CJC-1295 (No DAC / Mod GRF 1-29) – User Manual & Dosage Protocol Guide
Product Overview
CJC-1295 (No DAC), also known as Mod GRF 1-29, is a short-acting synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) studied for its ability to stimulate pulsatile endogenous growth hormone (GH) secretion in research settings.
Unlike the DAC-modified version, this variant has a significantly shorter half-life and is typically used in pulse-based research protocols.
Research Applications
- GH pulsatility studies
- IGF-1 modulation research
- Body composition investigations
- Recovery and performance physiology models
- Sleep cycle and endocrine rhythm research
Disclaimer: CJC-1295 (No DAC) is for research and experimental use only and is not FDA-approved for general therapeutic use in this context.
Forms Available
Lyophilized Powder
Freeze-dried CJC-1295 (No DAC) designed for reconstitution before use in research settings.
Reconstituted Solution
Prepared liquid form used for subcutaneous research injection after proper reconstitution.
Mechanism of Action (Research)
CJC-1295 (No DAC) is studied for its ability to:
- Bind GHRH receptors in the anterior pituitary
- Stimulate physiologic GH pulse release
- Increase downstream IGF-1 production
- Mimic natural GH pulsatility patterns due to short half-life
Because it lacks DAC modification, its activity window is brief, making it suitable for timed pulse research models.
Effects are primarily observed in investigational protocols.
Dosage Protocol (Investigational Reference)
Subcutaneous (SC) – Standard Research Model
Common research protocols use 100–300 mcg per administration, typically 1–3 times daily. It is often paired with GHS compounds in pulse-based models.
Higher-Range Research
Some studies use 300–500 mcg per administration, generally 1–2 times daily, when observing stronger GH-response patterns.
Administration Method
Most research protocols utilize subcutaneous (SC) administration for controlled and consistent delivery.
Research Note
Because of its short activity duration, many protocols use multiple daily administrations to maintain pulse-based growth hormone response in research settings.
Important
There is no approved dosage outside regulated clinical use. The ranges above reflect common research patterns only.
Cycle Framework (Research Models)
Initiation
A short 1–2 week phase used to evaluate growth hormone response and overall tolerance.
Active Study Phase
The 8–12 week primary phase focused on observing IGF-1 levels and body composition changes.
Extended Model
An optional phase up to 16 weeks for longer-term endocrine rhythm research.
Rest Period
A 2–4 week break between cycles to allow physiological systems to reset.
Note
Cycle length may vary depending on the specific study goals and research endpoints.
Reconstitution Instructions
Supplies
- Sterile bacteriostatic water
- Sterile syringe
- Alcohol swabs
General Procedure
- Clean vial stopper with alcohol.
- Add bacteriostatic water to desired concentration.
- Example: 2 mg vial + 2 mL → 1 mg/mL
- Swirl gently to dissolve (do not shake).
- Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution.
- Use within 2–4 weeks or per research protocol.
Avoid excessive agitation to preserve peptide stability.
Administration Guidelines (Research Handling)
Subcutaneous Injection Model
- Common sites: abdomen, thigh, upper arm
- Clean site prior to administration
- Inject slowly
- Rotate injection sites
Pulse-timing models often schedule administration around fasting periods or pre-sleep windows in research designs.
Storage Guidelines
Lyophilized Powder
Store in a cool, dry environment to maintain stability and effectiveness.
Reconstituted Solution
Keep refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 2–4 weeks after preparation.
Protection Guidelines
Protect from light, heat, and contamination to preserve quality.
Safety Note
Discard the solution if it becomes cloudy or discolored, as this may indicate contamination or degradation.
Safety & Handling
- Research use only
- Not for therapeutic application
- Human safety outside controlled research is not established
- Possible research observations may include:
- Injection-site irritation
- Headache
- Temporary flushing
- Mild water retention (GH-axis related)
Monitoring of IGF-1 and metabolic markers is common in investigational protocols.
Maintain sterile technique at all times.
Keep out of reach of children.
