CJC-1295 with DAC is a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog with an added drug affinity complex (DAC) that binds to albumin in the blood, which makes it last much longer. It is not FDA approved.
Also known as: DAC:GRF.
Powder vials are usually labeled 2 mg or 5 mg.
Here is the math for a 5 mg vial mixed with 2.5 mL of bacteriostatic water, drawing 1 mg with a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL = 100 units).
5 mg ÷ 2.5 mL = 2 mg/mL1 mg ÷ 2 mg/mL = 0.5 mL0.5 mL × 100 = 50 units| Amount | Volume | U-100 syringe |
|---|---|---|
| 500 mcg | 0.25 mL | 25 units |
| 1 mg | 0.5 mL | 50 units |
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 100 units |
Adding more water doesn't change how much CJC-1295 with DAC is in the vial. It only spreads it over more liquid, so each draw is bigger and easier to read.
| Water added | Concentration | Volume | U-100 syringe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0.2 mL | 20 units |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 0.4 mL | 40 units |
| 2.5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 0.5 mL | 50 units |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 0.6 mL | 60 units |
| 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | 1 mL | 100 units |
For any other vial size or amount, the free peptide reconstitution calculator works backwards from the amount you want and suggests a water volume that lands on a clean syringe mark.
A study in healthy adults (Teichman 2006) estimated a half-life of 5.8 to 8.1 days. We could not confirm a time to peak, so we leave it out.
Numbers shown are the values Dose Track uses, listed only where they agree with the source above. Half-life varies from person to person and with injection site.
