What differs between CJC-1295 no DAC and Tesamorelin
Both are GHRH-derived chains, and both sheets carry a calculated mass, 3,368.0 and 5,135.9. What separates them is how far each departs from the native sequence. CJC-1295 without DAC is GHRH 1-29 as a C-terminal amide with four substitutions, at positions 2, 8, 15 and 27. Tesamorelin is the full GHRH 1-44 amide with its native residues intact and a trans-3-hexenoyl group capping the N-terminal tyrosine. That makes tesamorelin about fifteen residues and some 1,770 mass units the heavier of the two, and it keeps the methionine at position 27 that the substituted chain has replaced with leucine: so tesamorelin can form a methionine sulfoxide that CJC-1295 without DAC cannot. The strengths of each and their per-milligram figures are below.

Questions
What is the difference between CJC-1295 no DAC and Tesamorelin?
Both are GHRH-derived chains, and both sheets carry a calculated mass, 3,368.0 and 5,135.9. What separates them is how far each departs from the native sequence.
Which of the two has a free amine at tyrosine 1?
CJC-1295 no DAC: its printed chain opens YADAIF, with no group on the tyrosine. Tesamorelin’s tyrosine 1 is capped by the trans-3-hexenoyl group, so that end of its 44 residues bears no charge. Both still sit near +4 at neutral pH, tesamorelin from eight basic residues and the shorter chain from five; their masses differ by 1,767.9, 5,135.9 to 3,368.0.
Which is cheaper per mg, CJC-1295 no DAC or Tesamorelin?
Strength for strength, CJC-1295 no DAC costs less per mg at the two strengths both sell by the single box: at 5mg $1.890 per mg against $2.400 (CND5, TSM5), at 10mg $1.747 per mg against $2.258 (CND10, TSM10).
What are the molecular weights of CJC-1295 no DAC and Tesamorelin?
CJC-1295 no DAC’s calculated average mass is 3,368.0 g/mol and Tesamorelin’s 5,135.9 g/mol, 1,767.9 apart; in electrospray the ions come at m/z 1123.7 and 843.0 (3+ and 4+) for CJC-1295 no DAC against 1713.0 and 1285.0 (3+ and 4+) for Tesamorelin. On each certificate the measured mass is matched to the line’s calculated average mass, within about one unit, as how to read a peptide COA sets out.
Are CJC-1295 no DAC and Tesamorelin made to the same specification?
Yes: both are supplied to purity not less than 98.0 percent by RP-HPLC and net content within 5 percent of label, and each certificate reports those with a measured mass, matched to the calculated figure on each sheet. The retest date is on the batch record. What differs is each molecule’s own chemistry, described on its compound page.
