CJC-1295 with ipamorelin, the night time pattern
Raise growth hormone output for sleep, recovery and body composition
Patterns that circulate on peptide forums and in vendor dosing guides. Nobody measured anything systematically in any of these, and they are recorded here as reports rather than 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
- Commonly reported as 100 mcg of each
- Frequency
- Once at night, frequently described as five nights on and two off
- Route
- Subcutaneous injection, usually on an empty stomach
- Duration
- Commonly described in blocks of eight to twelve weeks
What was measured
Some people check IGF-1 before and after. Most check nothing. Sleep quality, recovery and body composition are reported by feel, and body composition is almost never scanned.
What was reported
Reports, not findings. Nothing below was produced by a controlled comparison.
Deeper sleep in the first weeks is the most repeated report, and it is the effect most people say they stayed for.
Water retention and tingling or numb hands are the problems mentioned most often.
Some people report IGF-1 rising. Frequently there is no baseline value, and the before and after are not always from the same laboratory.
These are reports, not findings. Nobody in this pattern was blinded to anything.
Where this comes from
Peptide write-ups and vendor dosing guides that print this pattern, along with individual public accounts of running 100 mcg of each before bed five nights a week. The pattern is usually attributed to r/Peptides.
Reddit blocks automated retrieval, so those threads could not be read for this entry and nothing is claimed here about how widespread the pattern is. The amounts are recorded as the amounts that circulate.
There is no primary record to link. That is the finding, not an omission: this pattern has no trial, no registration 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 axis, so nothing about this pattern can tell you which one did anything, and the pair has never been run as a pair in a trial. Most material sold as CJC-1295 without DAC is mod GRF 1-29, so the name on the vial may not be the molecule inside it. A rise in IGF-1 is a surrogate: it says the axis moved, not that anything you wanted happened to your body. Nobody here measured body composition with a scan, nobody was blinded, and sleep improving in the first weeks of anything new is the oldest confound there is.
The compounds in this protocol
Each profile carries the full evidence record, the legal status and what the trials did not show.
- CJC-1295
A modified GHRH analogue engineered for an extended half-life, promoting sustained growth hormone and IGF-1 release.
- Ipamorelin
A selective growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist that stimulates pulsatile GH release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin.
