CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg is a lyophilized modified growth hormone-releasing factor research product manufactured by Peptide Hubs and supplied as a 5 mg/vial powder in a 2 mL vial.
CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg contains Modified GRF (1-29), also known as Mod GRF 1-29 or CJC-1295 without DAC. This synthetic peptide is a tetra-substituted analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), consisting of the first 29 amino acids of the native hormone with four strategic substitutions designed to resist enzymatic degradation. The four substitutions—D-Ala at position 2, Gln at position 8, Ala at position 15, and Leu at position 27—enhance stability against dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) and other peptidases.
Unlike CJC-1295 with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex), this no-DAC version lacks the albumin-binding moiety that extends half-life to days. Mod GRF 1-29 has a short half-life of approximately 25-30 minutes, producing a discrete growth hormone pulse that more closely mimics the body's natural pulsatile GH secretion pattern. The peptide acts by binding to GHRH receptors on the anterior pituitary, activating cAMP-dependent signaling pathways that stimulate GH synthesis and release.
In non-medical bodybuilding and research contexts, CJC-1295 No DAC is commonly referenced for its potential to stimulate endogenous GH release, often in combination with ghrelin receptor agonists such as ipamorelin for synergistic effects. However, CJC-1295-related substances have not been approved by the FDA for any indication, and the agency has raised significant concerns regarding their safety and characterization.
CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a 2 mL vial. Reconstitution with an appropriate solvent is required before use in research contexts.
Mod GRF 1-29 is a 29-amino-acid peptide with a molecular weight of approximately 3,367.9 g/mol and the molecular formula C₁₅₂H₂₅₂N₄₄O₄₂.
Mod GRF 1-29 belongs to the class of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogs, which stimulate GH secretion through direct activation of pituitary GHRH receptors. This mechanism is distinct from ghrelin receptor agonists such as ipamorelin or GHRP-6, which act through a different receptor pathway.
The four amino acid substitutions in Mod GRF 1-29 are specifically designed to address stability limitations of native GHRH(1-29). The D-Ala substitution at position 2 confers resistance to DPP-4 cleavage, while the Gln at position 8 prevents asparagine deamidation. The Ala at position 15 and Leu at position 27 further enhance peptide stability and bioactivity. These modifications result in a peptide that, while still short-acting, is more resistant to rapid degradation than the unmodified fragment.
In non-medical bodybuilding contexts, Mod GRF 1-29 is commonly referenced for stimulating pulsatile GH release, with users typically dosing multiple times daily to mimic natural GH rhythms. The Frontiers in Endocrinology review notes that claims about CJC-1295 without DAC rest on extrapolation rather than direct human data, and clinicians should treat exposure to these compounds as evidence-poor.
Mod GRF 1-29 is distinguished by its short half-life of approximately 25-30 minutes, which produces a discrete GH pulse rather than sustained elevation. This contrasts with CJC-1295 with DAC, which has a half-life of up to 8 days and produces more sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation.
Peptide Hubs offers several research peptides targeting growth hormone pathways. Within this lineup, Ipamorelin is commonly discussed alongside Mod GRF 1-29 for its synergistic GH-releasing properties, acting through the ghrelin receptor rather than the GHRH receptor.
For a combined GHRH and GHRP product, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin represents a pre-mixed blend, while Tesamorelin is a longer-acting GHRH analog with FDA approval for a specific medical indication. For research requiring a reconstitution solution, Bacteriostatic Water is the standard diluent for preparing lyophilized peptides like CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg.

The information below is provided for educational reference only. CJC-1295 No DAC is not an FDA-approved human drug. Its use for any non-medical purpose falls outside approved indications, and no established human dosing regimen exists.
Because Mod GRF 1-29 lacks FDA approval and published human dose-finding trials for its intended research applications, there is no medically established dosage range. In non-medical bodybuilding and research communities, reference ranges are derived from community convention. Commonly referenced ranges are 100–300 mcg per injection, administered 1–3 times daily.
| Use Case | Common Reference Range | Injection Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Standard protocol (non-medical) | 100–200 mcg | 1–3 times daily |
| Combined with ipamorelin (non-medical) | 100–200 mcg CJC + 100–200 mcg IPA | 1–2 times daily |
| Upper range (non-medical) | 300 mcg | Once daily |
Community protocols commonly reference dosing in a fasted state, typically before bed and/or post-workout to align with natural GH pulses.
CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg is supplied as a lyophilized powder and requires reconstitution before use. A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of solvent yields a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), meaning a 100 mcg dose would require drawing 0.04 mL (4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe).
Reconstituted solution should be stored refrigerated at 2–8°C and protected from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
In non-medical bodybuilding contexts, Mod GRF 1-29 is frequently combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH release, as the two peptides target different receptors—the GHRH receptor and the ghrelin receptor, respectively. Cycle lengths commonly referenced range from 8 to 12 weeks on, followed by a 4-week break.
