CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
Also known as: CJC + Ipa · GH stack
The classic growth-hormone stack — pairing a GHRH analog (CJC-1295) with a selective GH-releasing peptide (Ipamorelin) to support the body’s own GH pulse.

What is the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin stack?
This is the classic growth-hormone (GH) stack: CJC-1295, a GHRH analog, paired with Ipamorelin, a selective GH-releasing peptide. Rather than introducing GH directly, the combination is designed to prompt the body’s own pituitary to release more of its natural GH.
Why the two are combined
They act on two different levers of the same system. CJC-1295 increases the amount of GH the pituitary can release, while Ipamorelin triggers a clean pulse of that release through the ghrelin receptor. Used together they are thought to be synergistic — a larger, well-timed pulse than either produces alone. The effects (sleep, recovery, body composition) are slow and cumulative.

These are research peptides not approved for general human use. Nothing here is a recommendation or dose. Consult a qualified healthcare provider and follow the laws in your area.
How to run and track the GH stack
GH secretagogues are timing-sensitive — many run this stack at night to align with the natural overnight GH pulse. Log the dose and the time of day, and let objective metrics accumulate: sleep duration, HRV, and weight from Apple Health. The relationship only shows up as a multi-week trend. See our guide on timing and frequency for why the clock matters here.

Timing matters — this stack is commonly dosed at night. Log the dose and time, then watch sleep, HRV, and body-composition trends from Apple Health build over weeks.
