CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin Dosage Guide for Research

Dosing — 2026-10-20

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is one of the most-studied peptide combinations in growth-hormone research, and the co-formulated 10mg vial (5mg + 5mg) makes it convenient to run. This guide covers how the blend is dosed, the reconstitution math, and why timing matters for this particular pairing.

Why These Two Peptides Are Paired

The blend combines two complementary mechanisms:

• CJC-1295 (no DAC) — a GHRH analog that stimulates growth-hormone release. The "no DAC" version has a shorter half-life, producing a more pulsatile signal.
• Ipamorelin — a selective GHRP that triggers GH release through a separate receptor and is prized in research for its selectivity (minimal effect on cortisol or other hormones)

Because they act on two different pathways, the combination is studied for a synergistic GH-release response that either peptide alone doesn't produce.

The 10mg (5+5) Vial

The Platinum Biolabs vial is co-formulated: 5mg CJC-1295 + 5mg Ipamorelin in a single 10mg vial. That means one reconstitution and one draw delivers both peptides in a 1:1 ratio — no mixing two vials.

Reconstitution Math

A common approach:

• Add 2mL bacteriostatic water to the 10mg vial → 5mg/mL total blend (2.5mg/mL CJC + 2.5mg/mL Ipamorelin)
• On a U-100 insulin syringe, 10 units (0.1mL) draws 0.5mg total blend (0.25mg of each)

Always confirm your own concentration against the water volume you add.

Timing Is the Key Variable

The no-DAC blend's short half-life means timing matters more than with longer-acting compounds. Research protocols typically emphasize:

• Dosing on an empty stomach — elevated blood glucose and food can blunt the GH pulse
• Spacing from meals — a window before or after eating is standard in the literature
• Consistent daily timing — often tied to the body's natural GH rhythm

Research Best Practices

• Titrate conservatively and hold before stepping up
• Keep reconstitution consistent so every data point is comparable
• Refrigerate the reconstituted vial; never freeze
• Verify the batch against a COA

Bottom Line

The co-formulated CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin vial pairs a GHRH analog with a selective GHRP in one 1:1 blend, dosed off a single reconstitution. For this short-half-life combination, consistent empty-stomach timing is as important as the dose itself.
