## FAQ

### What is the difference between CJC-1295 with DAC and without DAC?

The DAC form binds albumin in the bloodstream, extending its active duration significantly. The no-DAC form (Modified GRF 1-29) lacks that carrier attachment and has a shorter activity window. Both are research-use-only.

### Why does CJC-1295 resist enzymatic breakdown better than natural GHRH?

Four amino acid substitutions in its 29-residue sequence reduce recognition by proteolytic enzymes that rapidly degrade native GHRH, making the synthetic analog more stable in laboratory and in-vitro study conditions.

### Is CJC-1295 legal for human use or approved by the FDA?

No. CJC-1295 has no approved human therapeutic use in the US or EU, was not recommended for the 503A compounding bulks list, and is banned at all times under the WADA Prohibited List (class S2).
