What is CJC-1295 DAC?

CJC-1295 DAC is the extended-release version of the GHRH analog CJC-1295, modified with a Drug Affinity Complex that binds to albumin in the bloodstream. This dramatically extends its active duration from minutes to over a week.

Research Applications

Sustained GH axis stimulation, long-term IGF-1 elevation studies, body composition research, and comparative studies against pulsatile GHRH protocols.

Dosage Information (Research Use)

Research protocols: 1-2 mg subcutaneously once or twice weekly. The sustained release reduces injection frequency compared to non-DAC version. Research use only.

Reconstitution & Handling

Standard BAC water reconstitution. Dissolves readily.

Half-Life & Pharmacokinetics

Approximately 8 days due to albumin conjugation via the DAC moiety.

Reported Observations in Literature

Similar to other GHRH analogs: flushing, water retention, tingling. Continuous GH elevation may amplify effects compared to pulsatile protocols.

How CJC-1295 DAC Works

CJC-1295 DAC is the Drug Affinity Complex version of Modified GRF(1-29). The DAC moiety binds covalently to serum albumin after injection, extending the half-life from ~30 minutes to approximately 8 days. This creates sustained, elevated GH levels rather than the pulsatile pattern seen with the no-DAC version. While this produces higher total GH output, the non-physiological continuous elevation has led many researchers to prefer the no-DAC version for more natural pulsatile release patterns.

Research Findings

Published data shows sustained IGF-1 elevation for 7-10 days after a single subcutaneous injection. Less commonly used than the no-DAC variant in modern research protocols due to preference for pulsatile GH release.

Dosage & Administration

Research protocols: 1-2 mg subcutaneously once or twice weekly. The sustained release reduces injection frequency compared to non-DAC version. Research use only.

Safety & Side Effects

Similar to other GHRH analogs: flushing, water retention, tingling. Continuous GH elevation may amplify effects compared to pulsatile protocols.

Important: All safety information is derived from published research, primarily animal studies. No controlled human clinical trial data exists unless explicitly noted. This compound is sold for research purposes only.
