CJC-1295 (no DAC): literature-reported ranges

Without the drug-affinity complex, CJC-1295 is a stabilised GHRH fragment with a short half-life, designed to produce a pulse rather than a sustained elevation. The published record is small — pharmacology studies of GHRH analogue variants rather than a full trial programme.

Read this first

Every figure on this page is a range reported in published literature or in a publicly documented study protocol. It is a record of what researchers used, not a recommendation, a therapeutic protocol, or advice. Peptide Intel Hub is an independent publication, sells nothing, and describes these compounds as in-vitro research reagents only.

What the published studies reported

Each row below describes one body of work. The model and population are part of the figure — a rodent per-kilogram quantity and a human trial quantity are not comparable.

GHRH analogue pulse pharmacology

Reported quantity
1–2 µg/kg per administration
Frequency
Single administration per measurement series
Study duration
Sampling over 120–180 minutes

The four amino-acid substitutions exist to resist DPP-4 degradation, not to extend duration.

Multi-day GH/IGF-1 research arms

Reported quantity
Around 100 µg per administration in the reported designs
Frequency
One to three times daily
Study duration
Days to several weeks

Frequent administration is used precisely because the molecule does not persist.

CJC-1295 (no DAC) · 5 mg Vial

CJC-1295 NO DAC is dosed at 100 mcg–300 mcg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 5 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 1.67 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.

Reconstitute
Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~ 1.67 mg/mL concentration.
Typical daily range
100–300 mcg once daily (gradual titration).
Easy measuring
At 1.67 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 16.7 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.
Storage
Lyophilized: refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate and use within 1–2 weeks; for longer storage, freeze at ≤−20 °C (≤−4 °F).

Mixed with 3 ml of bacteriostatic water

The same arithmetic for every vial size CJC-1295 (no DAC) is supplied in, using a fixed 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. One unit on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.01 ml, so the unit column below is simply the volume that carries the reported amount. Educational arithmetic only — not instructions, and not medical advice.

Unit columns use the range reported for this compound (100 mcg–300 mcg). Only the vial sizes this compound is actually supplied in are shown, and every figure assumes exactly 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. For any other volume, use the reconstitution calculator.

Reconstitution maths

A 5 mg vial in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL; 0.04 mL draws 100 µg.

How to read these figures

  • 'CJC-1295' with and without DAC are pharmacologically different molecules and their figures are not interchangeable.
  • GHRH analogues depend on an intact pituitary axis in every published design.
  • Most quantitative claims for this exact molecule are extrapolated from the broader GHRH literature.
