What is the difference between CJC-1295 with DAC and without DAC?
The DAC add-on lets the molecule stick to albumin, a protein in the blood. That stretches its half-life from minutes to roughly 6 to 8 days. The result is a steady rise in growth hormone and IGF-1 (a growth signal the liver makes), not a single burst. CJC-1295 without DAC acts more like a short-acting version, closer to sermorelin's on-and-off bursts. Neither version is FDA approved.
