Thinking about putting cjc no dac + ipamorelin into my stack. From what I gather, a lot of folks inject this right before sleep. Most nights I’m in bed around 11 pm, but when I pick up OT I won’t be home and settled until 2 am or even later. In that situation, do you still inject that late? Or do you skip it? Or would it make more sense to just inject in the morning rather than before bed?

Right now there are a few solid CJC+ipa threads on here...I've got some CJC+ipa on the way and have been reading through them on my own...give the search a try... 👍
 
CJC/ipamorelin triggers your pituitary to put out bigger or more frequent pulses of your own GH — and because the bulk of GH output happens overnight while you're asleep, timing it right before bed gives the best results — even when "bed" means 2am — the one thing to watch is that your last food was roughly 3 or 4 hours earlier — it performs poorly when your body is still digesting.

Morning use is possible as well — if you're fasted and squeeze in some cardio ahead of breakfast — though in my honest opinion 80% of users go with the nighttime option. (your pituitary releases GH during cardio/ or short intense bursts of exercise — sprinting being one example)

A flushed / slightly red face about 10 mins after your shot tells you it's cjc/ipam — nothing to be concerned about there.

Dosage - typ 200mcg - 250mcg.

I ran it myself years back and got some benefit- but as a senior my pituitary puts out squat next to a younger person - so direct hgh worked far better in my case (I have aghd).

My son is on cjc/ipam right now. It's quite the unique pep.

One more thing - I think cjc/ipam pairs nicely with DSIP since dsip helps you reach better quality sleep - not extra sleep - but definitely better quality- one of my favorite peps.

Hope this helps you out.
 
Another overnight shift worker here, 35+ years of it. Aging is hitting me quickly, but sleep is sleep—just do it. Getting any kind of steady sleep has taken me nearly the whole year, and even plenty of it still falls short. Figure out what works for you and keep at it until it stops working. About a month back I started nasal Epithalon and saw some benefit; next I want to bring in Dsip and find out whether that does anything.
 
Taking CJC/IPA on an empty stomach right before sleep. Whether it's 11pm or 2am, it makes no difference. As long as you're sleeping 3-4 hours in a fasted state with CJC/IPA, you're set.
 
I've used CJC no-DAC + ipa, and my approach was to inject at the moment you're actually turning in, rather than locking it to 11pm. What matters with the nighttime dose is the sleep period itself, so hitting it at 2am after overtime is still okay provided you left the fasting interval before it. If you've already eaten or can't hit that window, the morning is a viable fallback.

Appreciate it! Even when I'm on OT, I still manage to get 4-5 hrs of sleep minimum.
