CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that has been modified with Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) technology to dramatically extend its half-life. While natural GHRH has a half-life of just minutes, CJC-1295 with DAC binds to serum albumin, extending its activity to approximately 6-8 days per injection.

How It Works

This extended half-life fundamentally changes the pharmacology: rather than producing acute GH pulses, CJC-1295 elevates the baseline "trough" levels of GH and IGF-1 over time, resulting in sustained anabolic and lipolytic effects. This makes weekly or twice-monthly dosing practical, in contrast to the multiple-daily-injection schedules required by shorter-acting GHRH analogs.

CJC-1295 is most commonly used in combination with a GH secretagogue such as ipamorelin, which provides the acute GH pulse on top of CJC-1295's elevated baseline - a combination widely considered synergistic and more physiological than either agent alone. It is particularly popular for body composition optimization and recovery in athletes and anti-aging protocols.
