Comparison table
| Attribute | CJC-1295 | GHRP-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | CJC-1295 (Modified GRF 1-29) | Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 |
| Category | Growth Hormone | Growth Hormone |
| Status | Research compound | Research compound |
| Mechanism | Binds GHRH receptors on anterior pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating cAMP-dependent GH synthesis and pulsatile release. | Activates GHSR-1a on pituitary for GH release and hypothalamic neurons for appetite. Triggers gastric motility and ghrelin-like reward signaling. |
| Molecular weight | 3,368 Da (without DAC) | 873 Da |
| Half-life | 30 minutes (no DAC) / 8 days (with DAC) | 2-3 hours |
| Bioavailability | High (SubQ) | High (SubQ) |
| Typical dose | 100-300 mcg | 100-300 mcg |
| Frequency | 1-3x daily (no-DAC) | 2-3x daily |
| Route | Subcutaneous injection | Subcutaneous |
