Recover, rebuild and sleep like you used to.

The research
What CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is being studied for
Studies show these peptides can raise growth hormone and IGF-1 levels, but long-term outcome data in healthy adults is limited. Your provider may check labs before and during treatment.
Lean muscle and body composition
Studied for helping maintain lean muscle and reduce body fat by raising growth hormone and IGF-1 levels.
Recovery
Growth hormone plays a role in tissue repair, so the blend is being studied for recovery from training.
Sleep quality
Growth hormone is released during deep sleep, and some people report deeper sleep.
What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?
What it is
CJC-1295 is a growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue. Together they signal the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in its natural pulses, rather than replacing it.
How it’s taken
Injection, as prescribed by your provider. Your provider will explain the schedule and how to use it safely.
Is this the same as taking growth hormone?
No. The blend encourages your body to release its own growth hormone rather than supplying it directly.
Is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin FDA-approved?
No. Ivím prescribes it as a compounded medication prepared by a licensed pharmacy, where federal and state rules allow.
