Growth-hormone peptide
CJC-1295
CJC-1295, a growth-hormone-releasing research peptide studied for muscle, recovery and body composition, often paired with ipamorelin. Third-party tested.
Body Pharm CJC 1295 with DAC 2 Vial is our recommended research peptide for South African buyers prioritising batch-verified documentation and cold-chain handling. Listed InStock, this long-acting format binds albumin to extend half-life to several days. The without-DAC alternative (Mod GRF 1-29) requires different dosing patterns. These formats are not interchangeable. Compare products using Certificates of Analysis rather than marketing claims alone [1][2].

CJC 1295 at a glance
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) developed for research into pituitary stimulation and IGF-1 elevation [1].
Body Pharm CJC 1295 with DAC 2 Vial sits InStock and carries SKU bpcjc1295 (BeSkinny product data, 2026); see the product page for the current price. The Drug Affinity Complex binds albumin and stretches half-life across several days. The without-DAC format (Mod GRF 1-29) clears within minutes [1][2].
BeSkinny holds this stock alongside HD Labs alternatives, with batch-level third-party testing for purity and identity. Certificates of Analysis appear on product pages or via email request. We ship South Africa only, managing cold-chain integrity from storage through dispatch.
CJC-1295 with DAC vs without DAC
These formats differ chemically and functionally. The Drug Affinity Complex in the with-DAC version tethers to albumin, extending half-life from minutes to days [1][2].
| Feature | CJC-1295 with DAC | CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) |
|---|---|---|
| DAC status | Contains Drug Affinity Complex | No DAC; also called Mod GRF 1-29 |
| What the name tells the buyer | Long-acting format; single-dose GH/IGF-1 elevation lasting days | Short-acting format; requires more frequent administration |
| Half-life in 2006 human data | 5.8–8.1 days [1] | Minutes (no albumin tether) [2] |
| Product-format implications | Extended GH/IGF-1 profile per dose | Pulsatile dosing typically described in research contexts |
| Documentation to request | CoA must specify "with DAC" or "CJC-1295 DAC" | CoA must specify "without DAC", "Mod GRF 1-29" or "CJC-1295 no DAC" |
| What the label alone cannot establish | Purity percentage, identity confirmation, batch-matched testing, or clinical outcomes for any specific buyer | Same limitations; format name ≠ quality verification |
Labels reading merely "CJC-1295" without DAC status leave buyers guessing which analogue fills the vial. We list Body Pharm CJC 1295 with DAC 2 Vial with explicit format naming. Buyers comparing growth-hormone-related alternatives or NAD+ options should confirm matching format designations.
PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov contain no 2024–2026 primary human trials comparing these formats for body composition or recovery [3][4]. Claims that one format outperforms the other for muscle gain, fat loss or sleep quality in 2026 lack fresh clinical evidence. The 2005–2006 pharmacokinetic studies remain the authoritative human data [1][2].
CJC-1295 benefits: what is established?
Merchant and forum claims, improved recovery, sleep quality, fat loss, muscle gain, "anti-ageing", lack 2024–2026 human clinical trial support for body composition or athletic outcomes [3][4][11]. Primary literature documents only transient growth hormone and IGF-1 elevation in healthy adults after single-dose administration, drawn from 2005–2006 pharmacokinetic studies [1][2].
What the 2006 human data actually showed
Teichman et al. (2006) reported that a single subcutaneous dose of CJC-1295 with DAC raised mean plasma GH 2- to 10-fold for six or more days and IGF-1 1.5- to 3-fold for 9–11 days in healthy volunteers [1]. Ionescu and Frohman (2006) confirmed pulsatile GH secretion persisted during continuous stimulation [2]. Neither study measured body composition, muscle hypertrophy, fat mass, exercise recovery or sleep quality.
Where claims and evidence diverge
| Claim encountered in 2026 | What primary evidence supports | What remains unverified |
|---|---|---|
| "Increases GH and IGF-1" | Transient elevation in healthy adults (2006) [1] | Sustained elevation with repeated dosing; individual variation |
| "Builds muscle" | No 2024–2026 human trials located [3][4] | Hypertrophy outcomes in resistance-trained populations |
| "Burns fat" | No 2024–2026 human trials located [3][4] | Body-composition changes vs. placebo-controlled diet |
| "Improves recovery" | Not studied in primary literature reviewed | Athletic recovery metrics, injury healing rates |
| "Better sleep" | Not measured in 2006 PK studies | Polysomnography or validated sleep-quality instruments |
How we position Body Pharm CJC 1295 with DAC
We list Body Pharm CJC 1295 with DAC 2 Vial as a research peptide with documented third-party purity testing and Certificate of Analysis availability. We do not equate GH/IGF-1 elevation with proven muscle, fat-loss or recovery outcomes for individual buyers. Those seeking our semaglutide range should consult our semaglutide buyer's guide.
Evidence boundaries for South African buyers
No 2024–2026 randomised human trials establish CJC-1295 as effective for the body-composition or performance claims common in 2026 merchant materials [3][4][6][11]. Buyers should treat "CJC-1295 benefits" as a research-interest category, not a consumer guarantee. Medical questions require a qualified prescriber. Our About page explains documentation handling and cold-chain dispatch, not clinical advice.
