Copies GHRH, a hormone your brain makes. Developed by ConjuChem, a Canadian company, in the early 2000s. Many products sold as "CJC-1295" are actually a different, short-lasting molecule.
What it's studied for
- ◐ Reported
Two small placebo-controlled trials in healthy adults (2006): one shot raised growth hormone for 6 days or more. They measured hormone levels only, not muscle, fat or health.
- ◐ Reported
A 2006 trial in people with HIV was stopped after a participant died. The trial doctor thought undiagnosed heart disease was the likely cause. No results were published.
