What do these boxes mean?
In the vial
The amount of powder in the vial before you add anything, e.g. “5 mg”. It’s on the label or the box.
Water added
How much bacteriostatic water you mixed in. It doesn’t change how much peptide you get, only how strong the mix is. More water makes each dose a bigger amount that’s easier to measure.
Your dose
How much peptide you want per injection, from your prescription or plan. Not the number of units on the syringe; that’s what we work out.
Syringe
Check the packet: 1 mL, 0.5 mL or 0.3 mL (sometimes written 100, 50 or 30 units). All are U-100: 100 units is 1 mL. Smaller syringes measure small doses more accurately.

CJC-1295 (no DAC) questions

How many units is 100 mcg of CJC-1295 (no DAC)?

With a 2 mg vial mixed with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water, 100 mcg is 5 units (0.05 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. A different vial size or amount of water changes this, so check it with your own numbers.

How much water do I add to a 2 mg CJC-1295 (no DAC) vial?

1 mL of bacteriostatic water is common, which makes 2,000 mcg per mL. More water makes each dose a bigger amount that is easier to measure; it doesn't change how much is in the vial.

How long does mixed CJC-1295 (no DAC) last?

Once mixed, keep it at fridge temperature, 2–8°C and use it within 28 days. Unmixed powder: freezer −20°c.

What is CJC-1295 (no DAC)?

CJC-1295 without DAC (also sold as Mod GRF 1-29) is a lab-made version of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the signal that tells the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It isn’t approved, and it’s banned in tested sport.

With or without DAC

The version with DAC binds to proteins in the blood and lasts for days; the no-DAC version lasts around 30 minutes. They’re different products, so check which one your vial is before you enter anything.

What the research shows

Small human studies, mostly of the DAC version, show it raises growth hormone and IGF-1. Whether that does anything useful in healthy people, and what the long-term risks are, hasn’t been studied.

Units

Vials are labelled in milligrams and doses are quoted in micrograms. It’s often paired with ipamorelin, sometimes as a pre-mixed blend; blend doses are counted per peptide.
