GH Optimization Protocol

Maximize natural growth hormone output using the synergistic GHRH + GHRP combination. CJC-1295 (no DAC) and Ipamorelin work on separate receptor pathways to amplify GH pulses 2-3x beyond either alone.

Weekly Schedule

Daily injections. Best results on an empty stomach (no food 1hr before/after). Before-bed dose is most important for sleep-time GH pulse.

Notes & Tips

  • Combine CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin in the same syringe for convenience
  • Administer on an empty stomach for maximum GH release
  • The before-bed dose is the most important — amplifies the natural nocturnal GH surge
  • Fat and carbs blunt GH release — avoid eating 1 hour before/after injection
  • Take 4-8 weeks off between cycles to prevent desensitization

Warnings

  • Monitor for water retention, joint stiffness, or carpal tunnel symptoms
  • Contraindicated with active malignancy
  • Consult a physician if diabetic — may affect blood glucose
