CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin Peptide Blend
Ipamorelin is a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue that has been extensively studied in the diverse biological milieu. It is considered by researchers to be one of the most selective secretagogues and is an apparent agonist of the growth hormone/ghrelin secretagogue receptor.[1] This potential selectivity is attributed to the fact that Ipamorelin does not appear, in any way, to affect the secretion of other pituitary hormones. These include prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Ipamorelin appears to act via the molecular mimicry of the natural hormone ghrelin, which triggers and stimulates the release of the growth hormone.[2] This whole process may be regulated by a negative feedback mechanism, which may nullify any ancillary impacts of excess GH production. Researchers suggest that Ipamorelin may impact all physiological processes in which ghrelin is active. Based on their observations, researchers have suggested that Ipamorelin may improve bowel movement and gastric function, enhancing the development and repair of muscles, facilitating the release of insulin hormone from the pancreas, and stimulating the growth of bones. In addition to these potentials, Ipamorelin may also be involved in cellular repair and increased collagen production.[3] It has also been hypothesized that the peptide may act to improve cognitive function and sleep cycle regulation.
CJC-1295 (Mod GRF 1-29) is a synthetic analog of a naturally-occurring peptide hormone, somatocrinin. It is also suggested by researchers to potentially promote the release of GH via stimulation of the growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor.[4] They mainly suggest the peptide to induce secretion of the growth hormone in a pulsatile manner. Since this process also appears to be regulated via a negative feedback mechanism, the ancillary impacts typically associated with excessive growth hormone production appear to be avoided. The peptide has also been associated with high selectivity and a potential supportive influence on the development and growth of muscles, lean body mass, bone function, and insulin resistance.[5] Alba et al. reports that “mice [exposed] every 48 and 72h reached higher body weight and length than placebo … animals.” It is suggested to be involved in cellular repair and regeneration processes as well. More specifically, the researchers share that they conducted an additional investigation into the potential of CJC-1295 on a murine model of GHRH gene ablation (GHRHKO) and related growth decline. It was hypothesized that the CJC-1295 group displayed apparently normal body weight and length, which potentially indicates a positive growth response. When evaluating the possible impact of CJC-1295 on bone length and body composition, the femur and tibia length appeared to remain within normal ranges, as well as lean mass and subcutaneous fat mass. Further analysis revealed that CJC-1295 influence potentially led to an increase in total pituitary RNA and GH mRNA levels. This may possibly suggest that the introduction of the peptide may have caused a proliferation of somatotroph cells, which are the natural cells with GH-producing potential in the pituitary gland. The hypothetical presence of these proliferating cells was suggested through immunohistochemistry images. CJC-1295 has also been suggested to support the immune system and cognitive function. Research on animal systems has indicated that combinatorial introduction of CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin blend appear to influence the growth hormone axis through two different pathways.

CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin Blend Research
Ipamorelin Peptide and The Digestive System
Ipamorelin appears to exert a positive action on gastric function by its possible activation of the ghrelin receptors. In one study, the researchers investigated the potential mechanisms involved in the acceleration of gastric emptying by Ipamorelin. Gastric emptying was measured by determining the percentage of total recovered radioactivity remaining in the stomach 15 minutes after intragastric gavage of a specific substance. The scientists commented that abdominal surgery may have caused a delay in gastric emptying, with a notable amount of the meal remaining in the stomach in the vehicle control group. However, Ipamorelin appeared to cause a significant acceleration of gastric emptying compared to the vehicle control group. This suggests that Ipamorelin may have the potential to speed up the process of gastric emptying. The researchers then assessed the potential action of Ipamorelin on the contractility of gastric smooth muscle induced by acetylcholine and electrical field stimulation. The results suggested that abdominal surgery and intestinal manipulation may lead to a marked inhibition of the contractile responses of gastric smooth muscle to acetylcholine and electrical field stimulation. However, this inhibition may have been reversed when Ipamorelin and ghrelin were co-presented. This suggests that Ipamorelin may stimulate gastric contractility and may potentially reverse the inhibitory action caused by the procedures.[6] As a consequence of its potential in digestive functioning, the peptide was hypothesized to increase appetite and weight gain. According to one study, Ipamorelin may have induced an apparent increase, by approximately 15%, in body weight of the research models. It is hypothesized that Ipamorelin potentially increased the weights of fat pads in relation to body weight, which appeared to lead to an increase in relative body fat as quantified by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Additionally, Ipamorelin appeared to potentially increase the levels of serum leptin, a hormone believed to be involved in regulating energy balance and appetite. Therefore, the researchers posited that food intake may have been increased in the Ipamorelin groups.[7]
CJC-1295 Peptide and the Pituitary Gland
CJC-1295 appears to target the GHRH receptor of pituitary cells, potentially interacting with specific binding sites on the receptor protein. This interaction may lead to changes in the receptor’s structure, initiating a series of molecular events that may activate signal transduction pathways within the target cells. The binding-induced conformational changes may facilitate the activation of G-proteins, which are signaling proteins hypothesized to be found on the intracellular side of the GHRH receptor.[8] Once activated, these G-proteins may stimulate the production of second messengers like cAMP or IP3, which appear to act as secondary signaling molecules, potentially further propagating the signal within the cell. These second messengers, particularly cAMP, may activate protein kinases, enzymes considered responsible for phosphorylating target proteins.[9] Protein kinases appear to play a role in regulating various cellular processes. The activation of protein kinases may lead to the phosphorylation of transcription factors, which are proteins supporting gene expression. Phosphorylated transcription factors may enter the nucleus and potentially modulate the transcription of specific genes that have been associated with growth hormone synthesis and secretion. Overall, the molecular events triggered by the binding of CJC-1295 may result in the fusion of secretory vesicles containing growth hormone with the plasma membrane. This fusion may enable the release of growth hormone outside the pituitary cells, possibly allowing it to exert biological action.[10]
CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin Blend
Ipamorelin appears to work by increasing the basal expression of GH. CJC-1295 may then act upon the higher basal levels of GH to potentially improve the threshold for both high and low GH levels while maintaining the hormone expression cycle. CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin blend may positively influence the body by improving lean body mass, better utilization of insulin, superior muscle development, and overall improved metabolic capabilities. This is suggested by the positive nitrogen balance reported in some studies. In one study, researchers aimed to examine the metabolic potential of Ipamorelin on specific hepatic indicators of alpha-amino-nitrogen conversion during catabolism induced by steroids. The researchers assessed the hepatic capacity for synthesizing urea-N (CUNS), which is a potential indicator of nitrogen metabolism in the liver. They measured the apparent levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) associated with urea cycle enzymes in the liver, evaluated the overall nitrogen balance, and hypothesized the nitrogen contents of various organs. It is suggested that Ipamorelin possibly resulted in a 20% reduction in CUNS when compared to the catabolic state induced by steroids. Additionally, it may have potentially lowered the expression of urea cycle enzymes, restored nitrogen balance, and hypothetically normalized or improved the nitrogen contents in organs.[11] Finally, since these peptides appear to have slightly different pharmacokinetics, their combinational action may have strong impacts. CJC-1295 (when with DAC) appears to possess a longer half-life of about 6-8 days, which would mean a sustained increase in growth hormone levels. Having an apparent shorter half-life, Ipamorelin is likely to produce quick action and be cleared rapidly from the blood. Therefore, the two peptides may be used to provide a rapid onset of action with Ipamorelin and prolonged effects with CJC-1295.

