CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It is studied in two forms: "no DAC" (also called Mod GRF 1-29), which is short-acting, and "with DAC" (Drug Affinity Complex), which binds albumin for a markedly longer half-life in research models.

Research mechanism. CJC-1295 research focuses on stimulation of the pituitary to release growth hormone in pulses. The DAC version extends the active window, while the no-DAC version produces a sharper, shorter pulse often studied alongside a GHRP such as Ipamorelin for synergistic release.

Growth-hormone release research. The central research theme is endogenous GH-pulse stimulation and the comparison of DAC vs no-DAC kinetics.

Body-composition models. It is studied for downstream effects on muscle and fat metabolism in research models.

GHRH + GHRP synergy studies. CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is one of the most-studied research pairings for amplified GH pulses.
