THE GH SUSTAINER
CJC-1295 (no DAC)
Long-acting growth hormone releaser for muscle, recovery and anti-aging
Also known as: GRF (1-29) analog with DAC
Overview
CJC-1295 without DAC is a modified version of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates your pituitary to release more growth hormone. The non-DAC version has a short half-life so it's typically dosed daily, often combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH pulses that mimic your body's natural rhythm.
