CJC-1295 (No DAC) / GHRP-6 Blend

Also known as: CJC-1295 & GHRP-6, CJC-1295 No DAC + GHRP-6 Blend, Mod GRF 1-29 & GHRP-6

This blend combines CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29), a GHRH analog, with GHRP-6, a ghrelin-mimetic secretagogue noted for strong appetite stimulation, to synergistically boost growth hormone release. Both are unapproved research peptides.

Mechanism of Action

CJC-1295 without DAC is a modified GHRH(1-29) analog that binds the pituitary GHRH receptor and increases the amplitude of endogenous growth-hormone pulses. GHRP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide ghrelin mimetic that activates the GHS-R1a receptor to trigger GH release and reduce somatostatin inhibition, and it is the most potent of the GHRPs for stimulating appetite via central ghrelin signaling. Pairing a GHRH analog with GHRP-6 yields a synergistic GH pulse because the two receptor systems reinforce one another. The short half-life of the no-DAC form keeps GH and IGF-1 release pulsatile and physiologic.

Half-life
Short for both components: roughly 30 minutes for CJC-1295 no DAC and about 15-30 minutes for GHRP-6

Reported Benefits

  • Synergistic pulsatile growth hormone release
  • Marked appetite stimulation (useful in mass-gain models)
  • Raises downstream IGF-1 levels
  • Studied for recovery, lean mass, and body composition
  • Short-acting profile maintains physiologic GH pulses
  • Two complementary GH-release pathways combined

Potential Side Effects

  • Pronounced hunger shortly after administration
  • Injection-site redness or irritation
  • Water retention, tingling, or numbness
  • Elevated cortisol or prolactin and possible flushing
  • Headache or reactive hypoglycemia

Common Dosing

For research use only and not medical advice: research protocols commonly combine roughly 100 mcg CJC-1295 (no DAC) with 100-200 mcg GHRP-6 per subcutaneous administration, often dosed 1-3 times daily on an empty stomach. No validated human dosing exists.

Contraindications

  • Active or history of malignancy (GH and IGF-1 elevation)
  • Uncontrolled diabetes or significant insulin resistance
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Prolonged stimulation of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I secretion by CJC-1295, a long-acting analog of GH-releasing hormone, in healthy adults

It uses GHRP-6 instead of GHRP-2. GHRP-6 produces a similar synergistic GH pulse but with notably stronger appetite stimulation, which can be desirable for mass-gain research or unwanted otherwise.

GHRP-6 strongly activates the ghrelin receptor in the hypothalamus, and ghrelin is the body's primary hunger signal, so a sharp increase in appetite typically follows administration.

No. Both peptides are unapproved research compounds sold strictly for laboratory study.
