Overview
Growth hormone optimization and anti-aging

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It exists in two forms: with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) for extended half-life, or without DAC for shorter duration. The peptide is popular in anti-aging and bodybuilding communities for its ability to increase GH levels, potentially improving body composition, recovery, and sleep quality.
