Which should you choose? Here's what you need to know.
Ipamorelin alone gives a clean GH pulse. Adding CJC-1295 extends and amplifies that pulse by stimulating GH release through a second pathway.
The CJC-1295/Ipamorelin combo pairs a GHRH analog with a ghrelin-receptor agonist. The dual mechanism produces larger, longer GH pulses than either peptide alone, making it the most popular GH stack.
Choose CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin if:
You want maximum GH output and don't mind the complexity and cost of a two-peptide stack.
Ipamorelin on its own is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that produces clean GH pulses without affecting cortisol, prolactin, or appetite. It's simpler, cheaper, and sufficient for many users.
Choose Ipamorelin if:
You want a simpler, more affordable option and are happy with a moderate GH boost — or you're just starting out with GH peptides.
Once you've decided which peptide fits your needs, here's how they compare on price and vendor options.
Our top-rated vendor for each, based on trust scores, purity testing, and price.
We re-check vendor prices continuously and score vendors on Finnrick blind-test results — samples bought anonymously and sent to a lab, not vendor claims. No vendor can pay to rank higher. See our full methodology.
