one draw gives you both. Draw to the 10 mark = 500 mcg of each. That's your dose. Going up? Draw to 15, then 20. No math.
How long one bottle lasts
At 10u nightly~10 days per vial
At 15u nightly~6 to 7 days per vial
At 20u nightly~5 days per vial
One combo vial = 100 units total. Dosed daily, so a full 12 to 16 week cycle runs roughly 8 to 12 vials depending on your dose.

What it doesWhat you get, how it does it, and what to know before you run it.
What it does
Deeper sleepGH pulses hardest during deep sleep, restoring the pulse deepens it. This is almost always the first thing people feel, usually within the first week or two.
RecoveryFaster tissue repair, joints, connective tissue, workout recovery. The GH/IGF-1 axis is your body's repair system, turned back up.
Leaner bodyGH → IGF-1 drives fat mobilization; with Ipamorelin releasing the brake, the pulse is bigger, leaner body composition over a full cycle.
Lean muscleIGF-1 drives protein synthesis and Ipamorelin adds a muscle-preserving effect, helps you build and hold muscle without going near steroids or HGH.
Skin and anti-agingThe GH→IGF-1 collagen halo, better skin quality and firmness, the "you look rested" effect.
Your own GHIt restores an age-25 GH rhythm using your own pituitary, no shutdown, no synthetic hormone, insulin sensitivity stays intact.
How it works

Two levers on the same gland. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog, it primes your pituitary and drives the growth-hormone signal, and it's engineered to resist DPP-4, the enzyme that shreds natural GHRH in minutes. Ipamorelin is a ghrelin-receptor mimic that ALSO releases somatostatin, your body's GH "off-switch", so it takes the brakes off. Push the gas and lift the brake at the same time and you get ~40% more GH than either alone. Because it's your own GH firing in a natural pulse, not injected HGH, you get the benefits without the insulin resistance and shutdown that come with synthetic HGH.

What to know before you run it
Two receptors, one pulse. CJC and Ipamorelin work on two different receptors on the same pituitary cell, one pushes the gas, the other lifts the brake. That's why together they release far more GH than either alone (it's multiplicative, not just additive).
No-DAC = a clean nightly pulse. The version in this blend is dosed nightly to give a short, natural GH pulse, mimicking your body's own rhythm, instead of a flat, constant elevation.
Ipamorelin is the "clean" GHRP. It fires GH without the hunger, cortisol, or prolactin spike you get from older GH peptides, which is exactly why it's the one paired with CJC.
Why before bed, fasted. Your natural GH surge happens ~60 to 90 min after you fall asleep, dosing PM lands your shot right on that wave. And insulin blunts the pulse, so a fasted, empty stomach is what makes it land.
These are secretagogues, they trigger YOUR own GH, not synthetic HGH. Your own GH actually improves insulin sensitivity; injected HGH hurts it.
Ipamorelin is the "clean" one, it fires GH without the hunger, cortisol, or prolactin spike you get from older GH peptides.
Timing beats dose. Fasted and before bed lands the shot on your body's natural nightly GH pulse. A late meal wastes it.
It's a slow burn, sleep and recovery improve in the first week or two, but recomposition (lean muscle, fat, skin) shows over months.
If you retain water, you went too high. Drop the dose, then titrate back up.

How to run itMixing, injecting, what to eat, and what to take alongside it.
Mixing and injecting
Mix: add the 1 mL of BAC water slowly down the side of the vial. Swirl gently, never shake.
Store: in the fridge after mixing.
Inject: into belly fat, ~2 inches from your belly button. Pinch, go straight in, push slow. Rotate the spot each night, fresh pin every time.
First time injecting? → Read Injection Basics (60 seconds, it barely hurts).
Your diet
FastedEmpty stomach at night, nothing for ~60 min before the shot.
No carbs lateCarbs/insulin blunt the GH pulse. Keep the pre-bed window clean.
OtherwiseEat normally through the day, no special diet needed, just protect the nightly fasted window.
Take these alongside it
Deep sleepZinc 30 to 50 mg and magnesium glycinate 400 to 500 mg at night, keeps you in deep sleep, where GH does its work.
BaseVitamin D3 (with K2).
OptionalArginine and glutamine on an empty stomach can amplify the nightly pulse.
