CJC-1295 DAC
Also known as Drug Affinity Complex CJC-1295
Long-acting GHRH analogue with a drug affinity complex.
Medical status: Not approved as a medicine.
Also commonly used for (off-label)
- Fewer injections for steady GH elevation
- Long recovery or recomposition blocks
Off-label and research uses are what people report, not approved indications. Talk to a clinician before using any of them.
How it's taken (route)
a small shot into the fat just under the skin (belly, thigh, or love handle)

Dose on a U-100 syringe (1–2 mg)
| Vial | BAC water | Draw |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 50–100 unitslarge volume |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 20–40 units |
On a U-100 syringe, 100 units = 1 mL, and the syringe holds 100 units total. Most people keep a single subcutaneous injection under about 50 units — bigger volumes are usually mixed stronger (less water) or split into two shots. Only mixes that fit in one syringe are shown. Always double-check with the reconstitution calculator.
What it does
The same growth-hormone-releasing peptide with an added carrier (DAC) that keeps it in the bloodstream for days instead of minutes, giving a raised baseline of growth hormone and IGF-1 from one or two shots a week. What people look into it for: • Steady, longer-lasting support for recovery and repair • Lean muscle and fat-loss support over a longer cycle • Convenience — far fewer injections than short-acting versions The trade-off is that it flattens the body's natural pulsing rhythm, which some people prefer to keep intact.
Mechanism
Albumin-binding DAC extends half-life of the GHRH analogue, raising GH bleed levels.
Storage — lyophilisedwhat's this?
Refrigerate 2-8C, protect from light.
Storage — reconstitutedwhat's this?
Refrigerate 2-8C, use within ~28 days.
Reconstitution noteswhat's this?
Add 2 ml bacteriostatic water to a 2 mg vial for 10 mcg per unit.
Stacks well with
Popular combinations reported in the community and research literature — not a recommendation. Adding peptides multiplies side-effect risk; check with a clinician.
Commonly reported side effects
- Water retention
- Joint aches
- Carpal tunnel symptoms
- Fatigue
Contraindications noted
- Active malignancy
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Uncontrolled diabetes
Research notes
Sustained GH elevation is less physiologic than pulsatile dosing; monitor IGF-1 where possible.
