What is Bacteriostatic Water and what is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?
Bacteriostatic Water is classified as Sterile preserved laboratory diluent; CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin as Co-formulated GHRH-analog and secretagogue blend. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile preserved laboratory diluent
Bacteriostatic water is not a peptide but a laboratory reagent: sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The benzyl alcohol inhibits the growth of common contaminating organisms, which allows a sealed vial to be accessed more than once over the course of a study without the reagent itself becoming a source of microbial contamination.

Co-formulated GHRH-analog and secretagogue blend
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is a co-formulated research blend of two peptides that act at separate receptors. CJC-1295 without DAC, also referred to as Mod GRF 1-29, is a modified 29-amino-acid analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone characterized as a GHRH-receptor agonist. Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide characterized as a selective agonist at the growth-hormone secretagogue receptor, GHS-R1a.

shop the compounds →Frequently asked questions about Bacteriostatic Water and CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
What is bacteriostatic water?
It is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. Verve supplies it as a laboratory reagent for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is it used for in research?
It is used as a diluent for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds and for preparing working dilutions from stock solutions in a laboratory setting.
What is CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?
It is a co-formulated research blend of CJC-1295 without DAC (also called Mod GRF 1-29), a GHRH analog, and ipamorelin, a selective GHS-R1a agonist. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 with and without DAC?
The DAC (drug affinity complex) modification is a chemical addition studied for its effect on the analog's circulating half-life in pre-clinical models. The no-DAC form, Mod GRF 1-29, lacks that modification and is the component used in this blend.
