Jay Campbell's Beginner GH Stack

CJC-1295 (no DAC) and ipamorelin injected together at bedtime, 5 days on, 2 days off. CJC-1295 extends the duration of GH pulses while ipamorelin triggers the pulse itself. Together they produce a stronger, longer-lasting GH release than either peptide alone. Effects include improved sleep quality, body recomposition, faster recovery, and better skin over 8-12 weeks.

Beginners who want their first GH secretagogue experience. Campbell calls this combo "easy to purchase at a reasonable cost and extensively studied." Budget is moderate compared to multi-peptide stacks. Inject at bedtime on an empty stomach. This same combination appears in both muscle growth and fat loss protocol lists, so it works for either goal. Not for anyone with elevated IGF-1 or active cancer.

CJC-1295 (no DAC, also called mod-GRF 1-29) is a GHRH analog that extends GH pulse duration. Clinical data shows it increases IGF-1 by 46-82% with daily dosing (Ionescu and Bhatt, PMID 16352683). Ipamorelin is a selective GH secretagogue that does not significantly raise cortisol or prolactin (Raun et al., PMID 9849822). The combination is the most commonly recommended beginner GH stack across multiple peptide practitioners including Campbell, Koniver, and others.