There seemed to be a glicth in the system when I was trying to place my order. It kept redirecting to an error page. I had to email a representative and they explained the site was having some issues today. They offered to take the order over email which was nice, but I decided to wait till the next day when everything was up and running to put in an order. It seemed to be a one day problem and order went smooth the next day anyway.

Adnan Syed –
Packaging was good enough for me. Came in okay, no visible damage and the heat seems to not have effected the products either.
Sina Abedi –
Been with Biotech for over a year now and am very satisfied with their service and their products.I had some questions on how best to store them and also wanted to know how recently they were taken out from the freezer. They were able to get all those questions answered after some intense digging on their part.
Amandip Bangar –
Nice variety of peptides they have here! In the past few months I’ve been purchasing with them I’ve never ran into a moment where the peptide was sold out. Prices are pretty good for the market right now.
Jay McCreary –
Shelf life is great with this blend. Just have to follow the directions, not hard at all.
Peter Ju –
Got some free Bac water! Thanks!!

Taylor is great help. Helped me when I had a few question on thie blend and others. They even set me up with a 10% off code since I was such a frequent customer.
Miguel Betancourt –
Biotech peptides are the best in the game right now. I researched a ton to find somewhere that had high quality peptides for a price that would not break the bank. Took a while but finally found a place that suited that perfectly.
Erick Corona –
Prices are great. Really reasonable compared to some other places. I do think the sale prices are not the best but I’ll take it.
Austin Sugai –
Excited to get my order! Ordered them this morning and already got a confirmation that it’s on the way!

Have referred them to many of my peers.I have never been disappointed with the products I have received. They work well and are cost efficient. nicely priced in this terrible market right now.
Binh Ngo –
Comes as advertised. Vials are smaller than I imagined however.
Andrew Mapps –
My peptides came in ruined and not usable due to a delay in shipping AND the heat. E-mailed their customer service and surprisingly got a call back from Jamie. They let me know they can either rush me my order or give me a full refund and I went with a refund.
Robert Mills –
Love Biotech and their service, best trained employees in the peptide business! I feel like they know about the company and the products and can actually help you unlike some other places where they know nothing!!
Jacob Glasgo –
Blog is neat! Very informative
Jay Martinez –
Highly recommend them for any peptide research
Adam Saunders –
Blend is the best I have found out there!I have shopped a few other places and their blend just didn’t work properly. Always something wrong or skewed my research in some way.I also like their return policy’s, they keep to their word.
Ash Romeo –
Shelf life is great with this blend!
Nick Churbock –
Had an issue with my card payment. Got a call from Taylor explaining what was going on and they were able to just get a new card from me. Other places would have just canceled the order, they however reached out!
Joel Upton –
My favorite peptide spot. Always have this blend in stock.
Zach Nguyen –
Best one on the market!I have been working with peptides for a while now and have encountered many different types of Peptides throughout the years. Some claim to be pure, some claimed to be the best quality ever but all were a dud. Biotech’s are really what they advertise and I can say i was pleasantly surprised.
Ethan Legge –
Price is great! Very reasonable.
Tyler Goertz –
My lab only likes to use peptides from Biotech! They are pure and consistent with purity but also get delivered the fastest and safely!
Don Devlin –
Incredible peptides! Wish I had discovered them much earlier than now.
Sam Redus –
Nice doing business with them!
Jasper Ortiz –
Great payment options, I think they used to take Apple pay but don’t anymore. Found that the most handy personally but maybe they’ll bring that option back one day!
Brandyn SantaMaria –
I’ve received great response to emails and fast processing to shipping times from this company.. love that !
NICHOLAS Alex –
This company is the best hands down. Quality products and most importantly quality customer service. The offer zelle payments that is trusted and they answered my emails within 5-10 minutes of sending. I was in constant contact with them through the shipping process and even more details about my product. Taylor is a real MVP with answering all of my questions. 10/10 recommend!!
