Research compounds Early human study Hormone research
Also discussed as: CJC1295
What it is and how it works
CJC-1295 is a long-acting growth hormone-releasing hormone analogue. The cited human study examined whether it produced sustained changes in growth hormone and IGF-1. A biomarker response is a biological finding, not a measurement of better recovery or longer life.

Early human study
This label describes the selected source below. It is not a complete ranking of the literature, a safety score, or an approval status.
- Study or assessment
- Teichman et al., 2006 — CJC-1295 in healthy adults
- Design
- Randomized, placebo-controlled, ascending-exposure studies.
- Who or what was studied
- Healthy adults; the study measured hormone-related responses.
- What was observed
- CJC-1295 produced sustained increases in growth hormone and IGF-1.
- Limits of interpretation
- The study did not establish long-term anti-aging, athletic recovery, or functional benefits. Names used for different CJC-related products may conceal molecular differences.
What the evidence means
A laboratory or hormone measurement is not itself proof of better function, recovery, or longer life.
Approval and regulatory context
Not an FDA-approved anti-aging or performance medicine.
Safety and uncertainty
Reported concerns include cardiovascular reactions.
What remains uncertain
The key missing link is whether changing these biomarkers improves meaningful outcomes with an acceptable safety profile. Results for one studied analogue cannot be generalized to every product marketed under a similar name.
These summaries are introductory and are not a complete account of the literature, adverse effects, contraindications, or interactions. Absence of a listed risk does not mean absence of risk. Different compounds, formulations, and routes cannot be treated as interchangeable.
