What is CJC-1295?

CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) with significantly extended half-life. Without DAC (~30 min): dosed 2–3x daily. With DAC (7–8 days): once weekly. Stimulates the pituitary to release GH in a natural pulsatile pattern. The CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin combination is the most popular peptide stack for anti-aging, body composition, and recovery. Benefits include improved fat metabolism, lean muscle, better sleep, and anti-aging effects on skin and collagen. Track your CJC-1295 dosing schedule with the DoseIQ app.

Benefits of CJC-1295

Dosing Protocols

Below are evidence-based CJC-1295 dosing protocols for different experience levels and goals. Always start at the lowest effective dose and assess tolerance before increasing.

Beginner: 100 mcg before bed, empty stomach. 12-week cycle.
Intermediate: 100–200 mcg 2–3x daily on empty stomach.
With DAC: 2 mg once weekly — convenient once-weekly dosing.

Reconstitution Guide

Proper reconstitution is critical for accurate dosing. Follow these steps carefully:

1
Add 2 mL BAC water to 2 mg vial = 1,000 mcg/mL
2
100 mcg = 0.10 mL | 200 mcg = 0.20 mL
3
Take on empty stomach for optimal GH response
4
Combine with Ipamorelin in same syringe for convenience

Injection Site Guide

Recommended sites: Subcutaneous, abdomen

Rotate injection sites to prevent scar tissue buildup. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab before injecting. Use a 27-29 gauge insulin syringe for subcutaneous injections. Pinch the skin, insert needle at 45-90°, and inject slowly.

Storage Guidelines

Lyophilized (powder) form: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Protect from light. Most peptides remain stable for 1–2 years unreconstituted.

Reconstituted solution: Refrigerate immediately after mixing. Use within 4 weeks typically. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides — this may damage the peptide structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is CJC-1295 used for?
A: Anti-aging, GH optimization, fat loss, muscle gain, improved sleep, recovery enhancement.
Q: Difference from HGH?
A: CJC-1295 stimulates your own pituitary — preserves natural feedback loops. HGH can suppress natural production.
Q: Best time to take?
A: Empty stomach, 3+ hours after last meal. Bedtime dosing maximizes natural overnight GH pulse.
Q: How to reconstitute?
A: 2 mL BAC water + 2 mg vial = 1,000 mcg/mL. 100 mcg = 0.1 mL.
Q: Cycle length?
A: 12 weeks on, 4 weeks off standard. Many run 3–6 month anti-aging cycles.
