Stack Overview
The CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin stack is the most commonly used starting protocol for growth hormone optimization. CJC-1295 primes the pituitary and amplifies GH pulse amplitude while Ipamorelin triggers selective GH release — together producing a 3–5× baseline GH pulse that closely mimics a healthy 25-year-old's secretion pattern.
Adding IGF-1 LR3 during active training phases takes this to another level by directly signaling muscle cell proliferation and hypertrophy downstream of GH — activating both GH-dependent recovery and direct anabolic pathways simultaneously.
Peptides in This Stack
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 is the most popular GH secretagogue combination. Ipamorelin triggers GH pulses while CJC-1295 amplifies and extends them for superior muscle growth and fat loss.
Dose
200mcg each
Timing
Before sleep (fasted), optional second dose pre-workout
Notes
Mix both peptides in same syringe — identical injection site
IGF-1 LR3
IGF-1 LR3 is a modified form of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 with 13× longer half-life. It directly signals muscle cell proliferation and hypertrophy — the downstream anabolic effector of GH.
Dose
40–60mcg
Timing
Post-workout (4–6 week cycles only)
Notes
Add during active training phases — cycle 4 weeks on / 4 weeks off
Daily Schedule
Protocol Schedule
Daily (Year-Round): • Before sleep: CJC-1295 200mcg + Ipamorelin 200mcg (fasted, 2+ hrs after last meal) • Optional: Second injection 30 min before morning training Training Phase Add-On (4–6 week cycles): • Post-workout: IGF-1 LR3 40–60mcg within 30 min of training • Rest weeks: Skip IGF-1 LR3, continue CJC/Ipamorelin
Expected Results
Dramatically improved deep sleep quality within 1–2 weeks
Noticeable increases in recovery speed and reduced DOMS by week 3–4
Visible body composition improvements (fat loss + muscle) by week 8–12
Enhanced anabolic response to training when IGF-1 LR3 cycles are active
