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 | 6/10 | 6/10 |
| 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 is a lab-made copy of a natural hormone called GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone — the signal that tells your body to make growth hormone). It's built to nudge your body into releasing more of its own growth hormone (GH). Short studies in people confirm it does raise GH and IGF-1 (a…

GHRP-2 is one of those compounds with a real but narrow medical use that has been stretched far past what the evidence supports. In Japan it is an approved diagnostic tool: one dose triggers a measurable spike in growth hormone, which helps doctors check whether someone is making too little of it.…
