CJC-1295 reconstitution.

CJC-1295 ships in 2 mg or 5 mg vials. The DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) variant has dramatically different half-life characteristics — confirm which you have before dosing. Standard reconstitution: 2 mL bacteriostatic water.

CJC-1295 specifics

What to know about this peptide.

Half-life

Without DAC: short half-life (minutes) — typically dosed multiple times daily. With DAC: extended half-life of 5.8–8.1 days in healthy adults (Teichman et al. 2006), dosed weekly.

Stability after mixing

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Stable 28 days at 2-8°C.

Typical use

Growth hormone pulse amplification. Frequently stacked with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH release. Cycle 8-12 weeks on, 4 weeks off.

Not medical advice

The math on this page is correct for the listed vial and BAC-water volume. The decision to reconstitute and inject CJC-1295 belongs to you and a clinician who knows your full history — not to a webpage.

Frequently asked

CJC-1295 questions

What vial size is CJC-1295 usually sold in?

CJC-1295 most commonly ships as 2 mg or 5 mg of lyophilized powder. The standard reconstitution is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which yields clean unit-mark math on a U-100 insulin syringe for the doses used in most protocols.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a CJC-1295 vial?

The standard volume is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. You can use more (easier to draw, lower concentration) or less (more concentrated, smaller draw volume) without changing the peptide itself — only the syringe math changes. The dose table on this page is pre-calculated for 2 mL.

What is the half-life of CJC-1295?

Without DAC: short half-life (minutes) — typically dosed multiple times daily. With DAC: extended half-life of 5.8–8.1 days in healthy adults (Teichman et al. 2006), dosed weekly.

How long does reconstituted CJC-1295 last in the fridge?

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Stable 28 days at 2-8°C.

What is CJC-1295 typically used for?

Growth hormone pulse amplification. Frequently stacked with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH release. Cycle 8-12 weeks on, 4 weeks off.

What syringe should I use for CJC-1295?

U-100 insulin syringes (29–31 gauge, 8–13 mm needle) are standard for subcutaneous peptide injection. Each unit on a U-100 syringe equals 0.01 mL. The dose table above shows how many units to draw for each common dose, given the vial size and standard bacteriostatic water volume.
