Short answer
What is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of GHRH(1-29), the active fragment of growth hormone-releasing hormone. It carries a drug affinity complex designed to bind albumin covalently, which extends its half-life.
It also appears in the literature as CJC1295, CJC-1295 with DAC, GRF 1-29 (CJC1295).

| STRENGTH | FORM | PRICE | CERTIFICATE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10mg | Lyophilised powder | A$85 | Pending |
What has research on CJC-1295 examined?
CJC-1295 was examined in two randomized, placebo-controlled, ascending-dose trials in healthy adults and a further pharmacodynamic study (2006), and in rodent models including GHRH-knockout mice. Much later literature concerns anti-doping detection.
The table lists primary sources by year and model. Findings describe the study subjects, not this research vial.
What adverse events have studies of CJC-1295 reported?
In two randomized, placebo-controlled, ascending-dose trials in healthy adults aged 21-61 (28 and 49 days), no serious adverse reactions were reported (PMID 16352683). The abstract lists no specific non-serious adverse events. No other human study reporting adverse events was found.
These findings describe the people or animals in each study. The sources list gives every PubMed record.
How do you reconstitute and store CJC-1295?
Store the sealed vial frozen (about -20 degrees Celsius), dry and away from light until it is reconstituted.
After reconstitution with a sterile solvent, keep the solution at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Record the solvent, volume and date on the vial label.
BAC Water is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is an alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. The reconstitution guide and storage guide cover laboratory handling.
| STATE | TEMPERATURE | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed vial | -20 °C | Dry and dark. Keeps to the label date. |
| Reconstituted | 2 to 8 °C | Sterile technique. Avoid repeat freeze and thaw. |
| In transit | Cold pack | Refrigerate or freeze on arrival. |

Is CJC-1295 a prescription medicine in Australia?
CJC-1295 is listed in Schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard (prescription only). It is also listed in Appendix D clause 5, which makes possession without authority an offence. Peptides Collective sells it for laboratory research use only.
Is CJC-1295 banned in sport?
WADA's 2026 Prohibited List prohibits CJC-1295 at all times, under class S2.2.4.
What is the CAS number for CJC-1295?
The CAS number for CJC-1295 is 446262-90-4. Its PubChem CID is 91971820.
How long does an unopened CJC-1295 vial keep?
A sealed vial of lyophilised powder keeps to the date on its label when stored frozen, dry and dark. Once reconstituted, keep the solution at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and record the date on the label.
Does every CJC-1295 batch have a certificate?
Yes. Every CJC-1295 batch is tested by [lab] before it goes on sale, and the certificate is published under the batch number printed on the vial. The current batch certificate is [pending].
Where is CJC-1295 shipped from?
Orders ship tracked from Western Australia. Orders placed before [cut-off] leave the same business day. Delivery estimates by state are on the shipping page.
What purity is the current CJC-1295 batch?
The current CJC-1295 batch certificate is [pending]. When it is published, it reports purity by HPLC to three decimal places and confirms identity by mass spectrometry.
Which solvent reconstitutes CJC-1295?
BAC Water (sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is an alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. Record the solvent, volume and resulting concentration on the vial label.
How much does CJC-1295 cost in Australia?
CJC-1295 costs A$85 for 10mg at Peptides Collective, in Australian dollars. Each price is per vial of lyophilised powder.
