Peptide of the Week: SS-31 & CJC-1295/Ipamorelin – Energy, Recovery & Growth Hormone SupportWelcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas dive into two peptides with drastically different benefits: SS-31, a mitochondrial optimizer for cellular energy and longevity, and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, one of the most popular growth hormone secretagogues on the market.SS-31 is a powerful mitochondrial peptide that cleans up cellular waste, improves ATP production, reduces inflammation, and combats fatigue at the root level. Meanwhile, CJC-1295 paired with Ipamorelin promotes fat loss, better sleep, recovery, and natural HGH production but must be dosed carefully due to rare allergy risks.We cover:⚡ What SS-31 is and how it boosts mitochondrial integrity and ATP output🧬 Why it helps with chronic fatigue, inflammation, and cellular healing💉 Dosing protocols why most people feel real results at 5mg+🔥 Synergistic stack: SS-31 + MOTS-c for full mitochondrial energy + nutrient delivery🧠 SS-31’s potential for brain clarity, stamina, and aging slower📈 Why SS-31 is ideal for people with low energy, poor recovery, or slow wound healing💪 What CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin do for natural growth hormone production🌙 Why CJC is best dosed at night to support deep sleep and recovery🚫 Rare allergy warning for CJC-1295 (histamine response, flushing, hives)📏 Dosing tips 100–200mcg daily, what “no DAC” means, and why it matters🧪 Ideal stacks with testosterone, AOD-9604, TB-500, and BPC-157🛡️ Who should avoid CJC (those with insulin sensitivity, or prone to allergic response)💡 Whether you're rebuilding cellular energy or tapping into natural growth hormone SS-31 and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin cover two crucial pathways for total-body optimization.⚠️ Peptides are amino acid chains.
