CJC-1295 (with DAC) is a growth hormone peptide. Typical research dosing is 1–2x weekly, and the body of supporting research is phase 2 clinical trials.
CJC-1295 with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) is a modified form of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) that includes a Drug Affinity Complex, a chemical modification that allows it to bind to albumin in the blood, dramatically extending its half-life from minutes to 6–8 days. Browse the full peptide library for related GH compounds.
This long half-life enables once or twice weekly dosing, creating what is known as a "GH bleed," a sustained elevation in growth hormone levels rather than sharp pulsatile spikes. This is fundamentally different from CJC-1295 without DAC, which produces short, natural-pattern GH pulses.
The sustained GH elevation from CJC-1295 with DAC is preferred by users seeking body composition changes (more muscle, less fat) over the long-term, as it maintains growth factor levels more consistently. For clean, pulsatile GH release, consider stacking with ipamorelin. For clinically validated visceral fat reduction, tesamorelin has FDA approval for that specific indication. However, some argue that constant GH elevation is less physiological than pulsatile release.
GHRH Mimicry: CJC-1295 (with DAC) binds to the GHRH receptor in the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of growth hormone.
Albumin Binding: The DAC modification causes the peptide to bind to albumin (the most abundant blood plasma protein), protecting it from enzymatic degradation and extending its half-life to 6–8 days.
IGF-1 Elevation: Elevated GH stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1), which is responsible for many of GH's anabolic and regenerative effects in muscle and connective tissue.
| Phase | Dose | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1–2mg | Once per week | 8–12 weeks |
| Stacked (with Ipa) | 1mg CJC + 300mcg Ipa | 2–3x per week | 12 weeks |
Always start at the lowest effective dose and titrate up gradually.
Turning a dose in milligrams into units on a syringe is arithmetic, not judgement. The reconstitution calculator does it for any vial size, and the rest of the calculator set covers cost per milligram and route comparison.
