CJC-1295 (No DAC)
CJC-1295 (No DAC) is a growth hormone peptide. Typical research dosing is 1–3x daily, and the body of supporting research is research grade.
What is CJC-1295 (No DAC)
CJC-1295 without DAC (also known as Modified GRF 1-29 or Mod GRF 1-29) is a truncated, stabilized form of GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) with a half-life of approximately 30 minutes. Unlike CJC-1295 with DAC, it does not bind to albumin and is cleared relatively quickly from the body. Browse the full peptide library for related GH compounds.
This shorter half-life means it produces a sharp, pulsatile GH release that more closely mimics the natural pattern of GH secretion, a burst every few hours. When combined with Ipamorelin (which activates the GH secretagogue receptor), the two peptides work synergistically to produce significantly higher and more sustained GH pulses than either can achieve alone.
CJC-1295 (no DAC) + Ipamorelin is considered the gold-standard GH protocol in the peptide community. It's favored for its physiological GH pattern, excellent tolerability, and the ability to time doses strategically (pre-sleep, pre-workout). For FDA-approved visceral fat reduction specifically, see tesamorelin.
How it works
GHRH Mimicry: Binds to GHRH receptors in the pituitary, signaling it to release stored GH. Acts like a "command" signal.
Short Half-Life Advantage: The ~30 minute half-life means each dose creates a clean GH pulse that rises and falls naturally, mimicking physiological GH patterns rather than creating a sustained bleed.
Ipamorelin Synergy: While CJC (no DAC) signals the pituitary to release GH, Ipamorelin amplifies that signal via the ghrelin receptor. Combined, GH output is substantially higher than either alone.
Reported benefits
- Natural pulsatile GH release pattern
- Excellent synergy with Ipamorelin (gold-standard stack)
- Strategic timing possible (sleep, workout)
- Less water retention vs CJC with DAC
- Improved sleep, recovery, and body composition
- Lower risk of pituitary desensitization vs DAC version
Dosing protocol
| Phase | Dose | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| CJC/Ipa Stack | 100mcg CJC + 100mcg Ipa | 1–3x daily | 12 weeks |
| Pre-Sleep Dose | 100mcg each | Before bed (fasted) | Ongoing |
| Cycle | 100mcg each | 2x daily | 12 weeks on, 4 off |
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.
