CJC-1295 for Growth Hormone: What the Research Says

Some human pharmacology studies; not an approved therapy.Updated August 2026

CJC-1295 (also known as Modified GRF 1-29, DAC:GRF) is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog studied for GH support. This page covers what the published research does — and does not — establish about it in relation to growth-hormone support.

What the research covers

CJC-1295 is researched for Growth hormone release — which is why it appears in discussions of growth-hormone support.

Research status: Some human pharmacology studies; not an approved therapy.

How CJC-1295 is thought to work

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary to release the body's own growth hormone in a more sustained way, and is often researched together with a ghrelin-type secretagogue for a more pulsatile release pattern.

What it does not establish

Frequently asked questions

Some human pharmacology studies; not an approved therapy. Research relevant to this area covers growth hormone release. That is a description of where the research points, not evidence that it will work for you — and Selpho does not provide dosing or medical advice.

Affects the endocrine system. Research use only in most regions. Always speak to a licensed healthcare professional before considering any peptide.

Increasing the body's own growth-hormone output, with downstream interest in body composition, recovery, and sleep.

No. Rather than supplying growth hormone directly, it prompts your pituitary to release more of its own. It affects the endocrine system and is research-use in most regions.
