Dosing Considerations
1] Allergic Reactions
10% of athletes develop an allergy to CJC-1295. This can happen on first injection, or can be delayed several months. If this happens, stop IPA/CJC immediately. Allergy will most likely increase with subsequent doses and eventually lead to anaphylaxis, which is dangerous. See Side Effects section below.
2] Hunger
May experience a small increase in appetite for 1-2hrs post injection, for the first 2-3 weeks, after which this subsides.
Side Effects
1] Allergic Reactions
10% of athletes develop a serious allergic reaction to CJC-1295. If this happens, stop using CJC immediately, do not power through to "see how it goes". Allergic reactions will worsen over time and will result anaphylaxis, which is dangerous. Severe allergic reactions can persist for 1-2hrs, taking anti-histamines can help reduce symptoms. The first signs of an allergic reaction developing include: significant itchiness and red, blotching skin that spreads, lightheadedness, dizziness, and diarrhea.
2] Bloating & Achy Joints
Some athletes are sensitive responders to IPA/CJC. If you experience any bloating or achy joints, this is a sign that your body needs more time to acclimate to the "new normal" of higher GH levels. Simply discontinue injections for a few days to let symptoms subside, then start the ramp up cycle again but at half your previous dose. Proceed with an even slower ramp-up in dose.
3] Face Flush
IPA/CJC commonly causes a face flush and slightly elevated heart rate for 15-20min after injection. This is typical and not a cause for concern.
Positive Benefits
1] Muscle Gain, Fat Loss
3-4 lbs muscle gain, and 3-4lbs fat loss is a typical response.
2] Healthy Skin
People commonly report skin feels and looks more youthful and healthy.
3] Enhanced Sleep
Higher sleep quality is often reported with IPA/CJC.
4] Strengthens & Heals Connective Tissue
GH aids in collagen deposition in the skin and in connective tissues, which has healing and strengthening effects.
5] Increases Vascular Health
GH increases vascular health, which aids both in brain health and in cardiovascular performance.
