Overview

Modified GRF 1-29 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) comprising 29 amino acids with four amino acid substitutions to enhance stability. These modifications increase resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to native GHRH while maintaining receptor affinity and biological activity.

Mechanism of Action

The compound stimulates pulsatile growth hormone release from the anterior pituitary without the half-life extension conferred by drug affinity complex technology.

Research Summary & Key Findings

Preclinical studies have demonstrated enhanced growth hormone secretion and improved pharmacokinetic stability relative to native GHRH. No formal clinical trials have been published in peer-reviewed literature, and the compound lacks regulatory evaluation by major health authorities. Its use has been primarily documented in performance enhancement contexts outside approved therapeutic settings.

Clinical Status

Research Phase

Mod GRF 1-29 (CJC-1295 no DAC) is in the research phase with limited clinical data in humans. Current evidence is primarily derived from preclinical (animal or in vitro) studies.

No lawful pathway today

Mod GRF 1-29 (CJC-1295 no DAC) is not FDA-approved and does not currently have a lawful prescription or compounding pathway in the United States, so there is nothing for us to sell you here and no consultation to book. That can change: eight peptides moved back to a lawful pathway in February 2026.
