This is a common growth hormone–releasing peptide (GHRP/GHRH) stack designed to increase your body’s natural growth hormone (GH) pulses.
It combines two different mechanisms:
•CJC-1295 (No DAC) – a short-acting analog of GHRH (growth hormone–releasing hormone).
•Ipamorelin – a selective ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a) agonist.
Together, they stimulate the pituitary to release more GH than either alone.

What It Does in the Body
Increases Growth Hormone Pulses
•CJC-1295 stimulates the GHRH receptor
•Ipamorelin stimulates the ghrelin receptor
•The combo amplifies natural GH release
•Leads to increased IGF-1 production from the liver
This mimics the body’s normal rhythm better than synthetic GH injections.
⸻
Body Composition Effects (Indirect via GH)
May support:
•Increased lean muscle mass
•Improved recovery
•Fat metabolism
•Better sleep quality
•Collagen production (skin/joints)
Results vary by age, baseline GH levels, diet, and training.
⸻
Sleep Support
GH is released mostly during deep sleep. Many users report:
•Deeper sleep
•More vivid dreams
•Improved recovery overnight
⸻
Minimal Appetite Stimulation
Unlike GHRP-6 or Hexarelin, Ipamorelin:
•Causes little to no increase in cortisol
•Causes little to no increase in prolactin
•Has minimal appetite stimulation
That’s why it’s often preferred.
•No DAC = short acting (about 30–60 min active window)
•With DAC = long acting (about 1 week half-life)
No DAC is often used 1–2 times daily to mimic natural pulses.
CJC-1295 (No DAC) + Ipamorelin:
Encourages your body to release more of its own growth hormone.
Which may help with:
•Recovery
•Lean mass
•Fat loss
•Sleep
