In the world of modern wellness and longevity medicine, peptide therapy is quickly becoming one of the most effective ways to help your body restore balance, increase vitality, and optimize natural hormone function. One of the most popular and well-studied peptide combinations is CJC/Ipamorelin — a synergistic duo that works to stimulate your body’s own natural growth hormone (GH) production without the risks associated with synthetic hormones.

At Flow Wellness, we offer CJC/Ipamorelin peptide therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to anti-aging, recovery, and overall metabolic health. Let’s explore how it works and what you can expect.

What Is CJC/Ipamorelin?

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are two different peptides that, when combined, create a powerful yet physiologic way to boost your body’s growth hormone levels.

• CJC-1295 is a growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, meaning it signals your pituitary gland to release more growth hormone naturally over time.

• Ipamorelin is a growth hormone–releasing peptide (GHRP) that acts on ghrelin receptors to trigger short, natural pulses of GH release.

When used together, these two compounds complement each other — CJC-1295 supports sustained GH release, while Ipamorelin creates immediate pulses that mimic your body’s natural rhythm. The result is a smoother, more balanced, and consistent rise in GH and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), which supports cell repair, metabolism, muscle growth, and recovery.

How Does It Work?

Unlike synthetic growth hormone injections, which replace your body’s own production and can suppress natural feedback loops, CJC/Ipamorelin enhances your own physiologic function.

When injected (typically subcutaneously at night), these peptides stimulate your pituitary gland to release GH in a natural pulse similar to what occurs during deep sleep. This leads to:

• Increased IGF-1 production, which drives cellular repair, collagen synthesis, and tissue regeneration.

• Improved fat metabolism, helping your body preferentially burn fat while preserving lean muscle mass.

• Enhanced deep sleep and recovery, as growth hormone secretion is closely tied to restorative sleep cycles.

Benefits of CJC/Ipamorelin

While individual results vary, patients commonly notice improvements in multiple aspects of health and performance. Benefits may include:

Body Composition and Metabolism

• Increased lean muscle mass and reduced fat

• Enhanced metabolism and easier fat loss

• Greater strength and endurance during workouts

Recovery and Repair

• Faster recovery from injury or exercise

• Improved joint, tendon, and ligament healing

• Reduction in muscle soreness and inflammation

Sleep and Energy

• Deeper, more restorative sleep

• Improved energy levels and stamina

• Better mood, focus, and overall well-being

Skin, Hair, and Longevity

• Smoother skin and improved elasticity

• Thicker hair growth and stronger nails

• Support for healthy aging through enhanced cellular repair

What to Expect from Treatment

CJC/Ipamorelin therapy is usually administered by nightly subcutaneous injection, typically 5 nights per week to mimic your body’s natural hormone rhythm. Many patients notice improved sleep quality and subtle increases in energy within 2–4 weeks. More visible changes — such as fat loss, muscle gain, and improved skin tone — typically occur after 8–12 weeks of consistent use.

At Flow Wellness, your clinician will personalize your dosing protocol and monitor progress over time to ensure optimal results. Most patients undergo therapy in 3–6 month cycles, with periodic reassessment of growth hormone and IGF-1 levels.

Is CJC/Ipamorelin Safe?

When prescribed under medical supervision, CJC/Ipamorelin is generally well tolerated and safe. Because it stimulates your own natural hormone production rather than supplying exogenous GH, the risk of adverse effects such as fluid retention or insulin resistance is minimal.

Common mild side effects can include temporary injection site irritation or transient fatigue. At Flow Wellness, our medical team ensures that dosing, timing, and peptide sourcing meet strict compounding standards to ensure purity, potency, and patient safety.

Who Can Benefit from CJC/Ipamorelin?

This therapy is ideal for adults experiencing symptoms of low growth hormone production or age-related metabolic decline, including:

• Difficulty losing fat despite diet and exercise

• Loss of muscle mass or strength

• Poor sleep quality or frequent fatigue

• Slower recovery from workouts or injuries

• Decreased libido or mood changes

• Premature skin aging or thinning hair

Many of our patients use CJC/Ipamorelin as part of a comprehensive peptide or hormone optimization plan, often alongside therapies like testosterone, GLP-1, or NAD+ to support cellular energy and longevity.

The Science Behind Peptide Therapy

Clinical studies show that CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin can safely and significantly increase GH and IGF-1 levels in both younger and older adults. These peptides have been used for over a decade in anti-aging and wellness medicine to restore physiologic hormone balance, improve metabolic parameters, and enhance recovery without overstimulation or suppression.

Unlike anabolic steroids or synthetic GH, this therapy supports your body’s natural rhythm and homeostasis, making it one of the most balanced approaches to longevity medicine available today.
