What dose does this CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin calculator use by default?

It starts from the first supported mg/mcg protocol in the MeinePeptide monograph, preferring beginner, then standard, then advanced protocols.

How much bacteriostatic water should I compare?

The chart compares 1 ml, 2 ml, and 3 ml because these are common reconstitution volumes. The interactive calculator lets you enter any volume.

Once pre-bed gets you most of the sleep benefit. Twice daily (AM fasted + pre-bed) adds the body-recomp signal. Three times daily is for users chasing maximum IGF-1 elevation and accepting the receptor-desensitisation risk that goes with it.

Can I eat right after?

Wait 30 minutes. Insulin from a meal blunts the GH pulse; the whole point of the shot is the pulse, so eating into it wastes the dose.

Safety summary

Contraindications

Active cancer or recent cancer history — IGF-1 elevation is the mechanism you do not want to amplify
Pregnancy or breastfeeding — no human safety data in either context
Severe insulin resistance or poorly controlled diabetes
Caution with concurrent corticosteroid use — the two signals work against each other on the GH/IGF axis

Side effects

mildFlushing or warmth in the face for a few minutes after injection. This is the Ipamorelin component — fades within 10 minutes.
mildTingling or transient numbness, usually hands or face.
mildMild hunger 30–60 minutes after the shot. Ipamorelin is a ghrelin agonist; the appetite signal is real but much milder than GHRP-6.
moderateReceptor desensitisation if cycled too long. The GHS-R1a downregulates with continuous stimulation, which is why the 12-on / 4-off rule exists.

CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin

The workhorse GH-secretagogue stack: a GHRH analogue paired with a selective ghrelin agonist. GHRH plus GHRP produces more GH per pulse than either alone, with a side-effect profile most people find tolerable for indefinite use.
