CJC-1295 with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) modified to bind to serum albumin, significantly extending its half-life. This prolonged activity allows for sustained stimulation of growth hormone release and elevated IGF-1 levels, which have been studied for their roles in metabolism, tissue repair, and body composition.

  • DESCRIPTION
  • STORAGE
  • REFERENCES

CJC-1295 with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) is a long-acting growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue designed to stimulate and sustain the release of growth hormone (GH). Compared to CJC-1295 No DAC, which has a short half-life (~30 minutes), the addition of the Drug Affinity Complex extends the peptide’s half-life to approximately 6–8 days, allowing for once- or twice-weekly administration. This modification provides steady elevation of GH and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, making it highly useful in research focused on metabolic health, regeneration, and anti-aging.

Structure

  • Type: Tetrasubstituted GHRH analogue with DAC modification
  • Molecular Weight: ~3,642 Da (approximate)
  • Half-life: 6–8 days
  • Mechanism: GHRH receptor agonist, sustained GH release through albumin binding

Research

Growth Hormone & IGF-1 Stimulation

CJC-1295 with DAC binds to the GHRH receptor, enhancing pituitary GH release. The DAC modification allows the peptide to bind serum albumin, significantly prolonging its half-life. Clinical studies in humans have shown:

  • 2- to 10-fold increases in GH levels
  • Sustained IGF-1 elevation for up to 14 days after injection
  • Improved GH pulsatility compared to baseline

Muscle Growth & Recovery

Sustained GH and IGF-1 release have been associated with:

  • Increased lean muscle mass
  • Decreased adiposity
  • Improved protein synthesis and nitrogen retention
  • Enhanced recovery from muscle and connective tissue injury

Metabolic & Anti-Aging Effects

Research suggests GH and IGF-1 stimulation may support:

  • Improved lipid metabolism
  • Skin and connective tissue rejuvenation
  • Cognitive and energy benefits associated with GH restoration in age-related decline

Safety Profile

CJC-1295 with DAC is generally well tolerated in studies. Reported side effects include transient injection site reactions and mild water retention. Because of its long half-life, dosing must be carefully managed to avoid excessive GH/IGF-1 exposure.

Summary

CJC-1295 with DAC is a long-acting GHRH analogue that delivers sustained GH release for up to a week. Compared to the short-acting No DAC version, it provides:

  • Prolonged half-life via albumin binding
  • Sustained GH and IGF-1 elevations
  • Potential research benefits in muscle growth, fat metabolism, tissue regeneration, and aging

This peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture. For long-term preservation, keep unopened vials at −20 °C. After reconstitution, prepare solutions under sterile conditions, refrigerate at 2–8 °C, and use promptly. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
