CJC-1295 Peptide: a Synthetic GHRH Explained
CJC-1295 is a 30-amino-acid synthetic version of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). A plain-language look at the receptor it targets and what studies have measured about pulse frequency.

CJC-1295 Peptide: a Synthetic GHRH Explained
Transcript
- Hi, Peppy here, and this is CJC1295, a 30-amino acid pept
- ide, a synthetic version of your body's
- own growth hormone-releasing hormone, called GHRH. Here's
- what makes it different. Your pituitary
- gland releases growth hormone in natural pulses, mostly
- while you sleep. CJC1295 amplifies those
- pulses without overriding them. How? It binds to the GHRH
- receptor in your pituitary and tells it
- to release more growth hormone on your body's natural
- rhythm. Because it has a short half-life,
- the pulses stay clean. You amplify your own rhythm instead
- of locking it open all day.
