CJC-1295 No-DAC vs MGF

CJC-1295 No-DAC vs MGF — mechanism, half-life, dosing, and research status compared. Which is right for your protocol?

CJC-1295 No-DAC
Growth Hormone & IGF

CJC-1295 No-DAC (also called Modified GRF 1-29 or Mod GRF) is a short-acting GHRH (Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone) analog consisting of the first 29 amino acids of endogenous GHRH with four amino acid substitutions to improve stability and receptor binding....

MGF
Growth Hormone & IGF

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a splice variant of IGF-1 produced locally in mechanically stressed muscle tissue (IGF-1Ec isoform). It is generated when the IGF-1 gene is alternatively spliced in response to muscle damage or exercise-induced mechanical loading....
