Gonadorelin vs Mod GRF 1-29
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Gonadorelin
Gonadorelin is a synthetic form of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the pituitary to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), supporting natural hormone production.

Mod GRF 1-29 (Modified GRF 1-29, also called CJC-1295 without DAC or Tetrasubstituted GRF 1-29) is a modified growth hormone-releasing hormone analog with improved stability over natural GHRH.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Gonadorelin | Mod GRF 1-29 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Binds to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland, triggering pulsatile release of LH and FSH. This stimulates testicular or ovarian function and natural sex hormone production. | Binds to GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland to stimulate growth hormone release. Four amino acid substitutions improve resistance to enzymatic degradation while maintaining biological activity. |
| Typical Dosage | Men: 100-200mcg subcutaneously 2-3 times daily. Women (fertility): Per clinical protocol. HRT support: Often combined with other therapies. | Typical dosing: 100-300mcg administered 2-3 times daily, usually combined with a GHRP like Ipamorelin for synergistic effects. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection. Pulsatile administration mimics natural GnRH release patterns. Often used during or after testosterone therapy. | Subcutaneous injection. Best administered on empty stomach. Short half-life (~30 minutes) necessitates multiple daily doses, unlike DAC version. |
| Side Effects | Headache, flushing, injection site reactions. In women may cause ovarian hyperstimulation. Generally well-tolerated. | Flushing, headache, dizziness, and injection site reactions. Generally well-tolerated. May cause water retention. |
