What is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is a lab-made peptide commonly grouped with growth-hormone secretagogues. Mechanistically it is usually described as a GHRH analog (distinct from ghrelin receptor agonists like ipamorelin). It is not an approved medicine, and real-world outcomes depend on variables including formulation and study design.

Benefits
- Potential change in GH pulse signaling in research settings (not fully established for outcomes)
- Potential IGF-1 changes depending on exposure/formulation (not fully established)
Mechanism of action
Primary pathways (studied):
- GHRH receptor signaling (pituitary) (research)
- Growth hormone / IGF-1 axis modulation (research)
Cell-level effects (studied):
- Studied for increasing growth hormone pulse amplitude in research settings
- Downstream IGF-1 changes depend on exposure and context (not fully established)
System-level effects (studied):
- Often discussed for body composition and recovery goals; controlled human outcomes vary
- Not fully established for athletic performance outcomes
Half-life
Half-life: Varies by formulation (DAC vs non-DAC); not fully established for all variants
Duration: Varies by formulation; not fully established
Peak time: Not fully established
Storage
Storage depends on formulation (lyophilized powder vs reconstituted solution) and the manufacturer. Follow the product label when available.
- Dry / lyophilized: commonly kept cool, dry, and protected from light.
- Reconstituted: commonly refrigerated and used within the supplier’s stated window.
- Avoid: repeated heat exposure and unnecessary freeze–thaw cycles.
