CJC-1295 vs BPC-157 & TB-500 (Wolverine Stack)
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
CJC-1295
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone.

Known as the 'Wolverine Stack,' this popular combination pairs two powerful healing peptides. BPC-157 and TB-500 work synergistically to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from injuries.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | CJC-1295 | BPC-157 & TB-500 (Wolverine Stack) |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | CJC-1295 binds to GHRH receptors in the pituitary, triggering increased production and release of growth hormone. The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) version extends half-life significantly. | BPC-157 upregulates growth factor expression and promotes angiogenesis, while TB-500 promotes cell migration and differentiation through actin regulation. Together, they enhance wound healing, reduce scar tissue formation, and support musculoskeletal recovery through complementary pathways. |
| Typical Dosage | CJC-1295 DAC: 1-2mg weekly. CJC-1295 no DAC (Mod GRF 1-29): 100-300mcg 2-3 times daily. | Typical research protocols: BPC-157 at 250-500mcg daily combined with TB-500 at 2-2.5mg twice weekly during loading phase, then 2mg every 2 weeks for maintenance. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection, often combined with a GHRP like Ipamorelin for synergistic effects. Best administered before sleep or fasted. | Both peptides administered via subcutaneous injection. Some protocols suggest injecting near injury sites for localized effects. Can be injected separately or as a pre-mixed blend. |
| Side Effects | Water retention, tingling in extremities, potential increase in cortisol and prolactin levels. | Generally well-tolerated. May include mild nausea, temporary fatigue, headache, or localized irritation at injection sites. |
