CJC-1295 with ipamorelin, the night time pattern
Written by Aaron Cuha
Raise growth hormone for sleep, recovery, and more muscle and less fat
Patterns that get passed around on peptide forums and in sellers' dosing guides. Nobody measured anything properly in any of these. They are listed here as reports, not findings.
Not advice. This is a record of a schedule, not a dose for you.
The schedule, as reported
Each field below is what the source states, not a rounded version of it. Where the source does not publish a detail, the field says so instead of filling the gap.
- Amount
- Usually reported as 100 mcg of each
- How often
- Once at night, often described as five nights on and two off
- How it is taken
- A shot under the skin, usually on an empty stomach
- How long
- Usually described in blocks of eight to twelve weeks
What was measured
Some people check IGF-1, a growth hormone blood marker, before and after. Most check nothing. Sleep, recovery, and muscle and fat are reported by feel. Almost nobody gets a body scan.
What was reported
Reports, not findings. Nothing below came from a fair side-by-side test.
Deeper sleep in the first weeks is the most repeated report, and it is the reason most people say they kept going.
Holding water and tingling or numb hands are the problems mentioned most.
Some people report IGF-1 rising. Often there is no starting number, and the before and after are not always from the same lab.
These are reports, not findings. Everyone knew what they were taking.
Where this comes from
Peptide write-ups and sellers' dosing guides that print this pattern, plus public posts from people taking 100 mcg of each before bed five nights a week. People usually say the pattern comes from r/Peptides on Reddit.
Reddit blocks automated reading, so those threads could not be read for this entry. Nothing is claimed about how widespread the pattern is. The amounts are the ones that get passed around.
There is no original record to link. That is the finding, not a gap: this pattern has no study, no public registry entry and no published report behind it.
What this protocol cannot tell you
Required on every entry in this registry, and never empty.
Both halves push the same growth hormone system, so nothing here can tell you which one did anything. The pair has never been tested as a pair in a study. Most of what is sold as CJC-1295 without DAC is really mod GRF 1-29, so the name on the vial may not match what is inside. A rise in IGF-1 is just a blood number. It says the system responded, not that anything you wanted happened to your body. Nobody here measured muscle and fat with a scan, everyone knew what they were taking, and sleeping better in the first weeks of anything new is the oldest trap there is.
The compounds in this protocol
Each profile has the full evidence record, the legal status and what the studies did not show.
- CJC-1295Limited. People have taken it in a published study, but fewer than 100 of them. 2 completed trials, none stating how many people.9 reported
A lab-made copy of the body's growth hormone releasing signal, built to last longer. It keeps growth hormone and IGF-1 raised for days.
- IpamorelinModerate. At least one finished study in people, and at least 100 people who took it. 2 completed trials, 157 people given it.9 reported
A peptide that tells the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in natural bursts. It barely touches cortisol, the stress hormone, or prolactin.
