How it works: GHRH receptor agonism (CJC-1295): binds pituitary somatotrophs via the GHRH receptor, amplifying baseline GH pulse amplitude and duration over the course of days due to albumin binding Ghrelin receptor agonism (Ipamorelin): activates GHS-R1a with an earlier onset and more immediate GH secretion spike compared to GHRH analogs, providing a complementary time profile Sequential synergy: the two peptides act on distinct receptor systems and exhibit a combined GH output greater than either alone, with ipamorelin providing the acute peak and CJC-1295 sustaining elevated trough levels IGF-1 elevation: downstream GH signaling raises circulating IGF-1, the primary mediator of tissue repair, protein synthesis, and connective tissue remodeling
