Ipamorelin vs. CJC-1295 (No DAC)
| Attribute | Ipamorelin | CJC-1295 (No DAC) |
|---|---|---|
| Class | GHRP (ghrelin mimetic) | GHRH analog (growth hormone-releasing hormone) |
| Mechanism | Triggers GH pulse via pituitary | Amplifies GH pulse amplitude |
| Stacked Together | Industry gold-standard combination | Industry gold-standard combination |
| Half-Life | ~2 hours | ~30 minutes |
| Solo Effectiveness | Moderate GH pulse alone | Moderate amplitude increase alone |
Verdict: Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 (No DAC) is the most widely used GH optimization stack in current protocols. They are complementary, not competing: GHRP initiates the pulse, GHRH amplifies it.
