Overview

CJC-1295 without DAC, also known as Modified GRF (1-29), is a synthetic 29-amino-acid analogue of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Lacking the albumin-binding Drug Affinity Complex of its longer-acting counterpart, it carries a much shorter duration of action, which gives it a research-friendly profile for probing brief, time-resolved receptor events.

In endocrine and secretagogue research models, this analogue has been studied as a GHRH-receptor agonist, particularly for the acute and pulsatile stimulation of growth-hormone release. Its rapid clearance makes it a useful research material for investigators who want to characterize the immediate, transient phase of GHRH signaling rather than the sustained activation associated with DAC-modified versions.

Human data on this compound is minimal and has not been analyzed by sex, so its place in a catalog rests on its value as a mechanistic tool. Whether the studied pathways translate to female physiology remains an open research question; our evidence review tracks how many of the underlying studies included women. Supplied for in-vitro and laboratory research only.

Summary

CJC-1295 without DAC (Modified GRF 1-29) is a short-acting growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog used as a tool compound in secretagogue research. Human data is minimal and not analyzed by sex.

Evidence in women

Menstrual cycle
Unstudied
No menstrual cycle interaction data.
Pregnancy & lactation
Unstudied
No pregnancy or lactation safety data.
Hormonal interactions
Unstudied
The GH axis interacts with estrogen generally, but no study characterizes this for this compound in women.

Unstudied
No data in perimenopausal or menopausal populations.
Sex differences
Unstudied
In the indexed literature, many studies included female subjects and none reported sex-stratified outcomes.

Mechanism

Frequently asked questions

Answers drawn only from CJC-1295 Without DAC's research facts and, where reviewed, its sex-disaggregated evidence. Nothing here is medical advice, dosing, or a claim of safety or efficacy.

What is CJC-1295 Without DAC?

CJC-1295 Without DAC, also known as Mod GRF 1-29, is a research compound in our performance muscle category. CJC-1295 without DAC (Modified GRF 1-29) is a short-acting growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog used as a tool compound in secretagogue research.

Is CJC-1295 Without DAC studied in women?

CJC-1295 Without DAC: of 5 PubMed records, 1 are tagged as including female subjects and 0 carry a sex-analysis tag. We grade this none: no PubMed record for CJC-1295 Without DAC is tagged as including female subjects, so its effects in women are effectively unstudied. That blank is the finding, not a safety signal, and we do not fill it with guesses.

Has CJC-1295 Without DAC been studied during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Unstudied. No pregnancy or lactation safety data. This is not a safety clearance or a recommendation. Vera, our research chat, deliberately hard-stops on pregnancy, breastfeeding, and trying-to-conceive questions rather than answer them.

What evidence grade does CJC-1295 Without DAC have, and why?

CJC-1295 Without DAC carries evidence grade D. Preclinical / animal evidence only across 5 indexed studies. No human trial data.. Grades are derived from the research record, never hand-assigned; see how grades work.

Is there a female-specific dose for CJC-1295 Without DAC?

No. A female-specific dose for CJC-1295 Without DAC is not established, and this site does not provide dosing or medical advice. Any figures we show describe what published research used, not a recommendation. Decide anything about use with a qualified clinician.

How is CJC-1295 Without DAC administered in research?

In the published literature, CJC-1295 Without DAC is administered via subcutaneous. Reported dose ranges on the Dosing tab describe what studies used for laboratory research, not a protocol for people. We don't provide dosing.

What side effects have been reported for CJC-1295 Without DAC?

Effects reported in the research literature include injection-site reactions, transient flushing, water retention. Sex-specific incidence has not been separately analysed in the available records, so these are not broken out for women.

What is the CAS number for CJC-1295 Without DAC?

The CAS registry number for CJC-1295 Without DAC is 863288-34-0. It is also referred to as Mod GRF 1-29, modified GRF (1-29). Use it to confirm identity against a Certificate of Analysis.

How should CJC-1295 Without DAC be stored and handled?

CJC-1295 Without DAC sold for research is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized peptides are generally kept cold and dry, at roughly -20°C for longer-term storage and 2-8°C short-term, protected from light. Once reconstituted they are typically refrigerated and used within a short window, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This is general laboratory handling for research use only, not a directive for human use. Always follow the handling and purity details on the product's Certificate of Analysis.
