Clinical Overview

CJC-1295 (a long-acting GHRH analog, DAC-modified) and Ipamorelin (a selective GHSR-1a agonist) are co-utilized in endocrine research to amplify physiologic, pulse-based growth hormone (GH) release with downstream IGF-1 signaling. The combination targets complementary receptors within the hypothalamic–pituitary axis to support investigations in tissue remodeling, body-composition regulation, metabolic efficiency, sleep architecture, and neuroendocrine homeostasis, while preserving native feedback dynamics.

Mechanism of Action

CJC-1295 → GHRH-R: Prolonged receptor engagement enhances cAMP-mediated GH synthesis in anterior pituitary somatotrophs.
Ipamorelin → GHSR-1a: Ghrelin-mimetic signaling triggers Ca2+-dependent GH release with high receptor selectivity and minimal off-target endocrine activity (e.g., limited prolactin/cortisol elevation).
Combined effect: Coordinated GH pulse amplitude/frequency→ downstream IGF-1 signaling supporting protein turnover, connective-tissue dynamics, and systemic recovery paradigms in research settings.

Research Applications

Somatotropic axis modulation • Skeletal muscle/connective-tissue models • Energy substrate utilization and lipolysis inquiry • Sleep/circadian GH rhythm characterization • Exploratory studies of age-associated endocrine decline and recovery kinetics.

Purity & Quality Assurance

Revitalized Health peptides are produced under cGMP-aligned conditions using pharmaceutical-grade inputs. Each lot is confirmed at ≥99% purity via HPLC with LC-MS/MS identity, and is assessed for appearance, solubility, and microbial quality; endotoxin limits are monitored to research-grade specifications. Certificates of Analysis are issued for every batch to document traceability and analytical results.

Storage & Stability

Store lyophilized vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, maintain at 2–8 °C and utilize within 20 days. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to preserve peptide integrity and receptor-binding fidelity.

Mechanism & Testing

Identity: Ipamorelin, selective ghrelin receptor (GHSR-1a) agonist with minimal prolactin/cortisol effects vs. first-gen GHSs.
Mode: Triggers GH release via hypothalamic/pituitary GHSR with low endocrine “noise,” complementing GHRH-pathway agents; supports pulsatile GH without large IGF-1 spikes alone—pairs well with GHRH analogs.
Analytics: HPLC/LC-MS identity/purity; sterility/endotoxin where applicable; stability. PD: GH secretory profiles, IGF-1, sleep metrics, recovery surveys. Monitoring: ISR, transient hunger/lightheadedness in sensitive users.

Stack Rationale

CJC-1295 (DAC) + Ipamorelin: dual-axis GH support—GHRH receptor stimulation (CJC) increases pulse amplitude and IGF-1 tone, while GHSR agonism (Ipamorelin) increases pulse frequency with a clean endocrine profile. This pairing seeks more physiologic GH pulsatility with complementary PK (longer-acting CJC + shorter-acting Ipamorelin). Educational content; not medical advice.
