CJC-1295 – 2 mg / 5 mg

Primary Benefits:

• Stimulates natural GH pulsatile release

• Enhances lean muscle growth and fat loss

• Supports recovery, sleep, and collagen synthesis

• Best when paired with a GHRP (e.g., Ipamorelin)

• Mimics natural circadian rhythm of GH release

Mechanism of Action:

CJC-1295 (without DAC) is a modified growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH 1-29) that has a shorter half-life and mimics the body’s natural pulsatile GH release. It acts on the pituitary to release growth hormone in sync with the body’s natural rhythms. Because it lacks DAC, it avoids prolonged receptor saturation and is suited for daily use.

Dosing & Protocol:

Subcutaneous (SQ) Injection:

• Reconstitution: 

2 mg vial → 2.0 ml bacteriostatic water (= 100 mcg per 10 units)

5 mg vial → 2.5 ml bacteriostatic water (= 200 mcg per 10 units)

• Daily Dose:
 – 100–200 mcg

• Cycle:
 5 days on, 2 days off
 8–12 weeks on, followed by 2–4 weeks off

• Timing:
 Administer 1x or 2x daily
 Ideal: Morning and/or 1 hour before bedtime on an empty stomach

Potential Side Effects:

• Mild flushing or warmth post-injection

• Temporary headache or lightheadedness

• Tingling in hands/feet due to GH surge

• May reduce insulin sensitivity at very high doses

• Not advised for use near food or insulin

Common Stacks:

• With Ipamorelin: Creates synergistic GH pulse without desensitization

• With BPC-157 or TB-500: For enhanced recovery from training or injury

• With CJC-1295 with DAC (cycled): Long + short GH modulation

Notes:

CJC-1295 without DAC should be taken on an empty stomach and spaced away from meals or insulin to prevent interference with GH release. Best results occur when combined with a GHRP like Ipamorelin. Store reconstituted vial in the refrigerator and discard after 30–45 days.
