Growth Hormone
CJC-1295 (with DAC)
CJC-1295 with DAC is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog modified with a Drug Affinity Complex that binds to albumin, extending its plasma half-life to approximately 6-8 days. It stimulates pulsatile growth hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary while preserving the natural GH release pattern. This prolonged activity makes it suitable for less frequent dosing compared to unmodified GHRH analogs.
