Growth hormone, for its part, increases cellular replication, encourages collagen synthesis in your skeletal muscles, and stimulates the production of a separate hormone called insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), which helps regulate the process by which your body creates fat.1 2 3 Given these qualities, a higher concentration of circulating growth hormone can lead to improved exercise training, increased muscle strength, and a decreased propensity for fat accumulation.4 Despite belonging to the same category and effecting a common outcome, CJC-1295 and ipamorelin have distinct mechanisms of action: CJC-1295s mechanism of action CJC-1295 mimics a chemical from the hypothalamus called growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which tells the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.5 Ipamorelins mechanism of action Ipamorelin is an analog of ghrelin, a hormone originating from the cells in your stomach.6 As such, it binds to the brains ghrelin receptor and, like GHRH, stimulates growth hormone secretion from the pituitary
These secretagogues indirectly stimulate GH and IGF-1 release
Muscle tissues were collected from rats and mice after euthanasia with an overdose of isoflurane in an induction chamber
What can be said without guessing: no published trial administered CJC-1295 twice within a single week
Its unique profile has helped it become one of the most frequently discussed growth hormone secretagogue peptides available today
