Tesamorelin vs CJC-1295
Tesamorelin and CJC-1295 are both GHRH analogs, so the comparison is really within the same family: two ways of raising growth-hormone release via the GHRH receptor. Tesamorelin is the one with a distinctive visceral-fat literature; CJC-1295 is the one often paired with DAC for an extended half-life.

SIDE BY SIDE
| Tesamorelin | CJC-1295 | |
|---|---|---|
| Class | GHRH analog (stabilised) | GHRH analog (often DAC-modified) |
| Receptor | GHRH receptor | GHRH receptor |
| Distinctive research focus | Visceral (deep abdominal) adipose tissue, metabolic parameters | Sustained baseline GH elevation |
| Half-life | Stabilised — longer than native GHRH | Very long with DAC modification |
| Research role | Metabolic / visceral-fat GHRH analog | Long-acting baseline GHRH analog |
| Commonly paired with | A secretagogue such as Ipamorelin | A secretagogue such as Ipamorelin |
WHEN TO RESEARCH WHICH
Research Tesamorelin when the interest is the GHRH pathway with its well-known visceral-adipose and metabolic research behind it. Research CJC-1295 when the interest is a GHRH analog studied for a sustained baseline, especially in its DAC-modified long-acting form. Same receptor and family; the distinction is the specific research profile and half-life. We stock Tesamorelin; CJC-1295 is a reference here.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
What is the difference between Tesamorelin and CJC-1295?
Both are GHRH analogs acting at the GHRH receptor. Tesamorelin has a distinctive visceral-fat and metabolic research literature, while CJC-1295 is studied for a sustained baseline, especially in its DAC-modified long-acting form. Same family, different profiles.
Are both GHRH analogs?
Yes — both prompt GH release via the GHRH receptor rather than supplying GH directly, which is why they are compared within the same family. Tesamorelin is supplied for research purposes only.
Do you stock both?
We stock Tesamorelin, HPLC-verified with a Certificate of Analysis. CJC-1295 appears here as a reference comparison; browse our GH research range for current stock.
