05Administration Protocol

Parameter
Chonluten
Ipamorelin
1. Preparation
Typically supplied as capsules or sublingual tablets. No reconstitution required. Store in cool, dry place away from light.
Add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to 5 mg vial → 2.5 mg/mL. Roll gently. Solution should be clear.
2. Oral route
Swallow capsule with water, 20–30 minutes before meals or as directed. Traditional Khavinson protocol emphasizes empty stomach for absorption.
Subcutaneous, abdomen or thigh. Rotate sites. Pinch fat for shallow SQ delivery.
3. Sublingual route
Place tablet under tongue, allow dissolution for 1–2 minutes. Avoid swallowing immediately. Claimed to bypass first-pass metabolism.
Pre-sleep optimal — aligns with natural GH pulse. Some protocols add a morning fasted dose.
4. Timing
Morning dose preferred; may split into twice-daily if higher dose used. Consistency emphasized in bioregulator protocols.
Lyophilised: room temp, protected from light. Reconstituted: refrigerate 2–8 °C, use within 30 days.
5. Cycle protocol
10–30 day cycles common in Russian tradition. Rest period of 1–3 months between cycles often recommended, though no published evidence for this approach.
29–31G, 4–8 mm insulin syringe.

06Stack Synergy

Chonluten
— no documented stacks
Ipamorelin
+ Tesamorelin
Strong
View Tesamorelin

Ipamorelin (GHRP) + tesamorelin (GHRH analogue) is the textbook dual-axis GH stack. They activate two distinct pituitary receptors — the ghrelin receptor and the GHRH receptor — producing a synergistic GH pulse larger than either alone. Ipamorelin's selectivity (no cortisol/prolactin spike) makes it the ideal GHRP partner for long-term protocols.

200–300 mcg SQ · pre-sleep
Tesamorelin
2 mg SQ · same injection · pre-sleep
Primary benefit
Maximal GH pulsatility, fat loss, recovery, sleep depth
+ CJC-1295 (no DAC)
Strong
View CJC-1295 (no DAC)

CJC-1295 (no DAC) is a short-acting GHRH analogue. Combined with ipamorelin (GHRP), the pulse is amplified across both receptor systems with timing similar to native physiology. Without the DAC modification, the stack maintains sharp peaks rather than the sustained elevation seen with CJC-1295-DAC + ipamorelin.
