What is CJC-1295 (with DAC)?
Long-acting growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates natural GH and IGF-1 production. The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) extends half-life significantly.
How CJC-1295 (with DAC) works
Binds to GHRH receptors in the pituitary, triggering pulsatile GH release. Works synergistically with GHRPs like Ipamorelin.
Benefits & uses
- Sustained GH elevation
- Muscle retention
- Recovery
- Anti-aging
Common uses: GH pulse support, recovery, sleep quality, body composition, anti-aging protocols.
CJC-1295 (with DAC) dosage
- Typical dose
- Typical: 1–2 mg per week SubQ (DAC extends half-life, less frequent). 8–12 week blocks.
- Protocol notes
- 1-2mg per week. Does not require fasting.
CJC-1295 (with DAC) half-life
6-8 days
CJC-1295 (with DAC) side effects
Water retention, tingling, head rush, fatigue.
- Water retention
- Tingling
- Head rush
- Fatigue
Warnings & monitoring
- Research use only
- Long half-life means side effects persist longer

Preparation & storage
- Preparation
- Mix a 2 mg vial with 2 mL bac water → 1,000 mcg/mL. A 1 mg dose = 1 mL = 100 units.
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute a 2 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water → 1 mg/mL. A 1 mg dose = 1 mL = 100 units on a U-100 syringe.
- Storage
- Lyophilized: refrigerate (2–8 °C). Reconstituted: refrigerate and use within 30 days.
