CJC-1295 (no DAC) / Mod GRF 1-29
Shorter-acting GH booster that releases growth hormone in natural pulses. Clears faster without DAC, so it's usually paired with another GH peptide for stronger effect.
Key Facts
- ClassificationModified GRF (1-29), a truncated GHRH analog with substitutions at positions 2, 8, 15, and 27 for enhanced receptor affinity and DPP-IV resistance.
- Primary BenefitsMuscle Growth (7/10) · Fat Loss (6/10) · Longevity (4/10)
- AdministrationInjection
- Typical Dose100 mcg subq 2-3 times daily, ideally paired with a GH-releasing peptide like Ipamorelin. Cycle for 8-12 weeks.

Top benefits
Week 1–2
Improved sleep quality, especially deeper sleep. Subtle increase in morning energy. GH pulses become more pronounced.
Week 3–6
Enhanced recovery between workouts. Mild fat loss beginning. Improved skin elasticity and hydration. Better overall sense of vitality.
Week 8+
Meaningful body composition changes. Connective tissue strengthening. Sustained energy improvements. Best results when combined with a GHRP like Ipamorelin.
Common Side Effects
Scientific Overview
Modified GRF (1-29), a truncated GHRH analog with substitutions at positions 2, 8, 15, and 27 for enhanced receptor affinity and DPP-IV resistance. ~30-minute half-life produces acute GH pulses mimicking physiological secretion. Often combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic pituitary stimulation.
Dosing
100 mcg subq 2-3 times daily, ideally paired with a GH-releasing peptide like Ipamorelin. Cycle for 8-12 weeks.

Stacks Well With
Ipamorelin
One of the cleanest GH boosters. Stimulates growth hormone release without affecting cortisol or prolactin, meaning fewer side effects than other GH peptides.
GHRP-6
GH booster that significantly increases appetite by mimicking ghrelin. Good for bulking or anyone who struggles to eat enough.
GHRP-2
Stronger GH release than GHRP-6, with more moderate appetite increase. Raises both GH and IGF-1, though it can slightly bump cortisol and prolactin.
