CJC-1295
ExperimentalGrowth Hormone Peptides
A synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Available with or without Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) which extends half-life.
Molecular Weight
3367.9 Da (no DAC) / 3647.3 Da (with DAC)
Half-Life
30 min (no DAC) / 6-8 days (with DAC)
Ipamorelin
ExperimentalGrowth Hormone Peptides
A selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) that stimulates GH release without significantly affecting cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH.
Molecular Weight
711.9 Da
Half-Life
~2 hours
Sermorelin
FDA ApprovedGrowth Hormone Peptides
The first 29 amino acids of GHRH. Stimulates natural GH production and release from the pituitary. Considered a more physiological approach than exogenous GH.
Molecular Weight
3357.9 Da
Half-Life
~10-20 minutes
Tesamorelin
FDA ApprovedGrowth Hormone Peptides
A synthetic GHRH analog FDA-approved for reducing excess abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Also studied for cognitive benefits and NAFLD.
Molecular Weight
5135.9 Da
Half-Life
~26 minutes (but sustained GH elevation)
GHRP-6
ExperimentalGrowth Hormone Peptides
A first-generation growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates GH release via the ghrelin receptor. Known for strongly increasing appetite.
Molecular Weight
873.0 Da
Half-Life
~15-60 minutes
GHRP-2
Approved in Japan (diagnostic use)Growth Hormone Peptides
A second-generation growth hormone secretagogue with the strongest GH release of the GHRP family. Less appetite stimulation than GHRP-6.
Molecular Weight
817.9 Da
Half-Life
~15-60 minutes
Hexarelin
ExperimentalGrowth Hormone Peptides
The most potent GHRP for acute GH release but subject to desensitization with chronic use. Also has cardioprotective properties independent of GH.
Molecular Weight
887.0 Da
Half-Life
~70 minutes
MK-677
Investigational (Phase 2 completed)Growth Hormone Peptides
An orally active, non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue. Mimics ghrelin to stimulate sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation over 24 hours.
Molecular Weight
528.7 Da
Half-Life
~24 hours
