CJC-1295 (no DAC): Mimics natural growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), transiently stimulating the pituitary gland to release GH (short half-life, requiring multiple daily injections).
Ipamorelin (IPA): Stimulates GH secretion via the ghrelin receptor pathway, without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels, offering a higher safety profile
Elevated GH and IGF-1 levels enhance amino acid uptake in muscle cells, reducing catabolism (muscle breakdown).
It also promotes cartilage repair and increases bone mineral density (particularly beneficial for middle-aged/older adults or sports injury recovery).
