CJC-1295 (no DAC) + GHRP-2

Mod GRF 1-29 + GHRP-2 / Modified GRF + GHRP-2 / CJC/GHRP-2 combo

A synergistic combination of a GHRH analog (CJC-1295 without DAC, aka Mod GRF 1-29) and a GH-releasing peptide (GHRP-2). CJC-1295 amplifies the GH pulse via GHRH receptor, while GHRP-2 initiates the pulse via ghrelin receptor. Together they produce a GH release 3–5x greater than either alone. The gold standard research peptide combination for GH optimization in the biohacking community.

Half-life

CJC-1295 no DAC: ~30 min; GHRP-2: ~15–25 min

Typical Dose

100 mcg CJC-1295 + 100–300 mcg GHRP-2 per injection

Evidence Overview

Strength of evidence across clinical, expert, and experimental lanes.

How CJC-1295 (no DAC) + GHRP-2 is dosed in practice

Usually taken by subcutaneous (SubQ) injection. Typical range: 100 mcg CJC-1295 + 100–300 mcg GHRP-2 per injection. Half-life: CJC-1295 no DAC: ~30 min; GHRP-2: ~15–25 min. Each card gives the dose, frequency and duration from one evidence lane: Clinical (human trials), Expert (practitioner protocols) or Experimental (early or animal data). These ranges describe what has been studied or used; they are not a prescription.

Work out the units to draw with the reconstitution calculator, how long a vial lasts with the vial duration calculator, and how levels fall between doses with the half-life calculator.

expert80% confidence

The most popular GH optimization peptide combination in clinical practice. Practitioners dose before bed to augment the natural GH pulse during deep sleep. Fasting state recommended for injection (carbs blunt GH release). Some practitioners add ipamorelin as a third component.

Dose100 mcg CJC + 100–300 mcg GHRP-2, 2–3x/day
Frequency2–3 times daily: AM fasted, post-workout, and pre-bed
Duration12–16 week cycles with 4-week breaks

  • Sports medicine clinics — recovery and body composition protocols
  • Clinical GH Peptide Protocols — Practitioner Consensus
experimental70% confidence

Community gold standard for GH optimization. Users report improved sleep quality, faster recovery, fat loss, and skin improvements. GHRP-2 increases appetite more than ipamorelin, which some users consider a benefit for mass building and others a drawback.

Dose100/100–200 mcg per injection
Frequency2–3 times daily
Duration12–16 weeks, cycling recommended
