The source list

CJC-1295 Ipamorelin references: every claim on this site, traced to its study.

The full citation list with DOIs and PubMed links. Two marked taller; one deliberate gap where the fixed-blend trial should be.

How to read this list

Every numbered citation below maps to a [N] marker in the body copy across the site. The list spans the three literatures this pairing rests on: the CJC-1295 / GHRH-analogue work, the ipamorelin / ghrelin-receptor work, and the broader GH-secretagogue and synergy studies. Note what is not here: there is no entry for a controlled trial of the fixed CJC-1295 Ipamorelin combination, because none exists — that is the deliberate gap. Each line gives authors, journal, year, and a DOI or PubMed identifier you can verify directly.
