30-second evidence answer

What does the evidence mean in simple terms?

Direct human evidence for the material commonly sold as modified GRF(1-29) or “CJC without DAC” is very limited. Some related growth-hormone-releasing molecules have human data, but that cannot be treated as proof for this exact product.

Still uncertain: Direct information on how the body handles it, dose-response, human benefit, long-term safety, body-composition benefit or equivalence of marketplace products.

Human evidenceNo dedicated peer-reviewed human clinical trial of the exact tetrasubstituted Modified GRF(1-29) / 'CJC-1295 without DAC' product was identified in this search. Related human studies of native GHRH(1-29), D-Ala2 analogues and CJC-1295 with DAC establish GHRH biology but are different molecules.
Regulatory statusNo specific FDA-approved product named 'CJC-1295 without DAC' was identified.
Main limitationsDirect human PK, dose-response, efficacy, long-term safety, body-composition benefit or equivalence of marketplace products.
SafetyEndocrine adverse effects and product-identity uncertainty; long-term non-indicated use is not established.

Outcome-level evidence

Evidence is not one score.

Each record below answers a narrower question about an outcome, population or context. Evidence status and the study finding are shown separately so strong evidence is not mistaken for a positive effect.

Direct human evidence for Modified GRF(1-29) / CJC no-DAC

Evidence gap
Direct evidence gap

Context: People considering short-acting GHRH analogues

Finding: Direct efficacy, human PK, dose-response and safety for the exact marketplace no-DAC peptide remain unestablished.

Uncertainty / evidence gap: No direct human trial identified for the exact tetrasubstituted peptide.

Related GHRH analogue pharmacology

Indirect human evidence
Related-molecule human pharmacology only

Context: Healthy men

Finding: Amino-acid substitutions can alter clearance and GH response, supporting biological plausibility.

Uncertainty / evidence gap: These studies did not test the four-substitution Mod GRF product.

Evidence rule: an outcome-specific evidence label is not a recommendation, a safety rating or an overall score for the compound.

Evidence synthesis

  • ✓Direct efficacy, human PK, dose-response and safety for the exact marketplace no-DAC peptide remain unestablished.
  • ✓Amino-acid substitutions can alter clearance and GH response, supporting biological plausibility.

Important limitations

  • !Marketplace naming often incorrectly imports CJC-1295-DAC trial data.
  • !Single-substitution analogues cannot define the PK or dose of the marketplace tetrasubstituted peptide.

Selected study & evidence records

D-Ala2 GHRH(1-29) pharmacokinetics in normal men

1994 · Human pharmacokinetic comparative study · n=10

D-Ala2 substitution reduced metabolic clearance and increased disappearance half-time from 4.3 to 6.7 minutes.

Study detail → Primary source ↗

GHRH(1-29) and D-Ala2 analogue GH-response study

1985 · Human dose-response pharmacology · n=5

Both peptides stimulated GH; the D-Ala2 analogue was approximately twice as potent as native GHRH(1-29) in this small study.

Study detail → Primary source ↗

Safety and unknowns

Endocrine adverse effects and product-identity uncertainty; long-term non-indicated use is not established.

Compound-specific human safety is not established. Related GHRH analogues can cause transient flushing and raise GH/IGF-I, but those data cannot define Mod GRF risk.

Technical details

Mechanism / biologyShort-acting GHRH-receptor agonism stimulates endogenous GH release; marketplace naming is inconsistent.
Route / formulation boundaryChemical identity should be confirmed because 'without DAC' is often used loosely for modified GRF(1-29).
Identity / data-quality noteDo not merge Modified GRF(1-29) with CJC-1295-DAC or native sermorelin. The literature belongs to distinct molecules.
Study / label regimen evidenceStudy-regimen evidence reviewed. Human dosing exists for native GHRH(1-29)/sermorelin, but it should not be transferred to an unverified Modified GRF(1-29)/'CJC without DAC' product identity.
Identifiers & alternate namesCJC without DAC · CJC no DAC · Mod GRF 1-29 · CJC w/out DAC

Source depth & provenance

WhichPeps does not rely on a single headline study when the evidence base is broader. Primary research, registries, regulators and supporting records are kept distinct.

2structured study records
2outcome records
7linked source records

How to read these counts: they show evidence coverage, not evidence strength. One large, well-designed study can be more informative than several weak or indirect records.

Show supporting and discovery sources

Study pages above contain the records used for public evidence summaries. The links below include supporting, regulatory and literature-discovery sources; a registry or search result is not treated as proof of benefit.

Evidence rule: WhichPeps keeps human, animal, laboratory, regulatory and product/formulation evidence distinct. Common names help people find the page; they do not change the underlying scientific identity.
