CJC-1295 DAC

CJC-1295 with Drug Affinity Complex

CJC-1295 with DAC is a long-acting GHRH analog that includes a Drug Affinity Complex, which binds to albumin in the blood and extends its half-life to approximately 6-8 days. This results in sustained elevation of growth hormone levels rather than pulsatile release. It was developed by ConjuChem Biotechnologies.
Reported Benefits

Potential Benefits

  • Sustained growth hormone elevation with less frequent dosing
  • May support improvements in lean body mass
  • Research suggests potential benefits for fat metabolism
  • May support recovery and tissue repair processes
  • Convenience of less frequent injections compared to non-DAC version
Research Dosing

Recommended Starting Dose

1-2 mg subcutaneously per week
