Bottom line
A marketed growth-hormone-axis combination pairing a substance labeled “CJC-1295 (no DAC)” with GHRP-6, a first-generation hexapeptide ghrelin-receptor agonist. Acute human component studies report GH release from GHRP-6, while a feeding response has been demonstrated directly in rats. No combination-specific study 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-6 | Variable | Seller-declared identity and amount are not independent verification; “no DAC” is Modified GRF 1-29 rather than the DAC conjugate studied as CJC-1295 |
Also known as: CJC-1295/GHRP-6, Mod GRF 1-29/GHRP-6. GHRP-6 was first synthesised in 1984 as an enkephalin analog without opioid activity.
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 activity is inferred from sequence and peptide class rather than demonstrated for the standalone non-DAC substance | No published combination study | No published data |
| GHRP-6 | Ilson 1989 studied 17 healthy men during 30-minute IV infusions of 0.05–2.5 mcg/kg; eight saline control infusions were also performed. GH increased dose-dependently and peaked at 45 minutes. Bowers 1990 studied 18 healthy men after IV boluses of 0.1, 0.3, or 1 mcg/kg, alone or with GHRH 1 mcg/kg; GH responses were dose-related, the two lower combination exposures were synergistic, and prolactin/cortisol rose approximately twofold only at 1 mcg/kg GHRP-6. | No published combination study with CJC-1295 | — |
GHRP-6's appetite effect is commonly presented as a differentiator from more selective secretagogues. Direct evidence identified here is preclinical: an intracerebroventricular rat study reported increased feeding after GHRP-6. That animal observation does not establish a human appetite effect or the effect, safety, or value of this marketed combination.
A separate uncontrolled phase 1 report by Selman-Housein et al. enrolled 18 healthy adults aged 18–35 years, three at each of six single IV exposures from 1 to 400 mcg/kg. It recorded 23 adverse events in 12 participants and no serious adverse event. This small dose-escalation study did not test the blend.
Combination-specific studies
A targeted PubMed search through 2026-08-06 identified no published human or animal study testing CJC-1295 + GHRP-6 as a specific combination. Related GHRH-analog and GHRP-6 findings come from separate component literature.
Safety and interaction uncertainties
Appetite stimulation has direct preclinical support but was not established in the cited human studies
Cortisol/prolactin elevation at the highest acute GHRP-6 exposure complicates endocrine readouts
No combination-specific safety data
Fixed-ratio blend prevents independent dose adjustment of either component
Regulatory and product-quality notes
Neither component FDA-approved
The cited human GHRP-6 studies were acute or single-exposure studies and do not establish therapeutic efficacy
The 2026 WADA List explicitly names CJC-1295 among GHRH analogues and GHRP-6 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 of any kind
No dose-ratio optimisation
No co-stability or co-lyophilisation characterisation
Long-term safety was not established in the cited individual-component studies or for the combination
