CJC-1295

GHRH analogue

Not ARTG-approved

What it is

A modified growth-hormone-releasing hormone analogue, often discussed alongside other secretagogues.

What the evidence shows

Early human pharmacology studies show it can raise growth-hormone and IGF-1 levels, but there is little robust trial evidence for the longevity or body-composition claims commonly attached to it.

Safety & reported risks

Unapproved injectable supply means uncertain purity and dosing. Reported effects include water retention, flushing and headaches; long-term safety in healthy people is not established. Prohibited in sport.

Status in Australia

Not ARTG-approved as a finished medicine. Online "research" supply is not a lawful pathway for human use.

How it’s lawfully accessed

No general lawful supply for human use. It may be discussed in a compounding context under prescription, but it is not ARTG-registered and online supply is unregulated.

Frequently asked questions

Is CJC-1295 the same as sermorelin?

Both are GHRH analogues, but they are different molecules with different regulatory status: sermorelin has a prescription pathway, whereas CJC-1295 is not ARTG-approved.
