What it is

CJC-1295 without DAC is a short-acting GHRH analog studied for discrete GH pulses.

Evidence boundary

Investigational / limited human evidence.

Trial evidence

  • PMID 42395176 — The emerging landscape of performance-enhancing peptides modulating GH-IGF1 axis: bridging the gap between clinical evidence and patient self-administration.
  • PMID 42160466 — Injectable Peptides in Sports Medicine: A Structured Narrative Review of Evidence, Safety, and Antidoping Implications.
  • PMID 41476424 — Injectable Peptide Therapy: A Primer for Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Physicians.

Preparation and measurement

Reconstitution: 10 mg vial + 2 mL BAC = 5 mg/mL.

Titration rules

  • Standard (100 mcg, 2–3× daily): Multiple GH pulses across the day. Common research protocol.

  • Timing: Avoid eating for 30+ minutes after each dose — meals blunt GH release. Pre-bed dosing aligns with natural overnight pulse during slow-wave sleep.

  • GH pulse pattern

  • Sleep and recovery

  • Hunger changes

  • Water retention

  • Injection-site reactions

Practical rules

  • Pre-bed timing is common in the collected notes.
  • Avoid eating right after dosing.
  • Keep training and sleep steady.
  • Rotate sites.
