CJC-1295
CJC-1295 is a synthetic peptide analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) studied in controlled laboratory settings for its potential influence on growth hormone secretion pathways, peptide–receptor binding dynamics, and extended half-life modifications through DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) attachment.

CJC-1295 with DAC
Clinical Development & Research Focus
CJC-1295, available in both DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) and non-DAC forms, has been investigated in various preclinical and early-phase clinical research settings for its role in modulating growth hormone (GH) pathways and metabolic regulation.
- Growth Hormone Secretion Enhancement: Both forms of CJC-1295 have been studied for their ability to stimulate a physiologic release of GH. The DAC-conjugated form promotes prolonged GH elevation, while the non-DAC form induces a more immediate but shorter-lived response.
- Metabolic Effects: Research has explored their potential in influencing lean muscle mass, fat metabolism, and energy balance, with DAC formulations generally exhibiting extended systemic activity profiles.
- Tissue Regeneration & Repair: Investigations suggest involvement in cellular repair processes and tissue recovery mechanisms, driven by sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation, particularly with the DAC form.
- Pharmacokinetic Profiles: CJC-1295 with DAC demonstrates a significantly longer half-life due to its covalent binding to serum albumin, allowing for less frequent administration. The non-DAC version, lacking this modification, is rapidly cleared and requires more frequent dosing in experimental models.
It is important to emphasize that both variants of CJC-1295 are considered research chemicals intended solely for laboratory-based investigation. Neither form has received regulatory approval for therapeutic use in humans or animals.
Clinical Trial Findings & Efficacy
Early clinical trials and preclinical investigations have examined the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of both CJC-1295 with DAC and CJC-1295 without DAC in healthy adults and experimental models of growth hormone deficiency. Key findings include:
- Extended Half-Life (with DAC): The DAC-conjugated form exhibited a significantly prolonged half-life, remaining active in circulation for several days. This enables less frequent dosing and sustained GH stimulation over time.
- Rapid Clearance (without DAC): The non-DAC variant demonstrated a much shorter half-life, requiring more frequent administration to achieve comparable GH release, and is often used when pulse-like or acute GH stimulation is desired in research.
- GH and IGF-1 Elevation: Both forms led to increased levels of growth hormone and IGF-1. The DAC form resulted in prolonged elevation, while the non-DAC form produced a shorter, more transient rise.
- Dose-Dependent Response: The observed hormonal effects in both variants were dependent on dose and subject physiology, though the DAC version showed a more stable and predictable pharmacodynamic profile.
- General Safety Profile: Reported adverse effects across early studies were mild and included transient headaches and injection site reactions. Long-term safety has not been established for either form.
It is essential to emphasize that both forms of CJC-1295—with and without DAC—are classified strictly as investigational research compounds. They are not approved for any therapeutic or diagnostic use in humans or animals.

Storage & Shipping
All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures stability during transit and long-term storage. Below are the official recommendations:
- Stability During Shipping: Products are 100% stable for shipping for up to 3–4 months at ambient temperature.
- After Reconstitution: Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the peptide must be stored in a refrigerator and will remain stable for up to 30 days.
- Room Temperature Storage: Lyophilized powder can be safely stored at room temperature until reconstitution, provided it remains sealed and protected from light.
- Refrigerated Storage (Short Term): Store under 4°C (39°F) if not used immediately. Suitable for storage up to several weeks or months.
- Frozen Storage (Long Term): For extended stability (months to years), store in a freezer at -80°C (-112°F).
Note: Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Always aliquot after reconstitution when necessary. Follow institutional safety protocols for handling all research compounds.
