Bottom line
A marketed growth-hormone-axis combination pairing a substance labeled “CJC-1295 (no DAC)” with GHRP-2 (pralmorelin), a hexapeptide ghrelin-receptor agonist. GHRP-2 has an approved product-specific diagnostic role in Japan, but no published controlled study of this combination was identified.
No established or recommended human dose.
Name and formulation variability
| Observed source/date | Claimed components | Claimed amounts | Verification limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online-market listings observed in 2026 | Substance labeled “CJC-1295 (no DAC)” plus GHRP-2 | Variable | Seller-declared identity and amount are not independent verification |
Also known as: CJC-1295/GHRP-2, Mod GRF 1-29/GHRP-2, CJC-1295+ GHRP-2. GHRP-2: Pralmorelin (INN), GPA-748, KP-102.
Critical ambiguity: the clinical-study name CJC-1295 refers to the DAC conjugate designed for albumin binding. Online-market “CJC-1295 no DAC” usually refers to Modified GRF 1-29, a different substance. Evidence for CJC-1295 DAC cannot be transferred to Modified GRF 1-29 or this blend.
Component evidence
| Component | Separate evidence | Evidence for combination | Compatibility/stability evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CJC-1295 (no DAC) | No controlled human studies; GHRH-receptor/cAMP activity is inferred from sequence and peptide class rather than demonstrated for the standalone non-DAC substance | No published combination study | No published stability data |
| GHRP-2 (Pralmorelin) | Pihoker 1998 studied ten prepubertal short children (nine boys, one girl; mean age 7.7 years) after one 1 mcg/kg IV exposure over 1 minute: terminal half-life was 0.55 hours and GH reached maximum concentration at 0.42 hours. Separate small human studies support ACTH/cortisol/prolactin and food-intake effects. PMDA lists an approved pralmorelin hydrochloride diagnostic product in Japan. | No published combination study with CJC-1295 | — |
The component evidence is limited and indication-specific. Arvat et al. studied six young adults and six older adults given GHRP-2 or hexarelin IV at 1 or 2 mcg/kg and reported GH release plus small ACTH, cortisol, and prolactin responses. Laferrère et al. used a randomized within-subject comparison in seven lean healthy men; a 270-minute SC GHRP-2 infusion at 1 mcg/kg/hour increased food intake by 35.9% versus saline. Neither study tested Modified GRF(1-29), CJC-1295, or this blend.
Combination-specific studies
A targeted PubMed search through 2026-08-06 identified no published human randomized controlled trial or controlled animal study of the specific CJC-1295 + GHRP-2 combination.
Safety and interaction uncertainties
GHRP-2 elevates ACTH, cortisol, and prolactin — confounding GH-axis readouts
Appetite stimulation may confound metabolic studies
No combination-specific safety data
Theoretical mitogenic concern from sustained GH/IGF-1 elevation
Regulatory and product-quality notes
Neither component FDA-approved for therapeutic use
PMDA lists GHRP Kaken 100 (pralmorelin hydrochloride), approved in Japan for diagnosis of growth-hormone secretory deficiency; this product-specific diagnostic authorization does not apply to the blend
The 2026 WADA List explicitly names CJC-1295 among GHRH analogues and GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) among GH-releasing peptides in section S2.2.4; both are prohibited at all times
An online “research use only” label is not authorization for human use
Evidence gaps
No combination study (human or animal)
No dose-ratio optimisation data
No long-term safety data for the combination
Corticosteroid elevation complicates interpretation of any study using this blend
