GH secretagogue

CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29)

Limited human data

Tetra-substituted GHRH (1-29) with no Drug Affinity Complex, so it clears in roughly 30 minutes and produces a single discrete GH pulse.

No regulator and no trial set these numbers. They describe what people actually do, recorded so you can see the range rather than guess at it — which is not the same thing as a recommendation.

Reconstitution

What to draw, at the usual vial

A 2 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 1.00 mg/mL. A typical 100 mcg dose is 0.100 mL — pull the plunger to 10 units on a U-100 syringe.

The highlighted row is the one quoted above: the smallest listed vial that holds at least four typical doses. Change any of it — a different vial, more or less water, a different dose — on the reconstitution calculator, which draws the syringe to true U-100 graduations.

Mechanism & evidence

What it is, and what is known

Tetra-substituted GHRH (1-29) with no Drug Affinity Complex, so it clears in roughly 30 minutes and produces a single discrete GH pulse. That short half-life is the whole point: it is dosed once to three times daily, typically around 100 mcg (roughly 1-2 mcg/kg, a saturating pulse dose) on an empty stomach, and is paired with a ghrelin agonist such as ipamorelin. It is NOT an approved medicine; the closest approved comparators are sermorelin and tesamorelin.

Consumer supply is research-chemical grade and dosing convention comes from practice, not from a label.

Tolerability

Reported side effects

  • Injection site redness, itching or a short-lived welt
  • Head rush, flushing or warmth in the minutes after injection
  • Mild water retention
  • Tingling or numbness in the hands
  • Drowsiness when dosed pre-bed

Hard stops

Do not use this if

  • Pregnancy, possible pregnancy, or breastfeeding
  • Active, suspected or recently treated malignancy
  • Under 18

These are flags, not a screening. They do not replace a conversation with a clinician who knows your history.
