Ipamorelin / Epitalon / CJC-1295 No DAC Blend

Also known as: Ipamorelin + Epithalon + CJC-1295 No DAC Blend

A research blend combining the GH secretagogues Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 (No DAC) with the telomere-associated peptide Epitalon. It is studied for combined growth hormone support and longevity-oriented effects.

Mechanism of Action

CJC-1295 (No DAC, modified GRF 1-29) activates the pituitary GHRH receptor to amplify GH pulse amplitude, while Ipamorelin selectively stimulates the GHS-R1a (ghrelin) receptor to produce a clean, additional GH pulse with minimal cortisol or prolactin effect, giving a synergistic increase in pulsatile GH and IGF-1. Epitalon (Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) studied for activation of telomerase and modulation of the pineal-gland melatonin axis, which is associated in research with longevity and circadian effects. The blend thus pairs two complementary GH secretagogue mechanisms with an independent telomere/pineal-targeted pathway.

Half-life
Mixed: Ipamorelin ~2 hours, CJC-1295 (No DAC) ~30 minutes, Epitalon very short (minutes) with proposed prolonged downstream effects
Administration Routes
subcutaneous

Reported Benefits

  • Studied for synergistic endogenous GH release
  • Investigated for telomerase activation via Epitalon
  • Examined for improved sleep and circadian regulation
  • Researched for recovery and lean mass support

Common Dosing

Research-literature blends are studied at roughly 100-300 mcg of each GH secretagogue and 5-10 mg of Epitalon per cycle, typically administered daily or in short cycles. For research-use only; not personal medical advice.

Epitalon targets a different pathway (telomerase and the pineal melatonin axis) than GH secretagogues, so the blend aims to combine growth-hormone support with longevity-oriented research effects.

No, Epitalon is a longevity-focused tetrapeptide studied for telomere and circadian effects; it is included here alongside the GH secretagogues Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 rather than acting on the GH axis itself.
