CJC-1295

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone analog

Low Dose
1 mg/wk
Medium Dose
2 mg/wk
Route
SubQ weekly
Cycle Length
16–24 weeks

Mechanism of Action

GHRH analog that binds pituitary GHRH receptors to amplify pulsatile GH secretion. The DAC variant extends half-life via albumin binding; the no-DAC variant mimics natural GH pulses.

Key Benefits

  • Growth hormone pulse amplification
  • Improved body composition and lean mass
  • Fat loss
  • Improved sleep quality and recovery

Dosing Protocol

Low / Starting Dose
1 mg/wk
Medium / Maintenance Dose
2 mg/wk
Administration Route
SubQ weekly
Half-Life
~8 days (DAC); ~30 min (no-DAC)
Frequency
1–2x weekly (DAC)
Cycle Length
16–24 weeks
Protocol Notes

Classically stacked with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH pulse amplification.

Ideal Candidates

GH optimization, body recomposition, recovery.

Side Effects & Safety

Water retention, head rush/flushing, injection site reactions, tingling.

Regulatory Status

Restricted

FDA Category 2 — on the do-not-compound list. Educational reference only.

Frequently asked

What is CJC-1295?+
