A growth-hormone-axis stack for body recomposition — pulse-mimicking secretagogues rather than exogenous HGH.
Rather than injecting HGH, this stack nudges the body's own growth-hormone pulse using a GHRH analogue plus a ghrelin-receptor agonist. The CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin pairing is the canonical combination: the GHRH analogue raises the amplitude of the pulse, the GHRP triggers it, and Ipamorelin is chosen for being relatively selective (less cortisol/prolactin spillover than older GHRPs).
Evening dosing on an empty stomach aligns with the natural overnight GH rhythm. Recomposition from the GH axis is slow and modest — set expectations over months, not weeks, and keep training and protein as the primary drivers.
| Compound | Role | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| CJC-1295 (without DAC) GHRH analogue — raises GH pulse amplitude. | Primary | 100-300mcg per injection | 2-3 times daily (morning, post-workout optional, bedtime) |
| Ipamorelin Selective GHRP — triggers the pulse with minimal spillover. | Primary | 200-300 mcg per injection | 1-3 times daily depending on goals (1x for longevity, 2-3x for performance) |
