CJC-1295 + DAC Dosage & Reconstitution Guide
Research and educational use only — not medical advice, and not for human consumption. The figures below are summarized from public sources, product labeling, and community reports, and are not a prescription or a substitute for a qualified clinician.
Reconstitution
CJC-1295 + DAC ships as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder that has to be mixed with bacteriostatic water before use. Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe and add it to a 5 mg vial, letting the stream run down the inside wall of the glass rather than blasting the powder directly. Swirl gently — never shake — until the solution is clear, then keep it refrigerated.
Worked example. 1 mL into a 5 mg vial gives a concentration of 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL). A 1 mg dose then works out to 0.2 mL = 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Scale the water volume up or down to make your target dose land on an easy-to-read mark (1 unit = 0.01 mL).
- Wipe both vial stoppers (peptide and bacteriostatic water) with an alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Inject it slowly against the inside wall of the peptide vial.
- Swirl gently until fully dissolved; do not shake.
- Label the vial with the contents, concentration, and date, and store it in the refrigerator.
Dosing schedule
| Phase | Dose | Volume | Insulin units (U-100) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 1 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 units | once weekly |
| Weeks 5+ | 1 mg | 0.2 mL | 20 units | once or twice weekly (max 2 mg/week) |
Timing & cycling
Same day each week, any time; food does not matter much with the DAC version.
Cycle length. 8–12 weeks, then 4+ weeks off and reassess bloods.
Storage & handling
Keep the lyophilized (unmixed) vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F) in a dry, dark place — it tolerates short periods at room temperature during shipping. Once reconstituted, store it at 2–8 °C, never frozen, and use it within about 2–4 weeks (sooner if the solution turns cloudy or discolored). Swab the stopper before every draw and use a fresh needle each time.
Supplies you'll need
- CJC-1295 + DAC vials — about 2 for an 8-week run at the upper dose
- Bacteriostatic water — 1 mL per vial (a 10–30 mL multi-dose bottle covers several vials)
- U-100 insulin syringes (0.3–0.5 mL / 30–50 unit barrels are easiest to read) — roughly 8 for 8 weeks, plus spares
- Alcohol swabs — one per injection and one per vial draw
- Sharps container for safe needle disposal
Key points
- The DAC arm keeps GH stimulation running all week (the 'GH bleed') — some prefer the pulsed non-DAC version for that reason.
- Do not combine the full weekly DAC dose with aggressive daily secretagogue stacks without watching IGF-1.
What to monitor
IGF-1 at 6–8 weeks — DAC keeps levels continuously elevated, so this is the number to watch.
Legal & prescription status
No legal prescription exists. It is an unapproved research chemical, sold only for laboratory research and labelled 'not for human consumption.' It is not FDA-approved for any human use.
