CJC-1295 5mg + Ipamorelin 5mg User Guide

This guide walks you through getting started with a CJC-1295 5mg + Ipamorelin 5mg blend — reconstituting, dosing, injecting, and storing it. This blend is commonly used in the peptide community for GH-support routines, sleep quality, recovery support, and body-composition-focused protocols.

You can find this product here: CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin.

Each vial contains 5mg of CJC-1295 and 5mg of Ipamorelin for 10mg total peptide blend.

This guide assumes the common daily-use CJC-1295/Ipamorelin blend format, generally treated in the peptide community like CJC-1295 no DAC style dosing. If your vial specifically says with DAC, dosing practices may be different.

RECONSTITUTION (MIXING)

Each bottle contains 10mg total peptide blend in powder form: 5mg CJC-1295 + 5mg Ipamorelin. You need to add liquid before you can use it.

Here’s what to do:

1. Draw up 200 units of reconstitution solution (that’s 2mL — four full insulin syringes worth, 50 units each).
2. Inject the solution slowly into the bottle. Aim the stream at the glass wall, not directly onto the powder.
3. Swirl gently. Don’t shake it. Let it dissolve — may take a minute or two.

That’s it. You now have a bottle where every 1 unit on the syringe = 0.05mg (50mcg) total blend. Since this is a 1:1 blend, that means:

1 unit = 25mcg CJC-1295 + 25mcg Ipamorelin

Units on syringe	Total blend dose	CJC-1295 dose	Ipamorelin dose
4 units	0.20mg (200mcg)	100mcg	100mcg
6 units	0.30mg (300mcg)	150mcg	150mcg
8 units	0.40mg (400mcg)	200mcg	200mcg
10 units	0.50mg (500mcg)	250mcg	250mcg
12 units	0.60mg (600mcg)	300mcg	300mcg

DOSING SCHEDULE

Most community protocols for this blend use it before bed, on an empty stomach. Bedtime is popular because growth hormone pulses naturally happen during sleep, and some people feel relaxed or sleepy after dosing.

Simple Starting Protocol

• First week: 4 units before bed, 5 nights per week.
• If tolerated: move up to 8 units before bed, 5 nights per week.
• Run for 8–12 weeks, then stop and reassess.

At 8 units, you’re taking:

• 400mcg total blend
• 200mcg CJC-1295
• 200mcg Ipamorelin

Lower-Dose Option

For a cautious start or if you’re sensitive to peptides:

• 4 units before bed
• This gives 100mcg CJC-1295 + 100mcg Ipamorelin.

Higher-Dose Option

Some people eventually move higher if they tolerate it well:

• 10–12 units before bed
• This gives 250–300mcg CJC-1295 + 250–300mcg Ipamorelin.

Timing

For best results, keep it simple:

• Take it before bed.
• Try to dose at least 2 hours after food.
• Wait about 30 minutes after injecting before eating anything.
• Use it 5 nights per week, then take 2 nights off.

Some people dose daily, and some split morning and evening, but bedtime 5 nights per week is the cleanest starting point.

HOW TO INJECT

Watch this quick video — it covers everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9NGueNM03I

The basics:

1. Wipe the top of the bottle with an alcohol swab.
2. Draw your dose into the syringe.
3. Pinch a bit of belly fat (or thigh), insert the needle, and push the plunger slowly.
4. Done. Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation.

Disposal: I just bend the needle tip back and forth against the counter until it snaps off, toss the tip in the garbage, and throw the syringe away. It’s not biohazard.

SIDE EFFECTS

Most people tolerate this blend well, especially when starting low.

Possible side effects:

• Mild redness, itching, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site
• Headache
• Flushing
• Fatigue or sleepiness
• Vivid dreams or deeper sleep
• Increased appetite
• Mild water retention
• Tingling or joint discomfort at higher doses

Start low for the first week to see how you respond. If you feel puffy, overly tired, hungry, or uncomfortable, back down the dose or pause.

Extra caution: Avoid use without medical guidance if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, have active or recent cancer, uncontrolled blood sugar issues, serious cardiovascular disease, or use prescription hormone or diabetes medications. Not for drug-tested sports.

STORAGE

Keep your bottle in the fridge — cold, dry, dark. It’ll easily last 4–6 months once reconstituted. Probably more like 8–12, but you’ll use it well before then.

Unreconstituted powder can be stored at room temperature, but the fridge is always better.
