Are CJC-1295 and ipamorelin the same thing?

No. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog — a modified version of growth hormone releasing hormone. Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that acts on the ghrelin receptor. They are different molecules acting through different described pathways.

What does 'with DAC' mean?

Drug Affinity Complex. It is a modification that binds the peptide to albumin in the bloodstream, substantially extending its half-life compared with the unmodified form.

Why are they sold together as a stack?

Because they are commonly studied together in the literature, and bundling them is cheaper than buying both separately. The vials are still separate — a stack is not a pre-mixed product.

How are they supplied?

Both as 10mg lyophilised vials. CJC-1295 with DAC is $150, ipamorelin is $100, and the Growth Hormone Stack bundles them.

Comparison

CJC-1295 vs Ipamorelin

Frequently bundled, frequently confused. Two different molecules described as acting on different receptors.

These two are bundled together often enough that people assume they are variants of one compound. They are not. They are different molecules described as acting through different pathways.

What each one is

CJC-1295 with DAC

A synthetic analog of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). The "with DAC" designation refers to a Drug Affinity Complex, a modification that binds the molecule to albumin in circulation, which substantially extends its half-life compared with the unmodified peptide.

Ipamorelin

A growth hormone secretagogue described in the literature as a selective agonist at the ghrelin receptor. It is a pentapeptide, structurally unrelated to GHRH.

Why they are studied together

Because they are described as acting on different receptors within the same signalling system. That is why the research literature frequently examines them in combination, and why we bundle them in the Growth Hormone Stack.

Bundling is a pricing and convenience decision. The vials arrive separately and are reconstituted separately. See what is in each stack.
