CJC-1295 no DAC & Ipamorelin: Protocol Comparison

GH Release Mechanism GHRH receptor agonist. Amplifies natural pulses Ghrelin receptor agonist. Triggers independent release Dual-pathway stimulation with synergistic effect Combined protocol produces 30–50% higher IGF-1 elevation than either peptide alone Cort

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • GH Release Mechanism
  • GHRH receptor agonist. Amplifies natural pulses
  • Ghrelin receptor agonist. Triggers independent release
  • Dual-pathway stimulation with synergistic effect
  • Combined protocol produces 30–50% higher IGF-1 elevation than either peptide alone
  • Cortisol/Prolactin Impact
  • Minimal at therapeutic doses
  • No measurable elevation
  • Ipamorelin's selectivity makes the combination safe for long-term use
  • Injection Frequency
  • 1–2x daily
  • 2–3x daily for sustained effect
  • 1–2x daily (same timing for both peptides)
  • Once-daily dosing (bedtime) is sufficient for most women over 40; twice-daily adds marginal benefit
  • Typical Dosage Range
  • 100–200mcg per injection
  • 200–300mcg per injection
  • 100–200mcg each per injection
  • Starting at lower end (100mcg each) and titrating based on side effects is standard
  • Cost per Month (Estimated)
  • $80–$120
  • $90–$140
  • $150–$220
  • Combined protocol is more cost-effective than using higher doses of a single peptide
  • Reconstitution Stability
  • 28 days refrigerated
  • 28 days refrigerated (store together or separately)
  • Both peptides can be mixed in the same syringe immediately before injection
