CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin UK — Blend Research Guide, DAC vs No-DAC
Coming soon — we don't stock CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin as a standalone vial yet. This guide is reference only. See what's in stock.
Also known as Mod GRF 1-29 / Ipamorelin blend
The CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin combination is one of the most searched peptide blends in the UK research market. It pairs a growth-hormone releasing hormone analogue with a selective growth-hormone secretagogue, each acting on a different receptor within the same axis.
This guide explains what the blend is, the critical difference between the DAC and no-DAC forms of CJC-1295, how the two compounds are handled in research, and the legal status of buying these peptides in the UK.

What is the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin blend?
In research literature, CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are frequently studied together because they target complementary receptors. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analogue that binds the GHRH receptor; Ipamorelin is a selective agonist of the ghrelin receptor (GHS-R1a). Together they provide a dual-receptor model for investigating growth-hormone-axis signalling.
The blend most commonly referenced is CJC-1295 without DAC — also called Modified GRF (1-29) — combined with Ipamorelin. This is the short-acting, pulsatile form of CJC-1295, not the long-acting DAC version.
DAC vs no-DAC — which version is in the blend?
The 'DAC' (drug affinity complex) extends the half-life of CJC-1295 by binding to serum albumin. That sounds useful, but it changes the research profile from pulsatile to sustained. Most combination protocols in the literature use the no-DAC form because it produces a signal closer to natural GHRH release.
- CJC-1295 no-DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) — short half-life, pulsatile signal, typically the form paired with Ipamorelin.
- CJC-1295 with DAC — long half-life, sustained elevation, usually studied as a standalone compound.
- If you are sourcing a 'CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin' blend, confirm whether the CJC-1295 component is no-DAC, as that is the standard research pairing.
Why researchers combine CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin
Because the two peptides act on different receptors in the same pathway, combining them allows researchers to model additive or synergistic signalling without the confounding effects of non-selective secretagogues. Ipamorelin's selectivity — minimal cortisol or prolactin impact — makes it a cleaner variable than older GHRP compounds.
Reconstitution and handling
Both peptides are supplied lyophilised. Reconstitute slowly with bacteriostatic water added down the inside wall of the vial, then swirl gently — never shake. Some CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin preparations dissolve more cleanly with a two-stage approach using a small amount of acetic acid water first, followed by bacteriostatic water. Use our peptide calculator for exact target concentrations.
Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Is the CJC-1295 in the blend with DAC or without DAC?
The standard research blend uses CJC-1295 without DAC (Modified GRF 1-29). The no-DAC form has a short half-life and produces a pulsatile signal, which is why it is paired with Ipamorelin in combination protocols. Always confirm the form when sourcing.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin?
CJC-1295 is a GHRH analogue that acts on the GHRH receptor. Ipamorelin is a selective growth-hormone secretagogue that acts on the ghrelin/GHS-R1a receptor. They are different receptors within the same growth-hormone axis.
Can you mix CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin in the same vial?
Combined vials exist for research convenience, but stability depends on the exact formulation, solvent and storage. For laboratory research, follow the supplier's Certificate of Analysis and reconstitution instructions, and use within the stated stability window.
How do I reconstitute CJC-1295 Ipamorelin?
Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the vial wall and swirl gently — never shake. Some preparations benefit from a small amount of acetic acid water first. Use the peptide calculator for exact volumes and store reconstituted peptide at 2–8°C.
Is CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin legal in the UK?
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is legal to buy and possess in the UK for laboratory research purposes. It is not a licensed medicine in the UK, is not prescribed by the NHS, and is supplied strictly for in vitro research use only — not for human or animal consumption.
How is CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin reconstituted?
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is supplied lyophilised. Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently — never shake, as agitation can damage the peptide chain. Once dissolved, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days. Use our free peptide calculator for exact volumes rather than following generic charts.
Do you supply a Certificate of Analysis for CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin?
Yes. Every batch is independently HPLC and mass-spec tested and the batch number on the vial matches a published Certificate of Analysis, so purity can be verified before use.
How fast is UK delivery?
