Growth Hormone

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin

Growth hormone support, sleep, and body composition

Quick answer

A 10 mg blend vial with 2 mL of water makes 5 mg/mL. A 200 mcg dose is 4 units. Take it at night on an empty stomach, 12 weeks on and 4 weeks off.

Mix it
10 mg vial + 2 mL water
Draw
About 4 units on a U-100 syringe
How often
Once at night, on an empty stomach
Store it
Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.

What it is

These two work together. CJC-1295 tells the body to release growth hormone, and Ipamorelin makes that release cleaner and more controlled. They are almost always studied as a pair.

Most used for

  • Deeper sleep
  • Recovery between hard training days
  • Body composition over several months
  • Skin and connective tissue quality

These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.

Dosing at a glance

These are the amounts used most often in research. Always start at the low end.

Mixing it

A common setup for CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bac water.

That makes 5 mg per mL. A 200 mcg dose is about 4 units on a standard insulin syringe.

Bacteriostatic water is all you need here. Acetic acid is only for powders that will not dissolve. See the mixing guide.
