CJC-1295

CJC-1295 is a powerful growth hormone-releasing peptide that stimulates the natural production of growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1, supporting muscle growth, fat loss, and cellular repair. Unlike synthetic GH, CJC-1295 promotes a more natural and sustained hormonal response, improving sleep, recovery, skin elasticity, and overall vitality. It enhances metabolism, boosts energy, and supports anti-aging by promoting tissue regeneration and lean body composition. Often used in combination with Ipamorelin for synergistic effects, CJC-1295 is a favorite among those seeking optimized performance, recovery, and long-term wellness without extreme side effects. Its long half-life allows for convenient, infrequent dosing with consistent benefits.

Injection site irritation (redness, swelling, itching)
Water retention or mild bloating
Flushing or warmth shortly after injection
Fatigue or lethargy, especially early in use
Headaches

Less Common:

Tingling or numbness (from elevated GH/IGF-1 levels)
Nausea or dizziness
Increased hunger
Mild joint pain or stiffness

Rare but Possible:

Gynecomastia (hormonal imbalance-related, rare at proper doses)
Insulin resistance with prolonged or high-dose use
Mood changes (irritability, anxiety – uncommon)

Important Notes:

Most side effects are dose-dependent and improve with adjustment.
Should be used under medical supervision, especially for long-term use.
Combining with Ipamorelin often reduces unwanted side effects due to its gentler profile.
