CJC-1295 (No DAC) + Ipamorelin – User Manual & Dosage Protocol Guide
Product Overview
CJC-1295 (No DAC) is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog without Drug Affinity Complex, meaning it has a shorter half-life compared to CJC-1295 DAC. Ipamorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP).
When combined, they are used to synergistically stimulate endogenous growth hormone (GH) secretion, supporting tissue repair, fat metabolism, and muscle growth.
Research Applications:
- Enhancing lean muscle growth and body composition research
- Supporting fat metabolism and recovery studies
- Promoting cellular regeneration and anti-aging research
- Investigating GH pulsatility and IGF-1 modulation
Disclaimer: This combination peptide is for research and experimental use only. It is not FDA-approved for therapeutic purposes. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
Forms Available
Product FormLyophilized Powder – Freeze-dried CJC-1295 (No DAC) + Ipamorelin for reconstitution
Injection Solution – Subcutaneous (SC) solution after reconstitution
Mechanism of Action
- CJC-1295 (No DAC): Stimulates GH release quickly due to short half-life (approximately 30 minutes)
- Ipamorelin: Stimulates GH release via GHRP receptors, minimizing cortisol or prolactin stimulation
- Combination: Produces pulsatile GH release for optimized anabolic and regenerative effects
- Supports IGF-1 production, enhancing tissue repair and fat metabolism
Effects are primarily observed in preclinical and experimental protocols.
Dosage Protocol (Investigational)
Administration
Subcutaneous (SC) Injection – Typical Dose: 100–150 µg CJC-1295 (No DAC) + 100–150 µg Ipamorelin | Frequency: 1–3× per day | Notes: Short half-life requires multiple daily injections for optimal GH pulse
Intramuscular (IM) Injection – Typical Dose: 100–150 µg each peptide | Frequency: 1–2× per day | Notes: Less common than SC; systemic delivery
Cycle Protocol (Investigational)
Initial Phase (1 week) – Dose: Lower end of dose range | Notes: Assess tolerance and GH response
Therapeutic Phase (2–6 weeks) – Dose: Full dose range | Notes: Maximum GH stimulation and regenerative effect
Rest Period (1–2 weeks) – Dose: None | Notes: Allows system to reset before next cycle
Multiple daily injections are typical due to the short half-life of CJC-1295 No DAC.
Reconstitution Instructions (Lyophilized Powder)
Supplies Needed:
- Sterile bacteriostatic water
- Sterile syringe
- Alcohol swabs
Steps:
- Clean vial top with alcohol swab.
- Add desired volume of bacteriostatic water (e.g., 2 mg peptide + 1 mL water → 2 mg/mL solution).
- Swirl gently to dissolve; do not shake.
- Store refrigerated (2–8°C).
- Use within 1–2 weeks; discard if cloudy or discolored (shorter stability due to No DAC).
Administration Guidelines
Subcutaneous Injection (SC)
- Select a clean injection site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).
- Clean site with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 45° angle.
- Inject slowly; apply gentle pressure afterward.
- Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation.
Intramuscular Injection (IM)
- Select clean muscle site (deltoid, glute, thigh).
- Clean site with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 90° angle; inject slowly.
- Apply gentle pressure afterward.
Tip: Best GH stimulation is often achieved pre-bedtime or pre-workout, mimicking natural GH pulses.
Storage Guidelines
Storage Information
Lyophilized Powder – Storage: Cool, dry place | Shelf Life: Up to 6–12 months
Reconstituted Solution – Storage: Refrigerate 2–8°C | Shelf Life: 1–2 weeks (short half-life)
Discard solution if cloudy, discolored, or containing particulates.
Safety & Precautions
- Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Avoid if allergic to peptides
- Mild side effects: injection site irritation, headache, temporary water retention
- Discontinue if severe adverse reactions occur
- Keep out of reach of children
Human clinical data are limited; effects are investigational.
