CJC-1295 without DAC (also called Mod GRF 1-29) is a growth-hormone releasing hormone analog. The 'No DAC' version has a short duration, producing a short, pulsatile GH release, which is why it is frequently combined with a secretagogue like Ipamorelin.
Commonly reported dosing (5 mg vial)
| Phase | Dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting | 100 mcg | 0.06 mL | 6 |
| Step | 150 mcg | 0.09 mL | 9 |
| Standard | 200 mcg | 0.12 mL | 12 |
| Higher | 300 mcg | 0.18 mL | 18 |
Commonly reported reconstitution steps
- Vials are usually brought to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes) first.
- 3 mL of bacteriostatic water is added slowly down the inside wall of the 5 mg vial.
- The vial is swirled gently until clear, not shaken.
- This gives 1.67 mg/mL. Mixed vials are typically labeled with the date and refrigerated.
Storage
Before mixing: Sealed vials are commonly stored refrigerated (2-8 °C) and protected from light, or frozen for long-term storage.
After mixing: Reconstituted solution is commonly kept refrigerated (2-8 °C), protected from light, and not frozen.
How it works
CJC-1295 binds the GHRH receptor on the pituitary, amplifying the natural signal to release growth hormone. Without the DAC modification, the effect is brief and pulse-like.
Researched for
- Studied for short, pulse-like GH release.
- Studied in combination with ghrelin-mimetic secretagogues (Ipamorelin).
Notes
- Mostly studied in combination protocols rather than alone.
- Typical amounts correspond to small volumes on a U-100 syringe.
