Also known as CJC1295

CJC-1295 is a long-acting growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue studied for sustained GH and IGF-1 stimulation. [1]

Start with the research

An outcome-specific synthesis has not been prepared for this compound. This is a coverage gap, not evidence that it has no effect.

Open studies and trial records
Uses & research

Placebo-controlled studies in healthy adults aged 21–61 measured GH, IGF-1 and pharmacokinetics after injections under the skin. [1]

Known half-life

Estimated at 5.8–8.1 days for the long-acting CJC-1295 studied in these human trials. [1]

Half-life describes how quickly the measured drug concentration falls by half. It does not set a dosing interval.
Evidence & important limits

The trials measured hormone changes; they did not establish muscle-gain or longevity benefits. The long-acting study value must not be applied to products labeled “no DAC”. [1]

Safety & evidence boundaries

Source-specific information, not a personal safety clearance or monitoring plan.

The trials measured hormone changes; they did not establish muscle-gain or longevity benefits. The long-acting study value must not be applied to products labeled “no DAC”.

Explore safety questions by system

These are literature filters, not claims that this compound causes each effect. A keyword match is not a confirmed adverse reaction.

Interactions, rare harms, long-term effects and reversibility require separate evidence. Do not infer they are absent when the sources here do not address them.

Identity, names & formulations

Canonical compound: CJC-1295 · cjc1295

Searchable names: CJC1295

Names share a parent research page. Different esters, salts, routes and brands are not assumed to have the same half-life, indication or exposure.

Combination evidence stays attached to the studied combination. It is not automatically assigned to each ingredient.

Understand the evidence types

Read the model and design first, then the population, outcome and limitations. These categories describe evidence, not a best-compound ranking.

Randomized human trials
Compare assigned interventions. Randomization does not by itself establish low bias or relevance to every population.
Controlled human studies
Use a comparison group; allocation and confounding still matter.
Prospective human research
Follows participants forward. It may be observational or interventional, so this is not a separate quality grade.
Observational human research
Describes associations. Confounding can explain differences.
Case reports and series
Useful for unusual events and safety signals, not reliable rates or effect sizes.
Animal research
Can test biology and function in a living model. Human exposure, benefit and safety remain separate questions.
Cell and tissue research
Tests responses in a preparation, including human-derived cells. It is not a human participant trial.
Mechanistic and computational evidence
Helps explain or predict a pathway; predictions need experimental and clinical testing.
Anecdotal reports
Self-reported experiences can generate questions. Product identity, selection bias and other interventions may be uncontrolled.

Systematic reviews synthesize studies and depend on their quality. Preprint status and abstract versus full-paper reading are separate labels. Citation popularity measures attention, not reliability. A study summary is not a formal quality appraisal.
