Growth Hormone Peptides: CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin in South Africa
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are growth hormone peptides used to support deeper sleep, recovery, body composition and healthy ageing. Rather than injecting synthetic growth hormone, they gently prompt your own body to release more of its natural growth hormone. At mobivIVe, the doctor-reviewed CJC-1295/Ipamorelin combination pen is R1,580, delivered nationwide across South Africa. Below is what they do, who they suit, what they cost, and how to get started with our doctor-led team. New to growth hormone peptides? Read our full guide on what CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are and how they work.
What they do. Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone releasing peptide that triggers a natural pulse of growth hormone without a meaningful effect on cortisol or appetite. CJC-1295 is a growth hormone releasing hormone analogue that extends how long that release lasts. Used together, they produce a stronger, more natural growth hormone rise than either alone, which is why the combination is popular.
Peptides vs synthetic HGH. Synthetic HGH injects the hormone directly and overrides your own system. Growth hormone peptides instead stimulate your pituitary to release growth hormone in its natural, pulsed rhythm, which is generally lower cost and keeps your body’s own feedback intact. They are used as support for sleep, recovery and vitality under medical guidance, not as a treatment for diagnosed growth hormone deficiency.
How to start, in 3 simple steps
Message us on WhatsApp. Tell our doctor-led team your goal.
Medical questionnaire. Complete a short questionnaire, reviewed by our registered doctor. A consultation is arranged when your screening calls for one. If it is safe and suitable, a script is issued.
Delivered to your door. Your prefilled pen is couriered anywhere in South Africa, with clear dosing instructions.
Important for competitive athletes. Growth hormone peptides such as CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are on the WADA Prohibited List (banned at all times), so anyone competing under anti-doping rules should not use them. Recreational, non-competitive use is a different matter. If you compete, tell us, and always check with your sport’s governing body first.
Is it right for me? Growth hormone peptides suit adults wanting support with sleep quality, recovery and body composition as part of a medically-guided routine. Our doctor screens for anything that needs extra care and asks about your history and current medicines, so it can be checked before anything is dispensed. Tell us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an active cancer.
This combination pen pairs CJC-1295 (a GHRH analogue that prolongs GH release) with Ipamorelin (a GHRP that triggers GH pulses), creating a powerful yet physiologic boost to growth hormone activity. It’s ideal for clients who want stronger results in muscle gain, fat loss, recovery and visible anti-ageing than Ipamorelin alone, while still working with their body’s own GH system.
Used for
Muscle-building and strength-focused programmes
Body-recomposition (more muscle, less fat)
Faster recovery between intense training sessions
Skin, joint and connective-tissue support via GH/IGF1 pathways
They are growth hormone peptides. Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone releasing peptide that triggers a natural pulse of growth hormone, and CJC-1295 is a growth hormone releasing hormone analogue that extends that release. Together they support a stronger, more natural growth hormone rise.
Because they work at different points of the same pathway. CJC-1295 lengthens the window of growth hormone release while Ipamorelin triggers the pulse, so the combination produces a fuller, more physiological effect than either on its own. That is why we offer a CJC-1295/Ipamorelin combination pen.
Synthetic HGH injects growth hormone directly and bypasses your body’s own control. Growth hormone peptides prompt your pituitary to release growth hormone in its natural, pulsed rhythm, which is generally lower cost and keeps your own feedback loop intact. They are used as support under medical guidance, not as HGH replacement.
No, not for competitive athletes. Growth hormone secretagogues like these are on the WADA Prohibited List and are banned at all times under anti-doping rules. Recreational, non-competitive use is different, but if you compete you must check with your governing body first.
