The Peptific standard

Why researchers buy from Peptific instead of grey-market vendors

Peptide quality is invisible until it isn’t. Lot identity, purity, fill integrity, and chain of custody are the difference between usable research material and wasted budget.

  • Third-party HPLC tested

    Every lot is tested for identity and purity by an independent analytical lab. Certificate of Analysis available on request, tied to the exact lot you receive.

  • Lyophilized and lot-tracked

    Sterile-filtered, freeze-dried, sealed under inert gas. Each vial carries its own lot ID — full chain of custody from fill to delivery.

  • US-based fulfillment

    Orders ship from a temperature-controlled US facility with carrier tracking. No drop-shipping, no opaque overseas relay.

  • Real support, not a ticket queue

    A real person responds to research questions, lot questions, and order questions — usually same business day. No bot triage.

How it works

The CJC-1295 With DAC mechanism

CJC-1295 With DAC stimulates GH secretion by binding and activating GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotropes. The Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) modification enables covalent albumin binding in vivo, extending the half-life from minutes (native GHRH) to approximately 6–8 days. Preclinical and Phase I human data show dose-dependent GH and IGF-1 elevation following single administration.

Product definition

What is CJC-1295 With DAC?

CJC-1295 With DAC is a long-acting GHRH analog with albumin-binding modification that sustains elevated GH and IGF-1 for 6–8 days per administration in preclinical and early clinical research.

CJC-1295 With DAC (also known as DAC:GRF) is a synthetic GHRH analog with a maleimide-modified lysine residue that forms a covalent bond with serum albumin following administration. This albumin-binding mechanism — the Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) technology — dramatically extends plasma half-life and produces a sustained pulsatile GH secretion pattern over approximately one week per dose. The compound was investigated in Phase I/II clinical studies by ConjuChem Inc., where it demonstrated dose-dependent GH and IGF-1 elevation with a half-life of approximately 6–8 days in human volunteers. The research profile documents its utility in sustained GH axis stimulation, with potential applications in body composition research, metabolic studies, and investigations of GH-dependent anabolic signaling pathways.

Research audience

Who studies CJC-1295 With DAC?

CJC-1295 With DAC is used by researchers studying the growth hormone axis, GHRH receptor pharmacology, sustained GH secretion protocols, GH-dependent metabolic signaling, and body composition mechanisms. It is particularly valuable in protocols requiring sustained GH elevation without frequent compound administration.

Research context

What does the preclinical literature say about CJC-1295 With DAC?

CJC-1295 With DAC was developed by ConjuChem using their Drug Affinity Complex technology, which was designed to extend the half-life of peptide therapeutics through in-vivo albumin binding. The compound was taken through Phase I and early Phase II human trials before development was discontinued for commercial reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy signals. The published pharmacokinetic data from these studies represents the most rigorous human-subject characterization of a long-acting GHRH analog in the open literature. Dose-dependent GH and IGF-1 responses were confirmed across multiple dose cohorts, with a mean half-life of 6–8 days and GH AUC increases ranging from approximately 2-fold at low doses to 10-fold at higher doses. In preclinical research, CJC-1295 With DAC has been studied in contexts including muscle mass preservation, GH-dependent metabolic effects, and GH axis modulation in aging models. The compound remains a reference standard in GH secretagogue research due to the availability of published pharmacokinetic data.

Common questions

What is the difference between CJC-1295 With DAC and Without DAC?
CJC-1295 With DAC has the maleimide-lysine modification that enables albumin binding and a ~6–8 day half-life. CJC-1295 Without DAC (also called MOD GRF 1-29) lacks this modification and has a half-life of approximately 30 minutes. With DAC produces a sustained, blunted GH elevation; Without DAC produces a sharp pulsatile GH release closer to the physiological pattern.
Has CJC-1295 With DAC been studied in humans?
Yes. ConjuChem conducted Phase I and early Phase II clinical trials with CJC-1295 With DAC in human volunteers, producing published pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. This human-subject data is available in the published literature and is one of the distinguishing features of this compound's research profile compared to many other GHRH analogs.
What is the GH secretion pattern produced by CJC-1295 With DAC?
The albumin-binding mechanism produces a sustained, gradual elevation in baseline GH and IGF-1 rather than the sharp pulsatile spikes associated with short-acting GHRH analogs. Researchers studying chronic GH axis stimulation or GH-dependent downstream signaling over extended observation windows use CJC-1295 With DAC specifically for this sustained profile.
