Every price, divided down to the milligram.

Sticker prices hide what a compound actually costs, because vial sizes differ. So we divide the listing by its stated peptide content and show the real cost per milligram.

How to read these rows

Verify the COA

A certificate of analysis should come from an independent lab, reference the exact batch number on the label, and be recent. Vendor-issued documents without a named third-party lab carry less weight — the COA row links to what each vendor publishes.

Match the format

Lyophilized vials and sprays are different products with different concentrations. That is why sprays sit outside the $/mg ranking — compare vials to vials, sprays to sprays.

Count the total cost

Shipping fees, free-shipping thresholds and active discount codes can flip which vendor is actually cheapest for your order size. The $/mg figure is the baseline; the shipping and code details finish the math.

Methodology

How we rank

The row below carries a price per mg figure: listed price divided by stated peptide content, excluding shipping and codes. It is the same calculation applied on every compound page, so a figure here is directly comparable to one anywhere else on the site.

We currently track a single listing for this compound. When a second vendor is added the rows are ordered by measured $/mg, and the flags for testing and shipping are computed from the data shown. Each row carries its own verification date.

Peptide Secretagogue Analogs

Long-acting GHRH-receptor analog (no-DAC variant)

GHRH analog (Modified GRF 1-29) that stimulates natural, pulsatile growth-hormone release.

A 29-residue growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog (also known as tetrasubstituted GRF 1-29 / mod-GRF 1-29) characterised in the primary literature as a GHRH-receptor agonist with amino-acid substitutions at positions 2, 8, 15, and 27 that reduce enzymatic cleavage. For laboratory characterisation only.

Research summary

CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) — clinical & mechanistic profile

Mod GRF 1-29 is a tetrasubstituted GHRH analog (Ala2, Gln8, Ala15, Leu27) with ~30-minute half-life (vs ~7 min native GHRH) due to DPP-IV resistance. Lacking DAC's albumin binding, it produces acute pulsatile GH release mimicking physiology, synergizing with GHRPs via complementary cAMP/Ca2+ pathways.

Studied applications

Preserved pulsatility
~30 min half-life produces discrete GH spikes mimicking physiological patterns
DPP-IV resistance
Ala2 substitution blocks primary degradation enzyme, extending duration from ~7 to ~30 min
GHRP synergy
cAMP pathway (GHRH) + Ca2+/IP3 pathway (GHRPs) produce amplified GH pulses beyond additive effects
Flexible protocols
short duration allows timing with natural GH windows (sleep, exercise)
No albumin binding
lacks DAC moiety, enabling rapid clearance and pulsatile administration

Research constraints & safety notes

Not approved for human therapeutic use
Short half-life requires 2-3 daily injections for meaningful effects
No completed human clinical trials for this specific compound
Quality and purity of research compounds varies
Optimal dosing and timing protocols not established

Full agonist (in vitro)

In-vitro cAMP assays in HEK-GHRHR cells report full agonism at the GHRH receptor. The 4 amino-acid substitutions vs native GHRH(1-29) are described as reducing DPP-IV degradation and extending in-vitro stability.

Product Description

What CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) is

CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) is a synthetic 29-amino acid GHRH analog (tetrasubstituted). Mod GRF 1-29 is a tetrasubstituted GHRH analog (Ala2, Gln8, Ala15, Leu27) with ~30-minute half-life (vs ~7 min native GHRH) due to DPP-IV resistance. Lacking DAC's albumin binding, it produces acute pulsatile GH release mimicking physiology, synergizing with GHRPs via complementary cAMP/Ca2+ pathways. It has a molecular formula C152H252N44O42, mass 3367.95 Da. Common synonyms in the literature include Mod GRF 1-29, Modified GRF, and CJC-1295 no DAC.

What it’s studied for

Investigation of CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) to date is primarily preclinical, with the majority of citations concentrated in animal models and in-vitro assays rather than randomized controlled human trials. Published work referencing CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) spans Structure-activity research: Studies established that Ala2 substitution prevents cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), the primary GHRH-degrading enzyme. The other substitutions (Gln8, Ala15, Leu27) further enhance stability without compromising receptor binding, Combination research: Preclinical and anecdotal studies suggest GHRH + GHRP combinations produce synergistic GH release. The distinct signaling pathways (cAMP vs. calcium) converge on somatotrophs to amplify secretion beyond additive effects, and Pulsatility preservation: Unlike CJC-1295 DAC, the short half-life of Mod GRF 1-29 allows discrete GH pulses when administered 2-3 times daily. This mimics normal physiological secretion patterns more closely than sustained-release compounds. Proposed mechanisms in the literature include GHRHR full agonism: binds pituitary GHRH receptor, triggering Gs-protein coupling and adenylyl cyclase and cAMP/PKA pathway: adenylyl cyclase → cAMP → PKA activation → GH gene transcription and vesicle release. None of this material describes therapeutic outcomes in humans, and No vendor listed here provides dosing guidance for CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) outside laboratory research.

FAQ

What is CJC-1295 No DAC and how is it different from CJC-1295 DAC?
CJC-1295 No DAC (also referred to as Mod GRF 1-29) is a short-acting GHRH analog studied for pulsatile GH-release research. Published literature differentiates it from the DAC variant, which carries a Drug Affinity Complex extending serum half-life into days. PMID 16384879 ↗ · PMID 22148949 ↗
What is the reported half-life of CJC-1295 No DAC?
Published pharmacokinetic data describe CJC-1295 No DAC as having a short serum half-life — commonly cited at approximately 30 minutes — supporting research models of pulsatile GHRH stimulation. PMID 22148949 ↗
Is CJC-1295 No DAC frequently studied alongside Ipamorelin in research?
Research literature describes CJC-1295 No DAC and Ipamorelin in combined-protocol studies because they target complementary pathways — GHRH-receptor agonism and ghrelin/GHS-R agonism respectively. See our /buy/cjc-1295-ipamorelin product for the pre-blended research vial.
How should CJC-1295 No DAC be stored?
Lyophilized vials store at −20 °C protected from light. Reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8 °C and use within 30 days. Refer to your COA.
