What is the difference between CJC-1295 with DAC and without DAC?

The DAC (drug affinity complex) modification lets the molecule bind albumin in the bloodstream, extending its half life from minutes to roughly 6 to 8 days, which produces a sustained elevation in growth hormone and IGF-1 rather than a single pulse. CJC-1295 without DAC behaves more like a short acting GHRH analogue, closer to sermorelin's pulsatile pattern. Neither version is FDA approved.
