CJC-1295 DAC 5mg Dosage & Mixing Guide

TL;DR

CJC-1295 with DAC is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog engineered for an extended half-life, studied for prolonged effects on growth-hormone release. The evidence base is limited, with only early human pharmacology work and mostly preclinical data. It is a research compound intended for laboratory study and educational reference only, not medical use.

What is CJC-1295 with DAC?

CJC-1295 with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) is a long-acting synthetic GHRH analog with an extended half-life of approximately 8 days. The DAC modification allows albumin binding, maintaining elevated GH and IGF-1 levels with weekly dosing.

The 5mg vial provides excellent value for extended research protocols, offering 2.5-5 weeks of dosing depending on protocol.

Dosage Protocol

Concentration Calculations

With 5mg peptide in 2.5mL BAC water:

Concentration: 2mg/mL = 2000mcg/mL
Per unit (U-100 syringe): 20mcg per unit

Common Dose Calculations

Desired Dose	Draw Volume	Syringe Units
500mcg	0.25mL	25 units
1000mcg (1mg)	0.50mL	50 units
1500mcg	0.75mL	75 units
2000mcg (2mg)	1.00mL	100 units

Doses Per Vial

At 2mg/mL concentration (2.5mL total = 5mg):

Weekly Dose	Doses Per Vial	Duration
1mg/week	5 doses	5 weeks
2mg/week	2.5 doses	2.5 weeks
1mg 2x/week	2.5 weeks	2.5 weeks

Suggested Research Protocols

Protocol A: Standard Weekly

Dose: 2mg
Frequency: Once weekly
Duration: 8-12 weeks
Vials needed: ~5 for 12-week protocol

Protocol B: Split Dose

Dose: 1mg
Frequency: 2x weekly
Duration: 8-12 weeks

Protocol C: With Daily GHRP

CJC-1295 DAC: 2mg weekly
Ipamorelin: 200mcg 2-3x daily
Duration: 8-12 weeks

Injection Guide

Subcutaneous Administration

Clean injection site with alcohol swab
Pinch skin fold at abdomen or thigh
Insert needle at 45-90° angle
Inject slowly (larger volume)
Wait 10 seconds before withdrawing
Apply gentle pressure

Timing

Due to long half-life:

Can be any time of day
Food doesn’t significantly impact
Same day each week for consistency

Storage Requirements

Lyophilized (Powder Form)

Temperature: -20°C (-4°F) or colder
Duration: 2+ years

Reconstituted (Mixed with BAC Water)

Temperature: 2-8°C (36-46°F)
Duration: 4 weeks

Research Considerations

Why Choose 5mg Vials

Factor	2mg Vial	5mg Vial
Duration (2mg/week)	1 week	2.5 weeks
Cost efficiency	Lower	Higher
Convenience	More vials needed	Fewer reconstitutions
Best for	Trial/testing	Extended protocols

Stacking Options

CJC-1295 DAC pairs well with:

Stack	Rationale
+ Ipamorelin	Adds pulsatile release
+ GHRP-2	Stronger GH bursts
+ BPC-157	Recovery support

Sourcing for Research

Source from verified suppliers that provide third-party testing and certificates of analysis (COA) for each batch. Compare purity documentation, shipping conditions, and batch traceability before purchasing research materials.
