CJC-1295- Summary
- SLU-PP-332 is a small molecule exercise mimetic that activates estrogen-related receptors ERRalpha and ERRdelta (ERRa/d), transcription factors that drive oxidative metabolism programs. In animal studies it significantly enhanced endurance capacity and metabolic fitness without exercise, mimicking many of the cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations of aerobic training.
- CJC-1295 is a synthetic GHRH analog that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone. The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) version has a markedly extended half-life. The No DAC version (Modified GRF 1-29) preserves natural pulsatile GH release and is preferred in most protocols.
- Half-Life
- Not established in humans; rodent pharmacokinetics suggest hours
- ~30 minutes (No DAC) / 6–8 days (with DAC)

- Key Benefits
- Significant enhancement of aerobic endurance capacity
- Increases mitochondrial density and oxidative metabolism in muscle
- Promotes beneficial shift toward oxidative muscle fiber phenotype
- Improves cardiac efficiency and cardiovascular fitness markers
- Potential for obesity, metabolic syndrome, and heart failure treatment
- Exercise mimetic for populations unable to exercise (disability, frailty, disease)
- Sustained increase in growth hormone levels
- Enhanced muscle growth and strength
- Improved fat metabolism and body composition
- Better recovery and tissue repair
- Increased bone density
- Enhanced immune function
- Improved skin quality and collagen production
- Synergistic GH release when combined with GHRPs like Ipamorelin
- Side Effects
- Limited human data; all studies are preclinical (rodent)
- Unknown cardiovascular effects with long-term or high-dose use in humans
- Potential hormonal interactions via ERR pathway (ERRs modulate estrogen-related signaling)
- Off-target effects not fully characterized
- Water retention / puffiness
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (with prolonged use)
