COMMON QUESTIONS.
§ 08 · FAQWhat's the difference between CJC-1295 with and without DAC?
DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) extends half-life from 30 minutes to ~8 days. No DAC allows natural pulsatile GH release; DAC provides more constant elevation. Most research prefers no DAC for physiologic patterns.
Why combine CJC-1295 with ipamorelin?
They work through different mechanisms - CJC-1295 (GHRH pathway) amplifies release, ipamorelin (ghrelin pathway) triggers the pulse. Together they produce significantly greater GH release than either alone.
Is Mod GRF 1-29 the same as CJC-1295 no DAC?
Yes, they're the same compound. Mod GRF 1-29 is the technical name for the modified GHRH fragment. 'CJC-1295 no DAC' or 'CJC-1295 without DAC' are common trade names.
What's the flushing side effect?
Some experience facial flushing/warmth shortly after injection. This is common with GHRH analogs and typically diminishes over time. It indicates the peptide is active.
