How CJC-1295 works

Mimics GHRH to stimulate pituitary GH release. The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) version binds to albumin, extending its half-life to 6-8 days. The no-DAC version (mod GRF 1-29) has a shorter duration matching natural GH pulse patterns.

Reported benefits

Based on available research data, CJC-1295 has been associated with the following benefits:

  • Sustained growth hormone elevation
  • Improved body composition
  • Enhanced recovery
  • Better sleep quality
  • Synergistic with GHRPs like ipamorelin

Supporting research

Prolonged stimulation of growth hormone secretion by CJC-1295

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2006 · PMID: 16352683

CJC-1295 with DAC produced sustained 2-10 fold increases in GH and IGF-1 levels for 6+ days after a single injection in healthy adults.
