CJC-1295 is a synthetic peptide derivative of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH).1 Unlike CJC-1295-DAC, CJC-1295 does not contain a drug affinity complex (DAC) moiety and has a shorter half-life than the DAC-conjugated version in the blood.2 CJC-1295 increases the secretion of growth hormone in primary rat anterior pituitary cells when used from picomolar to micromolar concentrations and into rat blood when administered subcutaneously at a dose of 1 μmol/kg.1
