What is CJC 1295?

CJC 1295 is a synthetic peptide known for its ability to significantly increase plasma growth hormone levels and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) without significantly affecting prolactin or cortisol levels. It functions by mimicking the action of a natural hormone, GHRH (Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone), enhancing the body's natural growth hormone secretion. The extended half-life of CJC 1295, compared to native GHRH, makes it a potent candidate for promoting lean body mass, reducing body fat, and improving cellular repair and regeneration – key aspects often compromised in the aging process.

The therapeutic potential of CJC 1295 extends beyond simple growth hormone replacement; it includes potential benefits like improved protein synthesis, enhanced immune function, and increased bone density, all of which are crucial for maintaining health with advancing age. Ongoing research is exploring the broader implications of sustained growth hormone levels, including possible improvements in sleep quality, energy levels, and overall quality of life, making CJC 1295 a subject of interest in anti-aging therapies.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) plays a key role in growth, body composition, cell repair, and metabolism. The interest in HGH as an anti-aging treatment stems from its potential to improve physical capacity, decrease body fat, and increase muscle mass. However, the use of HGH for anti-aging purposes remains controversial due to potential side effects and the need for further research to fully understand its impact on longevity.

Ipamorelin

Ipamorelin, another peptide with growth hormone-releasing properties, is garnering attention for its selective action and minimal side effects. It stimulates the release of growth hormone in a way that mimics natural patterns, potentially leading to benefits in muscle strength, body composition, and recovery processes without significantly affecting cortisol and prolactin levels, making it a candidate for safe anti-aging therapies.