For research requiring a pre-mixed combination, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin offers a convenient alternative, though the ratio and concentration differ from self-prepared blends.
No human dose-response data for therapeutic outcomes exists for CJC-1295 No DAC. All dosage information is derived from community convention and should not be interpreted as medical guidance.
CJC-1295 No DAC is not FDA-approved for any human use. The FDA has evaluated CJC-1295-related bulk drug substances and found that available safety and characterization data are insufficient to support compounding.
The FDA has raised significant concerns about CJC-1295-related substances, including the no-DAC form. The agency noted that CJC-1295 (free base) is not well-characterized due to inconsistent naming conventions and absent critical data on impurities, aggregates, and endotoxins. Injectable routes of administration present particular immunogenicity risks due to potential peptide aggregation and impurities.
Elevated GH and IGF-1 levels carry known risks, including those listed in FDA-approved recombinant human growth hormone product labeling. The FDA noted it has not identified data suggesting CJC-1295-related substances would not present similar risks.
CJC-1295 No DAC is marketed as a research peptide and has been identified in unknown pharmaceutical preparations seized by authorities. It is on the WADA Prohibited List under S2. Non-medical use falls outside approved indications.
Clinical studies of CJC-1295 with DAC (a related but distinct compound) reported injection site reactions in approximately 70% of subjects after a single dose and in all subjects after multiple doses. Other reported effects included headache, diarrhea, flushing, nausea, abdominal pain, transient dizziness, hypotension, and increased heart rate.
A phase 2 clinical trial of CJC-1295 DAC was terminated in 2006 following the death of a subject who experienced an acute myocardial infarction approximately 2 hours after receiving an 11th weekly dose. The attending physician attributed the event to asymptomatic coronary artery disease with plaque rupture and occlusion.
Community discussions of CJC-1295 No DAC mention potential water retention, joint stiffness, and numbness/tingling in extremities, though these reports are anecdotal.
Given the absence of comprehensive human safety data for CJC-1295 No DAC, any consideration of its use should involve consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Individuals with a history of cancer or strong family history of malignancy should exercise particular caution due to the theoretical risks of elevated IGF-1.
No established monitoring protocol exists for non-medical CJC-1295 No DAC use. Clinicians evaluating patients using GH-related peptides should consider monitoring IGF-1 levels, blood glucose, and potential injection site reactions.

Answers to common questions about CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg, Mod GRF 1-29, and research peptide handling.
CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg contains Modified GRF (1-29), a GHRH analog studied for its potential to stimulate endogenous growth hormone release. In non-medical bodybuilding contexts, it is commonly referenced for GH pulse stimulation and recovery support, though such use falls outside approved indications.
No established human dosing schedule exists. Community protocols commonly reference 1–3 daily subcutaneous injections due to the short half-life of approximately 25-30 minutes.
CJC-1295 No DAC does not suppress endogenous testosterone production and does not require post-cycle therapy in the way anabolic steroids do. However, any non-medical peptide use should be approached with caution given the absence of comprehensive human safety data.
Mod GRF 1-29 is a synthetic GHRH analog that binds to GHRH receptors on the anterior pituitary, stimulating growth hormone synthesis and release through cAMP-dependent signaling pathways.
Pharmacokinetically, Mod GRF 1-29 has a short half-life of approximately 25-30 minutes, producing a discrete GH pulse after administration. Community reports suggest sleep quality and recovery improvements may appear over 1–3 weeks of consistent use.
There is no universally “best” GHRH analog. Mod GRF 1-29 produces a pulsatile GH release due to its short half-life, which some describe as more physiologic, while longer-acting analogs such as CJC-1295 with DAC produce sustained elevation.
Mod GRF 1-29 acts through the GHRH receptor, while Ipamorelin acts through the ghrelin receptor. They target different pathways and are sometimes combined for synergistic GH release in non-medical protocols, but they are not interchangeable.
CJC-1295 No DAC lacks the Drug Affinity Complex that extends half-life, resulting in a short half-life of approximately 25-30 minutes. CJC-1295 with DAC has a half-life of up to 8 days, requiring only 1–2 injections per week but producing more sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation.
300 mcg is at the upper end of the range commonly referenced in community protocols (100–300 mcg per injection). The GH response to GHRH analogs is described as saturable, meaning higher doses do not necessarily produce proportionally greater effects.
CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg is labeled at 5 mg of Mod GRF 1-29 per vial. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a 2 mL vial.
Yes. A published laboratory report dated September 29, 2025 measured CJC-1295 No DAC 5 mg at 4.78 mg, equivalent to 95.6% of its 5 mg label claim. The batch number is CJCND8.
