What is CJC-1295?

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone. Versions with and without DAC (a modification that changes how long it sticks around) both get called CJC. It is not an approved drug. This page is the compound. The combination people actually write about lives on CJC-1295 and ipamorelin.

This hub currently has 27 published reports. 22 of them are also tagged ipamorelin. The pattern below is mostly a stack pattern. Reports that mention CJC without ipamorelin are called out as such.

CJC-1295 reports by the numbers

There are currently 27 published confessions tagged CJC-1295. Each was read and sorted by what the writer says happened. A report can sit in more than one row, and many are stack lists or questions with no outcome. These are counts of stories, not rates.

What users report for CJC-1295

Sleep is the thing more than one person describes. #388 says CJC changed their sleep completely, and that they would keep it if they had to drop every other peptide. #437 is CJC without DAC, plus GHK-Cu, not ipamorelin: four weeks, and sleep they call ten times better. The other sleep reports are the combination, and they are quoted on the stack page.

Body-composition numbers in this hub are single stories, almost always next to other drugs. They are not summarised as a CJC-1295 result here.

CJC-1295 side effects reported by users

From the CJC-tagged reports that describe something unwanted or physical:

  • —#604 — about fifteen minutes after every CJC injection, a hot red face, an hour of feeling drunk, then nightmares. Ipamorelin is not in this report.
  • —#571 — among a long list of peptides, the only effect they could feel was CJC: heart rate up and a warm feeling within minutes.
  • —#689 — an accidental injection of the CJC/ipamorelin vial (they say 1 mg of each). Flushing, a faster heart rate, then hunger. They call the rest uneventful.
  • —#150 — a person taking NAD+ and CJC/ipamorelin passed out and hit their head. The account also questions the amount. One story, two compounds named.

Is CJC-1295 safe?

CJC-1295 is not an approved drug. These reports are not a safety study. They include sleep accounts, flushing, a faster heart rate, nightmares, and one loss of consciousness in a story that also names NAD+. This page does not make a safety claim. If you have symptoms, talk to a clinician.

CJC-1295 dosage: what these reports contain

Almost none of the 27 reports state a CJC-1295 dose. The one figure that is clearly the combination is #689: 20 units, which the writer equates to 1 mg of CJC-1295 and 1 mg of ipamorelin, injected by mistake. Reported schedules for the combination, and the ipamorelin doses question, are on the CJC-1295 ipamorelin page. This page does not repeat them as a CJC-only schedule, because the archive does not have one.

This is not a dosing recommendation.

Timeline, stacks, and comparisons

Durations that show up next to CJC: two days (#258), three weeks (#205), four weeks without ipamorelin (#437), eight weeks inside a stack that also includes tirzepatide and testosterone (#431). Sleep is the early note. Nothing else lines up.

Comparisons collected elsewhere: CJC-1295 vs ipamorelin, CJC-1295 vs sermorelin, tesamorelin vs CJC-1295, and ipamorelin. Sermorelin is the other GHRH analogue on this site.

Community Q&A

What is CJC-1295?
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone. People use the name for versions with and without DAC. It is not an approved drug. This page has the anonymous reports tagged CJC-1295. There are currently 27, and 22 of those were also tagged ipamorelin.
What are CJC-1295 benefits, according to users?
Sleep is the report that shows up more than once. #388 says CJC changed their sleep and that they would keep it over every other peptide. #437 says the same about CJC without DAC, plus GHK-Cu, after four weeks. Other sleep notes are the combination with ipamorelin, on the stack page. These are personal accounts, not evidence.
What CJC-1295 side effects do people report?
A hot red face, a drunk feeling, and nightmares after each injection (#604). Heart rate and warmth within minutes (#571). Flushing, a faster heart rate, and hunger after an accidental 1 mg of CJC-1295 plus 1 mg of ipamorelin (#689). One person on NAD+ and CJC/ipamorelin passed out and hit their head (#150). Most reports do not describe a side effect.
Is CJC-1295 safe?
It is not an approved drug, and these stories are not a safety study. This page makes no safety claim. Talk to a clinician about symptoms.
What CJC-1295 dose do people report?
Almost nobody states one. The figure in this archive is an accidental injection: 1 mg of CJC-1295 and 1 mg of ipamorelin (#689). Combination schedules are on the CJC-1295 and ipamorelin page. That is not a dosing recommendation.
How many CJC-1295 reports mention sleep?
These published CJC-1295 confessions, from a mid-October read of the file, describe better sleep (#110, #205, #258, #388, #437, #454, #542). One (#604) describes nightmares after each injection. Most of the sleep reports are the CJC-1295 and ipamorelin pair, not CJC-1295 alone.
Does CJC-1295 cause flushing or a racing heart?
Three reports describe it: warmth and a heart-rate rise within minutes (#571), a hot red face for about an hour after each injection (#604), and flushing with a temporary heart-rate rise after an accidental injection (#689). That is what writers describe, not a measured rate.
CJC-1295 with DAC or without: what do these reports say?
One report says CJC without DAC, plus GHK-Cu (#437). Others just say CJC-1295 or CJC. This set is too thin to compare DAC and no-DAC.
Where are the CJC-1295 ipamorelin reports?
On the CJC-1295 and ipamorelin topic, which counts the 20 confessions tagged with both peptides. This page stays on CJC-1295 itself so the two URLs are not the same article.
Does CJC-1295 raise testosterone?
No. It raises growth hormone and IGF-1; there is no evidence it raises testosterone.
