What Is It?
A 29-amino-acid synthetic analog of GHRH (growth-hormone-releasing hormone). The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) extends the peptide's half-life from minutes to days — making it the only true weekly GH peptide.
How Does It Work?
CJC-1295 signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormone naturally. Synthetic HGH is a delivery — a package of growth hormone dropped at your door. CJC-1295 is a wake-up call to the gland that already makes it. And the DAC? It's a hitchhiker — binding to albumin (your blood's most abundant protein) so the peptide rides your bloodstream for a week.
Primary Benefits (research suggests)
- GH elevated 2-10x for 6+ days
- IGF-1 elevated up to 28 days
- One injection lasts weeks
- Upstream signaling preserves natural feedback loops
