CJC-1295 vs GHRP-2
Both are gh secretagogue compounds. Here's how they line up on the evidence — graded the same way.
| CJC-1295 | GHRP-2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence | Preliminary human | Preliminary human |
| Class | GH secretagogue | GH secretagogue |
| Summary | A long-acting GHRH analog that raises GH and IGF-1 in short human trials, but has no clinical-outcome data, is not FDA-approved, and is banned in sport. | GHRP-2 (pralmorelin) provokes a growth hormone pulse. It is an approved diagnostic in Japan, but the human therapeutic and anti-aging evidence is small and old. |

CJC-1295
CJC-1295 is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog designed to make the body secrete more of its own growth hormone (GH). Short human studies confirm it raises GH and IGF-1, but no trial has shown it changes any health or performance outcome, and no version is FDA-approved.
GHRP-2
GHRP-2 is one of those compounds with a genuine, narrow medical use that has been stretched far past what the evidence supports. In Japan it is an approved diagnostic: a single dose provokes a measurable spike in growth hormone, which helps doctors test for growth hormone deficiency. Online, it is…
