CJC-1295 vs Hexarelin
Both are gh secretagogue compounds. Here's how they line up on the evidence — graded the same way.
| CJC-1295 | Hexarelin | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | A synthetic ghrelin-mimicking peptide that reliably spikes growth hormone in small studies, but was never approved and is banned in sport. |

CJC-1295
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…
Hexarelin
Hexarelin is a lab-made peptide (a short chain of amino acids) that copies what the hunger hormone ghrelin does: it tells the body to release a quick, short burst of growth hormone (GH). Small human studies in the 1990s showed it does this dependably. But every one of those trials was tiny, brief,…
