What it is
›
CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin is the classic growth-hormone combo for sleep, recovery, and body composition.
• Best for: better sleep, recovery, and lean body composition
• Why combine: CJC raises baseline GH, Ipamorelin adds clean pulses
• Reputation: the go-to beginner GH stack
How it works
›
The two are secretagogues, meaning they nudge your body to release its own growth hormone.
• CJC-1295: lifts overall GH output (a GHRH analog)
• Ipamorelin: triggers a clean GH pulse with few side effects
• Together: more GH than either alone, dosed at night
Dosing and mixing
›
Reference tiers only. Track the dose you are already taking.
Low
100 mcg of each, nightly
FOR Gentle sleep and recovery, or beginners
BENEFIT Often picked as the lower-exposure tier in sleep and GH discussions
Standard
200 to 300 mcg of each, nightly
FOR Recovery and body comp for most (5 on, 2 off)
BENEFIT The range most often cited for paired nightly use
High
300 mcg of each, 2 to 3x daily
FOR Aggressive goals, experienced users
BENEFIT A higher-frequency tier, with more flushing and water retention reported
Schedule: Inject before bed on an empty stomach, wait 20 minutes to eat. 5 on, 2 off.
Beginner ramp: 300 mcg per shot is the ceiling, add pulses to go higher, not bigger shots.
Mixing (reconstitution)
BAC water is bacteriostatic water, the sterile water you mix in.
A 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water is a common starting point.

How to take it
›
Inject under the skin at night, on an empty stomach.
• Before bed matches your natural GH cycle
• Empty stomach, wait about 20 minutes to eat
• Refrigerate the mixed vial between doses
What to expect
›
Week 1
Deeper, more vivid sleep is usually the first sign.
Weeks 2 to 4
Better recovery and morning energy.
Weeks 4 to 12
Body-composition changes build slowly.
Keep in mind
GH peptides work with sleep and training, not instead of them.
Side effects
›
Commonly reported
• Flushing shortly after use
• Water retention
• Vivid dreams
• Tingling in the hands
See a clinician if
• Numbness or tingling that persists
• Ongoing joint swelling
Storage
›
Keep it cold, before and after mixing.
• Powder: refrigerate
• After mixing: fridge, use within about 4 weeks
• Do not freeze, keep out of light
Common stacks
›
• CJC-1295/Ipamorelin + a GLP-1: people pair these when muscle retention is a concern during GLP-1 use
• CJC-1295/Ipamorelin + BPC-157: people pair these when both GH and recovery research are relevant

GH secretagogue studies
Raise natural GH and IGF-1 in pulses, unlike injected HGH.
Practical note
Most benefit shows up as sleep and recovery before body composition.
