Tesamorelin / CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin Blend

Also known as: Tesamorelin & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, CJC-1295 (No DAC), Ipamorelin

A potent three-part research blend pairing two GHRH analogs, Tesamorelin and CJC-1295 (No DAC), with the selective ghrelin agonist Ipamorelin. It is studied for strong synergistic GH release and visceral fat reduction.

Last updated

Mechanism of Action

Tesamorelin is a stabilized GHRH analog clinically shown to reduce visceral adipose tissue, while CJC-1295 (No DAC, modified GRF 1-29) is another GHRH-receptor agonist that amplifies GH pulse amplitude. Both act on the pituitary GHRH receptor, and Ipamorelin adds a complementary pulse through selective GHS-R1a (ghrelin) receptor activation with minimal cortisol or prolactin effect. The combination drives a strong synergistic increase in pulsatile GH and downstream IGF-1, with Tesamorelin contributing notable lipolytic and visceral-fat-reducing activity.

Half-life
Mixed: Tesamorelin ~26-38 minutes, CJC-1295 (No DAC) ~30 minutes, Ipamorelin ~2 hours

Common Dosing

Research-literature blends are studied at roughly 100-300 mcg of each component per administration, 1-2 times daily, often pre-sleep or fasted. For research-use only; not personal medical advice.

Both are GHRH analogs that act on the same pituitary receptor; researchers include Tesamorelin specifically for its well-documented visceral-fat-reducing activity, while CJC-1295 contributes additional GH pulse amplitude.

Yes, in research contexts this triple combination is regarded as one of the more potent GH secretagogue stacks because it engages two GHRH inputs plus a selective ghrelin agonist.
