CJC-1295 With and Without DAC: The Distinction Vendors Blur
More confusion surrounds CJC-1295 labelling than almost any other peptide we track. Two materially different molecules are routinely sold under the same product name.

DAC versus no DAC
CJC-1295 with DAC includes a drug affinity complex that dramatically extends its half-life. The version sold without DAC is, chemically, modified GRF (1-29) — a much shorter-acting molecule.
These are not interchangeable. A listing that does not state which version it contains has failed the first test.
Research standing
Around 61 studies in our index reference the compound, mainly early-phase pharmacokinetic and GH-release work. We grade the evidence as Moderate.
Pricing
2mg vials commonly range from £15 to £27. The DAC version usually carries a premium reflecting the more involved synthesis.
Verification checklist
Confirm the version in writing, match the molecular weight on the mass spec result to that version, and check the certificate batch against the vial label.
Mismatched molecular weights are the most common documentation failure we see in this category.
Frequently asked
Which version is more common on the market?
The non-DAC version is more widely listed, though it is often sold simply as 'CJC-1295'.
How can I tell them apart from a certificate?
The expected molecular weight differs substantially. The mass spectrometry figure gives it away.
