Understand this compound
What is CJC-1295?
Limited human dataa.k.a. CJC-1295 (with or without DAC)A lab-made, longer-lasting version of the brain signal that tells your pituitary gland to release growth hormone. Studied as a way to keep growth-hormone output raised for days at a time instead of minutes.
Good to know: Only limited, early-phase human data exist, and the long-term safety of sustained, non-pulsatile GH elevation is not established.
How does CJC-1295 work?
The science
A long-acting analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH); binds pituitary GHRH receptors to stimulate GH secretion. The DAC form covalently binds serum albumin, extending half-life from minutes to about 6-8 days.
Mechanism of action from published research — how the molecule behaves, not a claim about any product or any human-use effect.
What is CJC-1295 researched for?
Studied for sustained elevation of GH/IGF-1 in research related to growth hormone deficiency-like states, body composition, and aging.
- Growth hormone supportStudied for how it interacts with the body's own growth-hormone axis in research settings.
- Muscle & performanceStudied in muscle-growth, repair, and physical-performance research.
How far has the research gone?
Limited human data; small Phase 1 trials showed dose-dependent GH/IGF-1 elevation, but it never progressed to FDA approval.
Where the science stands — an approved drug is not the same as the research-grade material a vendor sells, which is unregulated regardless.
What should I check before buying?
- Independent purity. Look for a third-party COA (Janoshik or MZ) showing a measured purity — not just a number the vendor typed.
- Batch match. The strongest evidence is a certificate for the exact batch you’ll receive, attributed to this vendor — check the cross-verification on the listing.
- Vendor reputation. See how the vendor is talked about in the community before trusting a new name.
Research context only — VialGrade never gives dosing, medical, or human-use guidance.

Real $/active mg divides the price-per-mg by the measured purity — the honest cost of the actual peptide, so a 90%-pure vial isn’t compared as if it were 99%. Too cheap? flags a listing far below the market rate — often underdosing or a fake, not a deal. The crown marks the cheapest non-outlier; best value marks the lowest real cost per active mg. A vendor shown as Unavailable or Low stock is priced here but not currently buyable.
Independent testing
CJC-1295 — independent lab tests
Real, publicly verifiable third-party tests. Purity is read from the certificate itself. A test reflects one lab’s result for one submitted batch — not a guarantee that every vial matches.
How does this data get here?
Every record below is a real certificate of analysis, gathered two ways: from the public verification feeds that independent labs (like Janoshik) publish, and from the certificates vendors post on their own product pages. We open each certificate document and read the measured purity, content, batch, and date directly off it — a scraper can’t read a number printed inside an image, so this is done by machine vision, then recorded here with a link back to the original.
Nothing here is typed in by a vendor or invented by us. Where a certificate is missing, we say so rather than filling the gap.
We re-check the lab feed, too. A “still listed” tag means the certificate is currently public in Janoshik’s database — we re-verify against the live feed and stamp the date. If a cert is later pulled, the tag flips. It’s a freshness check on the same source, not a second independent opinion.
What a certificate does & doesn’t prove
Three different questions. Purity (“how clean?”), identity (“is it the right molecule?”, a mass-spec test), and content (“did I get the labeled mg?”) are separate. A vial can be 99% pure and still be the wrong peptide, or the right peptide underdosed. We flag the measured dose against the label above; underdosing is the most common real fraud.
Who submitted the sample matters. Most of these are vendor-submitted — the seller chose which vial to send, so one good certificate doesn’t prove every batch is the same. The gold standard is a blind test, where a buyer sends a vial they bought as a normal customer. Same label doesn’t prove same product; same batch number doesn’t prove same batch.

What the research says
Scientific evidence & regulatory status
What the published literature actually shows about CJC-1295 — separate from any vendor’s marketing. Each finding links to its paper. This is education, not medical or dosing advice.
Regulatory status
No FDA-approved drug
Not FDA-approved; sold for research use only. FDA placed CJC-1295 in category 2 (significant safety risks) for pharmacy compounding, citing immunogenicity risk by some routes and peptide-related impurities; the nomination was later withdrawn, so it now sits on no FDA bulks list.
Honest overall read
Small, biomarker-focused, roughly two-decade-old human trials show CJC-1295 durably raises GH and IGF-1 and was well tolerated short-term, but there is no robust long-term human evidence for efficacy or safety, and it is not approved.
In healthy adults, a single subcutaneous dose of CJC-1295 raised GH 2-10 fold for 6+ days and IGF-1 1.5-3 fold for 9-11 days (half-life ~6-8 days), with weekly/biweekly dosing keeping IGF-1 above baseline up to 28 days.
No serious adverse reactions in this small early trial, but it was not designed to assess long-term safety of sustained GH/IGF-1 elevation.
read the sourceIn 11 healthy young men, a single CJC-1295 injection altered the serum protein profile one week later (e.g., decreased apolipoprotein A1 and transthyretin), changes that correlated with GH/IGF-1 activation.
Very small biomarker study; the clinical meaning of these protein changes and any long-term risks are unknown.

Compounds the research community frequently discusses alongside CJC-1295. Not a protocol or a recommendation — a starting point for what to read about next.
Research-use-only — not FDA-approved
Sold “for research use only,” this compound is not FDA-approved for human use and has not been evaluated for safety, purity, or sterility in people. It is generally not a scheduled controlled substance, so buying it as a research chemical is typically not itself a drug crime — but marketing or using it as a drug is not lawful, and it is not a dietary supplement.
