CJC-1295

A growth hormone releasing hormone analogue. The 'with DAC' version lasts days rather than minutes.

Not approved anywhere

What it isA modified fragment of growth hormone releasing hormone. The DAC version adds a chemistry that binds it to albumin so it persists far longer.
How it is thought to workStimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone, through a different receptor than ipamorelin — which is the reason the two are often paired.
What the evidence actually showsEarly-phase human pharmacokinetic studies showed it does raise GH and IGF-1. There are no trials showing a clinical benefit for tissue repair or hypermobility.
Regulatory statusNot approved. Development did not continue to approval.
DosingNo approved dose. Published early-phase studies were dose-ranging pharmacokinetic work, not treatment protocols.

Risks and cautions

  • The DAC version's long half-life means a continuous elevation in GH rather than the pulses the body normally produces. The long-term consequence of that is not known.
  • Same cancer and blood sugar considerations as any GH-raising compound.
  • Prohibited in sport by WADA.
