Is Modified GRF 1-29 legal in Australia?

Sold as "CJC-1295 without DAC", which makes no sense. The DAC is the part that makes a molecule CJC-1295. The human study everyone quotes found growth hormone 2 to 10 fold higher for 6 days or more, with half a dose cleared in 5.8 to 8.1 days. That study used the DAC form. No human study of the version without DAC has been found.

Start with the name, because the name is the mistake. The 2005 paper that created CJC-1295 tested three changed versions of GRF 1-29, a piece of the body's growth hormone releasing hormone.

How it works: It copies growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). It presses the GHRH switch in the pituitary, the small gland under the brain.

Approval history: Not approved for any use, and not reviewed. Sermorelin, the unchanged form of GRF 1-29, was an approved medicine in the United States. It is no longer sold in its original form. Tesamorelin, a different copy of the brain's growth hormone release signal (GHRH), is approved for the shifted body fat some people with HIV get.

Registers or lists medicines and health products on the ARTG, its official register. It also sorts substances into schedules in the Poisons Standard. Many peptides are Schedule 4 (prescription only). So having them without a prescription, or importing them for yourself, is restricted. That is true even when no product is registered.

The legal category above is how The Longevity Archive reads Therapeutic Goods Administration listings for Modified GRF 1-29 on the reviewed date. It is not a legal opinion. Rules change. Bringing a compound into the country, prescribing it and owning it can each be treated differently. Check with the agency before you act on anything here.

Whether Modified GRF 1-29 is banned in sport is set by the World Anti-Doping Code and by military rules, not by its legal status in Australia. Before you compete or get tested, look up Modified GRF 1-29 by name on the Prohibited List, or look up a named product in Global DRO. Under the World Anti-Doping Code, category S0 bans, at all times, any drug-like substance that meets two tests. No other section of the List covers it. And no government health regulator anywhere has a current approval for it as a treatment in people. Many substances that are approved somewhere are banned by name in another section. So approval does not mean a substance is allowed in sport.
