Ipamorelin vs CJC-1295
Same destination, different door. One acts on the ghrelin receptor, the other mimics GHRH.
What is the difference
These two are constantly mentioned together, which makes it easy to assume they do the same thing. They do not. CJC-1295 (no DAC) is a GHRH analog. It copies the hypothalamic hormone that instructs the pituitary. Ipamorelin binds a completely different receptor, GHS-R1a, the one ghrelin uses. Because the two receptors sit on the same cells but run on separate signalling routes, the research literature studies them as complementary rather than interchangeable.
| Property | Ipamorelin | CJC-1295 (no DAC) |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Pentapeptide (5 amino acids) | Modified GHRH fragment (also called Mod GRF 1-29) |
| Receptor | GHS-R1a, the ghrelin receptor | GHRH receptor |
| Mechanism class | Growth hormone secretagogue (GHRP class) | GHRH analog |
| Selectivity | Minimal measured effect on cortisol and prolactin | Acts on the GHRH pathway only |
| Origin | Novo Nordisk, 1990s; stopped after phase 2 | Synthetic GHRH(1-29) analog, no DAC attached |
| Research focus | Selective secretagogue signalling | Hypothalamic-pituitary signalling |
| VND price (this catalog) | 1,900,000 VND | 1,400,000 VND |
Bottom line
Two separate receptors, two separate research questions. The reason they are so often named in the same sentence is that they act on the same axis from different entry points. Not because one substitutes for the other. Both are listed in the catalog.

Common questions
Which of these peptides is better for research?
Neither is "better". Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 (no DAC) address different research questions through different mechanisms. The choice depends on the research protocol.
Can I order both peptides from this catalog?
Yes. Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 (no DAC) are listed as separate items. 2+ peptides = free bacteriostatic water 10 ml. Price and availability confirmed before payment.
Do I need a separate inquiry for each peptide?
No. You can ask about both in one Telegram message. Mention the names and formats. The manager will confirm availability, total and timing.
