Overview
This entry covers CJC-1295 with DAC, a ghrh analog (long-acting), graded "Minimal evidence" in this catalog's evidence system. There is little or no formal study of this compound. Claims rest on anecdote, theory, or very early-stage work; risk data are absent by definition.
A modified GHRH 1-29 analog with a drug-affinity complex (DAC) lysine linker that enables albumin binding and an extended half-life, intended for sustained GH stimulation.
Mechanism of Action
Like native GHRH, CJC-1295 acts on pituitary GHRH receptors to stimulate GH secretion in pulses; the DAC modification stretches plasma residence to roughly 6–8 days.
Research and Evidence
A handful of early human pharmacology studies exist, but no registrational program was completed. The compound circulates almost entirely as a research chemical.
Safety and Side Effects
No systematic human safety data for chronic use; prohibited in sport as a growth hormone releasing factor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the evidence tier of CJC-1295 with DAC?
CJC-1295 with DAC is graded "Minimal evidence" on this site. There is little or no formal study of this compound. Claims rest on anecdote, theory, or very early-stage work; risk data are absent by definition.
