What It Is
CJC-12955ML

Mechanism of Action

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) designed to stimulate endogenous growth hormone release. Its main target is the Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Receptor on pituitary somatotroph cells. Ipamorelin is a selective ghrelin receptor agonist that stimulates GH release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin.

Used in combination, CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin produce synergistic GH pulsatility through complementary mechanisms, supporting anabolic effects, body composition, and recovery. Individual outcomes may differ. This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Candidate Profile

Who It's Designed For

Your physician will determine eligibility based on your complete health intake. The following profiles are commonly associated with CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin protocol candidates in clinical practice:

GH Optimization

Individuals with confirmed or suspected GH decline seeking physician-supervised secretagogue therapy.

Body Composition

Individuals pursuing physician-reviewed lean mass and fat metabolism support.

Recovery & Sleep

High-output individuals seeking GH-mediated recovery and sleep architecture support.

Longevity Protocol

Individuals with existing longevity protocols adding physician-reviewed GH secretagogue therapy.

Determine your candidacy

A physician will review your intake and make eligibility determination within 24–48 hours.

FAQ

Common Questions

This compound is not FDA-approved as a drug. It is dispensed as a compounded medication through licensed 503A compounding pharmacies operating under FDA guidelines. All Verum Health protocols require a valid physician prescription.
After completing your HIPAA-secure health intake, a physician or NP will review your medical history, current medications, goals, and contraindications. If you're a candidate, a virtual consultation is scheduled — typically 15–20 minutes. Turnaround is 24–48 hours from intake submission.
Protocol stacking is reviewed on a case-by-case basis during your physician consultation. Any combination protocol is evaluated for safety and clinical appropriateness. Do not combine protocols without explicit physician guidance.
Reorders are managed through your patient portal. A follow-up physician check-in is required at protocol completion before continuation is authorized. Reorder notification is sent 10 days before your protocol completes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin do?

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin stimulates your pituitary to release growth hormone naturally. Benefits include improved body composition, better sleep, enhanced recovery, increased energy, and anti-aging effects.

When should I inject CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin?

The optimal time is 30-60 minutes before bed, aligning with your body's natural growth hormone secretion during deep sleep.

How long is a CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin cycle?

A standard cycle is 8-16 weeks. Results build gradually — subtle improvements in weeks 1-4 and significant changes by months 3-6.

Is CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin safe long-term?

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin works through your body's natural feedback mechanisms, making it safer for long-term use than synthetic HGH. Physician monitoring is recommended.
