What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?

CJC-1295 (No DAC) and Ipamorelin are two different growth hormone secretagogues that are usually supplied blended in one vial. This guide explains what each compound is, why they are paired, and what a researcher in the Philippines should check before ordering.

The short answer

CJC-1295 without DAC — also written Mod GRF (1-29) — is a 29-amino-acid analog of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide that acts as a selective agonist at the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). They are studied together because they act on two separate receptor pathways that converge on the same pituitary output.

IpamorelinGrowth hormone secretagogueGHS-R1a (ghrelin)Short (~2 hours)

This is an investigational research material. It is not approved for human use in the Philippines or anywhere else, and Origen supplies it strictly for laboratory research.

CJC-1295 with DAC vs No DAC

DAC stands for Drug Affinity Complex, a maleimide group that binds the peptide to serum albumin and stretches its half-life to several days. The No DAC form has no such group, so it clears quickly and produces a short, pulse-like signal instead of a sustained one. Most blended research vials, including Origen's, use the No DAC form for that reason.

CJC-1295 No DAC (Mod GRF 1-29)NoShort pulse, minutes

Why they are blended

  • Two receptors, one readout — GHRH-receptor and ghrelin-receptor activity are measured together rather than in separate preparations.
  • Ipamorelin is selective, so it is preferred in research models over older secretagogues that also move cortisol and prolactin.
  • A single blended vial removes the variability of mixing two separately reconstituted solutions.

The trade-off is that the ratio is fixed by the vial. If a protocol needs the two components varied independently, separate vials are required.

Reconstitution follows the same method as any lyophilized vial. The dosage calculator converts milligrams and water volume into syringe units, and the mixing guide covers the physical steps.

What to verify before buying

  1. 1A published certificate of analysis from an independent lab, matched to the lot you receive.
  2. 2Purity stated as a number, not as a claim like "pharmaceutical grade".
  3. 3Clear vial labelling: compound, total milligrams, and lot reference.
  4. 4A local seller who ships domestically, so the vial is not held in customs at ambient temperature for weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?

It is a blended research vial containing CJC-1295 without DAC (a GHRH analog, also called Mod GRF 1-29) and Ipamorelin, a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist. Both are growth hormone secretagogues studied in laboratory research models.

What is the difference between CJC-1295 with DAC and No DAC?

The DAC version binds to albumin and stays in circulation for days. The No DAC version, Mod GRF (1-29), clears within minutes and produces a short pulse. Origen supplies the No DAC form.

How much is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin in the Philippines?

The Origen 10mg blended vial is ₱3,190 and includes 3mL bacteriostatic water. Shipping is ₱350 nationwide via J&T Express, ₱400 for Metro Manila same-day, and free above ₱6,000.

Is there a certificate of analysis?

Yes. The Janoshik Analytical report for the blend is published at origencollective.cc/certifications and linked from the product page.

Is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin approved for human use?

No. It is an investigational compound supplied for laboratory research use only, and is not approved for human or veterinary use.
