Every figure on this site traces to one of these. DOIs and PubMed links included.

Core literature

The studies behind the CJC-1295 Ipamorelin claims on this site, numbered as cited. Single-component pharmacology, the synergy evidence, the class safety synthesis, and the read-across comparator data — each line carries its DOI and PubMed identifier. Where a finding is extrapolated rather than measured for the blend, the body pages say so; these are the sources that are measured.

Most recent additions

The freshest entries in the record (2025–2026): the tesamorelin meta-analysis [7], a gerontology peptide review grouping ipamorelin among non-approved peptides lacking long-term safety data, a 2026 musculoskeletal peptide safety/efficacy appraisal, and a 2025 nano-LC-MS method for detecting GHRH analogues in urine (anti-doping context). These extend, but do not change, the central picture: strong single-component pharmacology, no controlled trial of the fixed combination.
