  • Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 DAC represent two of the most studied growth hormone (GH) axis research compounds — but they act through fundamentally different receptor systems, produce distinct GH pulse dynamics, and carry different research implications for somatopause reversal and longevity biology. Ipamorelin is a selective GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) agonist; CJC-1295 DAC is a long-acting GHRH receptor (GHRHR) agonist. Understanding these mechanistic differences is essential for selecting the appropriate compound — or combination — for a given research programme in GH axis ageing biology.
