Overview

Short-acting version of CJC-1295 (also known as Mod GRF 1-29). Mimics natural GH pulses with a half-life of ~30 minutes. Best results when combined with GHRP peptides such as Ipamorelin or GHRP-2.

The DAC-free version of CJC-1295 — also called Mod GRF 1-29 — is valued precisely for the opposite profile of the DAC version: with a half-life of about 30 minutes, it generates acute GH pulses that mimic natural physiology and theoretically reduce the risk of pituitary desensitization. It is sought for body recomposition, recovery, deep sleep, and hormonal optimization.

It has no approval as a medicine by the FDA, EMA, or ANVISA. In Brazil it is prescribed by compounding pharmacies as off-label use, in 8 to 12-week cycles, with 2-3 subcutaneous applications daily (morning, post-workout, and before bed). It is almost always combined with a GHRP such as Ipamorelin or GHRP-2 for synergistic effect — GHRH analog + GHRP produce GH pulses far greater than either peptide alone. WADA prohibits GHRH and analogs in sport.

It was developed by ConjuChem as a modified GHRH(1-29) analog with substitutions that increase resistance to enzymatic degradation. The DAC-free version corresponds to the same base peptide without the linker that conjugates to albumin.

Among GHRH analogs, Mod GRF 1-29 occupies a middle ground: greater enzymatic stability than sermorelin (native GHRH 1-29), yet a much shorter half-life than CJC-1295 with DAC or tesamorelin. This short-pulse profile is what drives its classic pairing with GHRPs such as ipamorelin, GHRP-2, or hexarelin, and distinguishes it from the tonic oral elevation of MK-677.
