Mechanism

GHRH(1-29) analog that binds GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs, stimulating synthesis and pulsatile secretion of endogenous growth hormone.

Overview

CJC-1295 without DAC (also called Mod GRF 1-29) is a modified GHRH analog that stimulates pulsatile growth hormone release from the pituitary. Without the Drug Affinity Complex it has a short half-life, preserving natural GH pulsatility. It is most commonly stacked with Ipamorelin.
