CJC-1295 no DAC / GHRP-2 Blend

CJC + GHRP-2

100mcg CJC / 100mcg GHRP-2 per injection – ~200 mcg total (100/100) SubQ 2-3x daily
GHRH + GHRP CombinationSynthetic Hexapeptide + 29-Amino Acid AnalogGhrelin Receptor Agonist + GHRH Receptor Agonist

CJC-1295 no DAC / GHRP-2 Blend is a pre-mixed growth hormone secretagogue combination pairing Modified GRF(1-29) with Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2. This dual-action blend stimulates both the GHRH receptor and the ghrelin receptor simultaneously, producing amplified pulsatile GH release that exceeds either peptide alone. It is one of the most widely available GH blends from compounding pharmacies.

How it works

This blend works through dual-receptor stimulation of the GH axis:

CJC-1295 no DAC (Mod GRF 1-29)

Binds GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs, activating cAMP/PKA signaling to prime GH granule release. The four amino acid substitutions protect against DPP-IV degradation while preserving full receptor activity. Without the DAC linker, it produces acute GH pulses with a ~30 minute half-life.

GHRP-2 (Pralmorelin)

Binds GHS-R1a (ghrelin receptor) on the pituitary, triggering GH release through a separate intracellular pathway (PLC/IP3/PKC). Also suppresses somatostatin, removing the natural brake on GH secretion. Stimulates appetite via hypothalamic ghrelin signaling - moderate compared to GHRP-6.

Synergistic Amplification

The GHRH signal (CJC) and GHRP signal (GHRP-2) converge on somatotrophs through independent pathways, producing GH pulses 3-5x greater than either peptide alone. This mimics the natural dual-signal system the body uses for GH regulation.

What to expect

Early
Days 1–7

Days 1-7: Noticeable appetite increase after injection. Improved sleep quality, especially deeper sleep and vivid dreams. Possible mild water retention. Flushing or tingling post-injection is common and harmless.

Mid
Weeks 2–4

Weeks 2-6: Body composition changes becoming visible. Improved skin quality and elasticity. Recovery from training noticeably faster. Fat loss in midsection area. Appetite effect becomes more predictable and manageable.

Later
Weeks 4–12

Weeks 6-12: Full body recomposition effects evident. Lean mass gains consolidated. Skin and hair improvements. Sleep architecture optimized. Consider cycling off after 12 weeks to maintain pituitary sensitivity.

Claims we could not support

No abstract we checked supports these for this molecule at this route. That is not the same as saying they are false — it marks where the evidence is missing.

Dose/route: 100 mcg CJC + 100 mcg GHRP-2 SubQ 2-3 times daily while fasted. No checked abstract administered this exact fixed combination, ratio, SubQ dose, or frequency in humans.

Mechanism and claimed 3-5× GH-pulse synergy for the exact blend. Component and GHRH/GHRP class evidence cannot establish the magnitude, formulation, or pharmacodynamics of this exact no-DAC fixed blend.

Primary safety concern, including cortisol/prolactin effects above 200 mcg. No checked human abstract evaluated safety of the exact fixed blend at the displayed regimen; component-only safety was not transferred.

04

The honest take

GHRP-2 is approved in Japan as Pralmorelin for clinical use

Partly true

Partially accurate. GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) is approved in Japan specifically as a diagnostic agent for GH deficiency testing, not as a therapeutic drug for GH optimization. The approval confirms safety for single-dose administration.

Moderate appetite stimulation - more than Ipamorelin, less than GHRP-6
Supported

Well-supported by comparative human studies. GHRP-2 produces noticeable but manageable hunger, consistently rated between Ipamorelin (minimal appetite effect) and GHRP-6 (strong hunger drive) in clinical observations.

Cortisol and prolactin elevation is clinically insignificant at standard doses

Dose-dependent. At 100mcg, cortisol and prolactin increases are generally subclinical. Above 200mcg per injection, these elevations become more meaningful. Keeping doses at or below 200mcg GHRP-2 per injection is recommended to minimize this.

05

Interactions & stacking

Two different questions: what is documented about running these together, and what is documented about drawing them into the same syringe. A good pharmacological partner can still have to be pinned separately.

Documented together

IpamorelinCan be used at separate times of day. Do not combine two GHRPs in the same injection - use one GHRP per dose.
BPC-157Different mechanism. Can be injected at same time but different site. GH elevation supports BPC repair pathways.
GHK-CuCompatible for tissue repair stacking. GH elevation from blend supports collagen remodeling. Draw GHK-Cu last.
MK-677 (Ibutamoren)Oral GHS-R1a agonist provides sustained baseline GH elevation between injected GHRP-2 pulses. Different pharmacokinetics complement the acute blend pulses.

Keep separate

CJC-1295 with DACDAC version provides continuous GH elevation that disrupts pulsatile signaling. Do not combine sustained and pulsatile GHRH analogs.
Somatostatin analogs (Octreotide)Directly antagonizes GH release. Completely negates the purpose of this blend.
High-dose insulinElevated insulin blunts GH response. Fasted state is required for optimal GH release from this blend.

Check any specific pair in the Stack & Interaction Checker, which answers both questions separately. Absence of a documented conflict is not evidence of safety.

06

Side effects & safety

Commonly reported

  • Moderate appetite increase (15-30 min post-injection, lasts ~1 hour)
  • Flushing or warmth post-injection (transient, harmless)
  • Mild water retention in first 1-2 weeks
  • Tingling or numbness in extremities post-injection
  • Vivid dreams or disrupted sleep initially

Less common & notes

  • At higher GHRP-2 doses (above 200mcg), mild cortisol and prolactin elevation may occur.
  • Symptoms could include slight anxiety or irritability post-injection.
  • Rarely, mild headache or lethargy.
  • These effects are dose-dependent and resolve by reducing the GHRP-2 component.
  • Keep individual GHRP-2 doses at or below 200mcg to minimize these hormonal side effects.

Pharmacokinetics

Illustrative plasma concentration · 17 h
Half-life

CJC-1295 no DAC: ~30 min; GHRP-2: ~25 min. Combined GH pulse duration: 1.5-2 hours.

Peak · Tmax

CJC: 15-30 min; GHRP-2: 15-20 min. Peak synergistic GH release at ~20-30 min post-injection.

Elimination

Both components cleared within 2-3 hours. GH pulse elevation returns to baseline by 3-4 hours.

Bioavailability

SubQ: ~95-100% for both components. Oral: not viable (peptide degradation in GI tract).

Duration of action

GH pulse lasts 1.5-2 hours. Downstream IGF-1 elevation persists 12-20 hours. Appetite effect from GHRP-2 lasts ~1 hour post-injection.

Clearance

Enzymatic degradation by peptidases. CJC modifications provide DPP-IV resistance. GHRP-2 cleared primarily by renal and hepatic peptidases.

Storage. Store lyophilized vial at room temperature or refrigerated. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store refrigerated at 2-8C. Use within 28-30 days of reconstitution. Do not freeze after reconstitution. Protect from light. Discard if solution becomes cloudy or contains particulate matter.

08

Regulatory status

Not FDA-approved. Available through compounding pharmacies with prescription. GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) has been studied in clinical trials in Japan and other countries for GH deficiency diagnosis. CJC-1295 no DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) has human pharmacokinetic data. Pre-mixed blends are a compounding pharmacy product. Classified as research peptides in most jurisdictions. All use is experimental/off-label.
