CJC-1295 / IPAMORELIN/ NO DAC

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin / No DAC

As we age, the pituitary gland produces progressively less growth hormone (GH) — contributing to increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, poor sleep, slower recovery, low energy, and accelerated aging. CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are two complementary peptides that work synergistically to restore your body’s own GH production naturally and safely.

At OC Wellness, we prescribe the No DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) formulation of CJC-1295 — also known as Modified GRF (1-29). This version produces a more natural, pulsatile release of growth hormone that closely mimics your body’s own rhythms, avoiding the prolonged, flat-line GH elevation associated with the DAC version.

HOW THEY WORK

CJC-1295 is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile manner.

Ipamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) — a ghrelin mimetic — that amplifies that GH pulse without significantly increasing cortisol or prolactin (a key advantage over older GHRPs like GHRP-2 or GHRP-6).

Used together, CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin create a synergistic "double stimulus" effect on the pituitary, producing significantly greater GH release than either peptide alone.

Key Benefits

Patients treated with CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin at OC Wellness commonly report:

Increased lean muscle mass
Reduction in body fat, particularly around the midsection
Deeper, more restorative sleep
Faster post-workout recovery
Improved energy and stamina throughout the day
Enhanced mental clarity and focus
Stronger immune function
Improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkles
Greater libido and sexual performance
Stronger connective tissue and joint health

Who Is A Good Candidate?

This protocol is well-suited for adults who are experiencing symptoms of growth hormone deficiency, including:

Fatigue and low energy despite adequate rest
Difficulty losing weight or building muscle despite effort
Poor sleep quality
Reduced physical performance or prolonged recovery time
Signs of accelerated aging (skin laxity, decreased bone density)
General decline in vitality and well-being

Dr. Grossman will evaluate your lab work, symptoms, and history before recommending this therapy.

PROTOCOL & ADMINISTRATION

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin No DAC is administered via small subcutaneous injections, typically once daily before bedtime to align with the body's natural overnight GH release cycle. Some patients use it twice daily depending on their goals. Most protocols run in 3–6 month cycles.

SAFETY PROFILE

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is considered one of the safest growth hormone-stimulating therapies available. Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary water retention, tingling at the injection site, or mild fatigue during the first week of use. It does not suppress natural GH production.
