CJC-1295 vs Ipamorelin
They act on two different pituitary receptors. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analogue acting at the GHRH receptor; ipamorelin is a ghrelin-receptor agonist. That is why they are so often studied together rather than instead of each other.
GHRH analogue
Choose CJC-1295 if
- ✓ Your work centres on the GHRH receptor
- ✓ You are studying how DAC modification changes half-life
Selective ghrelin-receptor agonist
Choose Ipamorelin if
- ✓ You need a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist
- ✓ You are comparing secretagogue selectivity
