Also known as: CJC1295 · DAC:GRF

Part of the Growth hormone & IGF peptides cluster

Overview

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) studied for effects on the GH/IGF-1 axis. Variants with and without DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) appear in research discussions.

Source & context

Biological / chemical source: Synthetic GHRH analog

Primary research or clinical context: Research compound (not an approved drug)

With vs. without DAC

DAC-containing versions were designed to extend circulating half-life via albumin binding. Research discussions often distinguish CJC-1295 with DAC from modified GRF 1-29 (sometimes called CJC-1295 without DAC).

Stacking context (educational)

Online research communities frequently discuss CJC-1295 alongside GHRP-family peptides such as ipamorelin. This site covers mechanisms and nomenclature only — not protocols or human use guidance.
