No controlled human combination data
No published controlled human study was identified in which CJC-1295 and ipamorelin were given together and a clinical or pharmacologic outcome measured. Vendor synergy, “GH stack” doses, and body-composition claims are not evidence. See component monographs for what is actually known.
Section 1 of 6What this stack means
What this stack means
CJC-1295 + ipamorelin is a catalog / vendor name for co-administering (often co-lyophilizing) two research peptides:
| Component | Role | Existing monograph |
|---|---|---|
| CJC-1295 | GHRH(1-29) analogue (DAC or no-DAC / Mod GRF) | Limited/early human data — not approved |
| Ipamorelin | Selective GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) agonist | Limited/early human data — not approved |
There is no CAS for the blend. Mechanistic rationale (GHRH receptor + GHS-R1a → GH) is a hypothesis from receptor biology and older GHRH+GHRP literature — not proof for this product.
Legacy slugs ipa-morelin and ghrh-ghrp-blend permanently redirect here. Related but different stack: ghrp-2-cjc-blend (GHRP-2, not ipamorelin).
Section 2 of 6DAC vs no-DAC (critical)
DAC vs no-DAC (critical)
CJC-1295 is sold in two chemically different forms:
| Form | Half-life (reported) | Strongest human reference | Typical vendor “daily stack” fit? |
|---|---|---|---|
| With DAC (DAC:GRF) | ~5.8–8.1 days (Teichman 2006) | PMID 16352683 — GH↑ / IGF-1↑ after SC doses | Poor match for daily multi-shot marketing |
| Without DAC / Mod GRF 1-29 | ~30 minutes | No separate approved therapeutic RCT in the component monograph | Usual match for daily-injection blend marketing |
Rules for readers:
- Ask which form a vial contains (COA / DAC moiety).
- Do not transfer Teichman 2006 DAC monotherapy hormone curves to a no-DAC blend without an explicit disclaimer.
- PubChem: with-DAC CID 91971820; without-DAC CID 91976842; ipamorelin CID 9831659.

Component evidence (pointer only)
CJC-1295 with DAC — Teichman et al., 2006 (PMID 16352683)
Two randomised placebo-controlled ascending-dose studies in healthy adults. Single doses raised GH ~2–10× for ≥6 days and IGF-1 ~1.5–3× for 9–11 days; multiple doses kept IGF-1 above baseline up to 28 days. Endpoints were hormones, not body composition, sleep, or recovery.
Ipamorelin
Early work (Raun 1998) describes selective GH release with minimal ACTH/cortisol/prolactin. Human PK/PD (Gobburu 1999): terminal half-life ~2 h; one GH pulse. The only published efficacy RCT (postoperative ileus, Beck 2014 / NCT00672074) missed its primary endpoint. Never approved; WADA S2-related (see component page).
Combination search (2026-10-07)
PubMed “CJC-1295 AND ipamorelin” returned narrative/doping/sports reviews and noise — no primary combination study. No CT.gov registration for the pair was identified.
Section 4 of 6Claims vs evidence
Claims vs evidence
| Claim | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Stack = GHRH analogue + GHS-R1a agonist | Partially supported as a trade definition |
| Proven synergistic GH release for the pair | Not verified |
| Teichman 2006 proves the blend | False transfer — DAC monotherapy only |
| Ipamorelin “approved” / “safe HGH alternative” | False as approval; ileus RCT missed primary |
| PeptideGuide “fda-approved” on GH Synergy Blend source snapshot | Source-label error — quarantined |
| Fixed clinical dose / IU scheme | Reject |
| Own CAS for the blend; WADA-allowed | False |
