- Here’s a simple comparison to help you see where they differ:
- Feature
- Ipamorelin
- CJC-1295
- Mechanism
- Mimics ghrelin, stimulates GH via GHS-R
- GHRH analog, stimulates pituitary
- Half-life
- Short (≈2 hours)
- Long with DAC (≈1 week), short without DAC
- Dosing
- Frequent, pulsed injections
- Less frequent with DAC; more with no DAC
- Best for
- Fat loss, recovery, short bursts of GH
- Muscle growth, anti-aging, sustained GH
- Common use
- Often stacked with CJC-1295
- Effective solo or in a stack
- So, think of Ipamorelin as the “on-demand” option for quick bursts of growth hormone release, while CJC-1295 is the “steady state” option that keeps levels elevated longer.
