What This Paper Covers, in Plain Language

What It Covers

The paper reports a study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) and CJC-1295 (no DAC), Mod GRF 1-29, published as a review.

The study used "netnography" to explore female use of CJC-1295, a synthetic growth hormone analogue from the perspectives contained in Internet forum activity.

Who the Included Studies Covered

PubMed tags the participants as women only.

A systematic Internet search was conducted using variation of the term "CJC-1295"; and combined with "forum." Ninety-six hits related to bodybuilding websites where CJC-1295 was mentioned.

Following application of exclusion criteria to confine to female use and evidence of forum activity, 9 sites remained.

How the Review Was Done

These were searched internally for reference to CJC-1295.

Twenty-three discussion threads relating to female use of CJC-1295 formed the end data set, and analyzed using the Empirical Phenomenological Psychological method.

What Was Measured

Topics PubMed links to this paper include Body Image, Decision Making, Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone, Human Growth Hormone, Peptide Fragments and Self Care.

Author keywords: CJC-1295 and netnography.

Our Notes on the Compounds

Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over): Constant levels suppress the body's own GHRH, raise somatostatin and dull pituitary response.

CJC-1295 (no DAC), Mod GRF 1-29: A modified GHRH(1-29) with four amino-acid swaps for stability; short-acting, unlike CJC-1295 with DAC.

CJC-1295 with DAC: A long-acting GHRH analog that binds albumin; human studies showed GH and IGF-1 rises lasting days after one injection.
