Tesamorelin vs CJC-1295
Tesamorelin is a synthetic GHRH(1-44) analog (trans-3-hexenoic acid-modified). CJC-1295 is a modified GRF(1-29), protease-resistant synthetic GHRH(1-29) analog (no albumin-binding DAC). They are different materials with different identities and different research literatures; the table below sets the two identities side by side, the sections after it summarise what each is studied for, and the certificate rows show how each has tested.

What is the difference between Tesamorelin and CJC-1295?
Tesamorelin is a synthetic GHRH(1-44) analog (trans-3-hexenoic acid-modified); CJC-1295 is a modified GRF(1-29), protease-resistant synthetic GHRH(1-29) analog (no albumin-binding DAC). Tesamorelin has 44 residues and CJC-1295 has 29. Their molecular identities, the models they have been studied in and their certificate records are all listed on this page.
Are Tesamorelin and CJC-1295 sold together?
No. Eon Peptides lists them as separate catalogue items, each with its own sizes and its own certificates.
How has each tested?
Tesamorelin: 10 documented third-party HPLC results from 99.12% to 99.93%. CJC-1295: 4 documented results from 99.18% to 99.92%. Every certificate is published and linked from each compound's lab results page.
Which one should a research project use?
That depends on the pathway and model under study, which is a scientific question this page does not answer. What it does is put the identities, the described mechanisms and the analytical records side by side so the choice can be made on documented facts. Both materials are for laboratory research use only.
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Nothing on this page describes or recommends use in people or animals.
