THE GH SUSTAINER
CJC-1295
Long-acting growth hormone releaser for muscle, recovery and anti-aging
Also known as: GRF (1-29) analog with DAC
Overview
CJC-1295 is a modified version of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates your pituitary to release more growth hormone. The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) version binds to albumin in your blood, extending its effects for days instead of minutes. Often combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic effects.
