CJC-1295 Research Guide
Full name: CJC-1295 (Modified GRF 1-29)
A synthetic GHRH analog with 4 amino acid substitutions for stability. Often combined with DAC for extended half-life or used without DAC for pulsatile release.
How CJC-1295 Works
Binds GHRH receptors on anterior pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating cAMP-dependent GH synthesis and pulsatile release.
Dosing Protocol
- Typical dose: 100-300 mcg
- Frequency: 1-3x daily (no-DAC)
- Duration: 8-16 weeks
- Route: Subcutaneous injection
Reported Benefits
- Increased GH production
- Improved body composition
- Enhanced recovery
- Better sleep quality
- Anti-aging effects
- Fat loss
Potential Side Effects
- Flushing
- Headache
- Water retention
- Tingling/numbness
- Increased hunger
Research Citations
- CJC-1295 effects on GH secretion in healthy adults (2020) - Increased mean GH levels by 200-1000% and IGF-1 by 50-70% sustained over 6-14 days after single injection.
- Pulsatile vs sustained GH release with GHRH analogs (2019) - Non-DAC CJC-1295 preserved physiological GH pulsatility while achieving 2-10x baseline elevation.
