"A tetrasubstituted GHRH analog with four amino acid substitutions that increase receptor affinity and proteolytic resistance. Most commonly studied in combination with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH pulse amplification."
Full Description
CJC-1295 (No DAC) is a modified version of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), specifically the GHRH(1-29) fragment with four key amino acid substitutions (Ala2→Aib, Gln8→Ala, Ser28→Asn, Gln29→Ala) to improve stability and receptor binding. The "No DAC" designation means it lacks the Drug Affinity Complex modification and therefore has a shorter half-life (~30 min) than DAC versions. It stimulates pituitary somatotrophs to release GH in a physiological pulsatile pattern. Commonly co-administered with GHRP/ghrelin analogs (e.g., Ipamorelin) to amplify endogenous GH pulses.
Mechanism of Action
Binds and activates GHRH receptors (GHRHR) on pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating GH synthesis and release in a pulsatile, physiological pattern. Does not disrupt feedback loops.
Reported Benefits
- • Stimulates pulsatile, physiological GH release
- • Increases serum IGF-1 levels in dose-dependent manner
- • Preserves natural feedback loops unlike exogenous GH
Potential Side Effects
- • Injection site reactions and flushing
- • Headache and dizziness in some protocols
- • Water retention and mild joint discomfort
