CJC-1295 is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog studied as a research secretagogue — available in a shorter-acting no-DAC form and a long-acting DAC form.
What is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), based on the first 29 amino acids of GHRH (GRF 1-29) with substitutions that increase stability. It is studied as a research growth-hormone secretagogue acting at the GHRH receptor.
No DAC vs DAC
CJC-1295 comes in two research forms. The no-DAC form (also called Mod GRF 1-29 or CJC-1295 without DAC) is shorter-acting. The DAC form adds a Drug Affinity Complex that binds albumin, dramatically extending the research half-life for sustained-signaling studies.
How CJC-1295 is studied
Both forms are investigated for GHRH-receptor signaling and growth-hormone-release pathways:
- GHRH-receptor activation and downstream GH release.
- Pulsatile vs sustained signaling (no-DAC vs DAC).
- Secretagogue combination research with ghrelin mimetics.
Half-life & forms
The no-DAC form has a short research half-life (roughly 30 minutes), while the DAC form extends to the order of a week thanks to albumin binding. Both ship lyophilized.
Commonly studied alongside
CJC-1295 is classically paired with the selective ghrelin mimetic Ipamorelin (overview), and is offered as the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin blend. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water — see the reconstitution guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog (based on GRF 1-29) studied as a research growth-hormone secretagogue at the GHRH receptor.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 no DAC and DAC?
The no-DAC form is shorter-acting (half-life ~30 minutes); the DAC form adds a Drug Affinity Complex that binds albumin and extends the half-life to about a week, for sustained-signaling research.
What is CJC-1295 studied with?
It is most often co-studied with ipamorelin, a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist, and is available as a blend.
