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.
