Peptides are short-chain amino acids found naturally in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and these particular amino acids are designed to augment specific functions within the human body. Therapy with peptides uses those sequences already present to regulate and rejuvenate functions. Basically, they bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing or mimicking the functions of naturally occurring peptides. Peptides have the capability to rewrite body chemistry relationships to promote restoration, anabolism, and homeostasis.
WHAT IS CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is an incredibly effective peptide which works by stimulating the release of your own body’s growth hormones (which drop quickly after the age of 30). Research has shown that CJC-1295 can increase growth hormone levels by 200-1000% and the elevated growth hormone production continued for up to 6 days.
WHAT IS IPAMORELIN?
Ipamorelin acts in a completely different way than CJC-1295 by mimicking ghrelin. This is an important distinction between both peptides because Ghrelin is responsible for initiating the breakdown of fat for use as energy as well as preventing the breakdown of muscles. Ipamorelin is cleared from the body more rapidly as its half-life is only about 2 hours.
WHY COMBINE CJC-1295 AND IPAMORELIN?
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are combined in therapy because they are known to work very well together. Generally, when combined, we see a 3-5 fold increase in growth hormone release over ipamorelin alone. This will increase the benefits of your peptide therapy over using a single peptide alone.
