CJC-1295 with DAC
Also known as: CJC-1295 DAC · Drug Affinity Complex GRF
The long-acting version of CJC-1295 — a Drug Affinity Complex binds it to albumin so one dose lasts about a week.
CJC-1295 with DAC at a glance
| Name | CJC-1295 with DAC |
|---|---|
| Also known as | CJC-1295 DAC, Drug Affinity Complex GRF |
| Category | Growth-hormone axis |
| Type | Peptide |
| Sequence | Modified GRF(1-29) with a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) |
| Typical dose | ~1–2 mg |
| Frequency | Once or twice weekly |
| Route | Subcutaneous injection |
| Half-life | Long — roughly 6–8 days. |
Overview
CJC-1295 with DAC adds a molecule that binds to albumin in the blood, extending its life from minutes to roughly a week. That means a steadier, elevated GH/IGF-1 "bleed" rather than a sharp natural pulse — the opposite trade-off from the DAC-free version.
How it’s thought to work
- Activates pituitary GHRH receptors like other GRF analogs.
- The DAC binds albumin, dramatically extending half-life for sustained GH elevation.
Researched uses
- Sustained GH/IGF-1 elevation research
- Body-composition and recovery contexts
Commonly cited protocol
| Typical dose | ~1–2 mg |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Once or twice weekly |
| Route | Subcutaneous injection |
| Notes | Long half-life means far less frequent dosing than DAC-free. |
Reconstitution
Often a 5 mg vial. 5 mg with 2 mL water = 2.5 mg/mL, so 1 mg = 40 units on a U-100 syringe.
CJC-1295 with DAC dosage calculator
The calculator below is pre-filled with CJC-1295 with DAC’s commonly cited vial size and dose. Adjust the vial amount, bacteriostatic water, or dose to match your own vial — it will show the exact insulin-syringe units to draw, the concentration, and how many doses the vial holds.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 5 mg vial. That gives you about 5 doses of 1 mg. For each dose, draw 40 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.

Cautions
- Not approved for human use.
- Steady elevation differs from the natural pulsatile pattern.
- Caution with active cancer given GH/IGF-1 effects.
