CJC-1295 and ipamorelin are used together as a pair. CJC-1295 signals the pituitary gland to release more of the body’s own growth hormone, and ipamorelin prompts a cleaner release with fewer off-target effects. The combination is studied for its influence on recovery, body composition, and sleep quality rather than for replacing hormones outright.

Support for the body’s own growth-hormone production

Lean-muscle maintenance and post-exercise recovery

Deeper, more restorative sleep

Body-composition support as part of a broader plan

Most peptides are not FDA-approved for the uses discussed publicly, and are prescribed at the discretion of a licensed provider after an individual evaluation. A peptide is not appropriate for everyone, and individual results vary.

Peptide therapy at Cienega Medical is available by prescription only. You start with a consultation with one of our nurse practitioners, who reviews your health history, your goals, and whether a peptide is appropriate for you. If it is, they write the prescription and we prepare it for your visit. If it is not, they will tell you that too.

CJC-1295 is a lab-synthesized peptide based on growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the natural signal that prompts the pituitary to release growth hormone. It has been studied in clinical research settings for growth-hormone support and is used alongside ipamorelin. It is a research peptide, available at Cienega by prescription only after a consultation.

What is CJC-1295?

CJC-1295 is a synthetic peptide developed as an analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It has been the subject of scientific and pharmaceutical research. It is referenced in the literature as a research compound rather than as an approved medication. Is CJC-1295 FDA-approved?

No. CJC-1295 is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any medical use. It is not an approved drug or dietary supplement ingredient and is generally categorized as a research-only compound. Can I get CJC-1295 at Cienega Medical?

CJC-1295 is available by prescription following a nurse practitioner consultation. We prescribe it combined with Ipamorelin, which is how it is most commonly formulated. Neither peptide is FDA-approved. Your provider will review whether it is appropriate for you. How do I start?

Book a consultation. One of our nurse practitioners will review your health history and goals with you, and if a peptide is appropriate they will write the prescription and we will order it for your visit. Your card is charged when the prescription is processed.
