Key facts

CJC-1295 without DAC, also known as Mod GRF (1-29), is a synthetic analogue of the first 29 amino acids of human GHRH — the fragment that carries the hormone's activity on its own.

Four substitutions set it apart from the natural sequenceD-Ala2, which protects it from DPP-4 degradation, plus Gln8, Ala15 and Leu27, which improve its stability. The result is a half-life of about thirty minutes, against a few minutes for native GHRH.

In detail

The whole difference with CJC-1295 with DAC lies in what is missing: the Drug Affinity Complex, which binds the molecule to albumin and stretches its half-life to several days. Without it, action stays brief — and that is precisely what protocols seeking to preserve the natural pulsatility of growth hormone secretion are after, rather than flattening it.

This vial delivers 10 mg of CJC-1295 without DAC at HPLC purity of at least 98%. For research use only.

The volume of water does not change the product, only its concentration. Add the water slowly along the vial wall, then swirl without shaking.

  1. Asepsis

    Disinfect surfaces and stoppers (70% alcohol).

  2. Solvent

    Draw the required volume of bacteriostatic water.

  3. Introduction

    Add gently against the vial wall (avoid a direct jet on the powder).

  4. Solubilization

    Roll the vial gently. Do not shake vigorously (degradation risk).

Solution storage Once reconstituted: 2-8°C (refrigerator).

What is normal on arrivalThe observations that worry customers, and are not defects
  • The amount of powder looks tiny. A lyophilisate takes up a few millimetres at the bottom of the vial, sometimes just a translucent film. The stated weight is there.
  • The powder is compact, stuck to the wall or to the stopper. Transport moves the freeze-dried cake around. It changes nothing to reconstitution.
  • The vial carries no individual label. That is our standard packaging, not a downgraded vial.
  • After reconstitution, deposits or filaments appear. This is common, especially with small molecules. Let it settle and roll the vial between your palms, never shake it.
  • The parcel is plain. Nothing on the outside indicates the contents or the brand name.

What is not normal: a cracked vial, an uncrimped cap or a stopper that moves, powder that has liquefied or changed colour. In those specific cases, write to us with a photo and we take the vial back.

The vial is then full up to the neckThis is normal, it holds 3 ml at most. The 3 ml bacteriostatic water vial is enough.

Documented pairing. CJC-1295 without DAC combined with Ipamorelin is the most described secretagogue protocol in research literature, the two molecules acting on different receptors.

Storage & handling

Unreconstituted lyophilised vial: stable for several months between 2 and 8 °C, several years at -20 °C, protected from light. Ambient-temperature transport does not degrade it.

After reconstitution: refrigerated between 2 and 8 °C, protected from light. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol in bacteriostatic water allows repeated draws over several weeks. Never freeze a reconstituted solution.

At 3 ml for 10 mg, a vial is drawn from over a long periodThis is precisely the case where asepsis quality at each draw matters most. A fresh needle every time, a disinfected septum every time.

Mechanism of action

GHRH acts on the GHRH-R receptor of somatotroph cells in the anterior pituitary, a G-protein coupled receptor. Its activation raises intracellular cyclic AMP, activates protein kinase A and triggers both the release of stored growth hormone and the transcription of its gene.

The D-Ala2 modification is the decisive one: it blocks the cleavage site of dipeptidyl peptidase-4, the enzyme that inactivates native GHRH within minutes. The other three substitutions limit oxidation and aggregation in solution.

The point that explains the frequent pairing with a GHRP such as Ipamorelin: the two families act on distinct receptors — GHRH-R on one side, GHS-R1a on the other — and through different signalling pathways. The literature describes a response greater than the sum of each taken alone, which is the documented basis for this combination.

By keeping a short action, the DAC-free analogue also lets somatostatin, the axis's physiological brake, express itself, which preserves the pulsatile character of secretion.

Studies and references

GHRH has been characterised since the 1980s and its 1-29 fragment, the shortest to retain full activity, is the basis of several analogues. Sermorelin, unmodified GHRH 1-29, was marketed as a diagnostic agent for somatotroph function, which solidly documents the overall mechanism.

Work on CJC-1295 clearly distinguishes the two versions. The version with DAC was the subject of early-phase trials showing sustained IGF-1 elevation over several days. The version without DAC, this one, is by contrast overwhelmingly documented in research literature and preclinical work, not by dedicated clinical trials.

Pairing with a GHRP is the best-described pointThe combined effect of a GHRH analogue and a secretagogue acting on GHS-R1a is reported as greater than each taken alone, which remains consistent with the duality of signalling pathways.

Frequently asked questions

How much water to reconstitute the 10 mg vial?
3 ml of bacteriostatic water, giving 3.33 mg/ml. On a U-100 syringe, 100 mcg then reads as 3 units and 250 mcg as 7.5 units. The vial is then full up to the neck: this is normal, it holds 3 ml at most. The 3 ml water vial is enough.
What is the difference with CJC-1295 with DAC?
The affinity complex, and nothing else. With DAC, the molecule binds albumin and its half-life reaches several days, producing continuous elevation. Without DAC, it acts over about thirty minutes, which preserves the natural pulsatility of secretion. Two different profiles, not an inferior version.
Why is it so often paired with Ipamorelin?
Because both act on distinct receptors: GHRH-R for CJC-1295, GHS-R1a for Ipamorelin. Research literature describes a combined response greater than each taken alone, which is why this pair is the most documented secretagogue protocol.
Are Mod GRF (1-29) and CJC-1295 without DAC the same thing?
Yes. Both names designate the same peptide: GHRH 1-29 modified at four positions, without affinity complex. "Mod GRF (1-29)" is the descriptive name, "CJC-1295 without DAC" the most widespread commercial one. The confusion arises because the CJC-1295 name also designates the DAC version, which is a different molecule.
Must the solution be perfectly clear?
A light, uniform haze may appear and is not a defect. What justifies discarding a vial is particles that stay in suspension, a deposit that will not redissolve despite cold rest, or a yellow colour.
