CJC-1295 w/ DAC
A profile on the long-acting GHRH analog, known for creating a continuous "bleed" of Growth Hormone levels.
CJC-1295 w/ DAC
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). It is typically found in two forms: with DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) and without DAC (often called Mod GRF 1-29).
This profile covers CJC-1295 with DAC, which binds to plasma albumin and remains active in the body for days, creating a constant elevation of GH levels.
Quick Specs
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Active Compound | CJC-1295 + DAC |
| Half-Life | ~6-8 Days |
| Mechanism | GHRH Agonist |
| Administration | Subcutaneous (SubQ) |
Mechanism of Action
Normally, GHRH has a half-life of minutes. The addition of the DAC allows the peptide to bind to albumin in the blood, protecting it from degradation.
This results in a continuous stimulation of the pituitary gland to release Growth Hormone, creating a "GH bleed" (steady state) rather than the natural pulsatile release.
Pharmacokinetics & Dosing
Half-Life: ~6-8 Days
- Frequency: Once or Twice Weekly.
- Dosage: 1mg to 2mg per week total.
- Stacking: Often stacked with Ipamorelin or MK-677 (GH Secretagogues) to maximize the pulse and the baseline.
Primary Effects
1. Elevated IGF-1
Significant and sustained increase in IGF-1 levels, driving muscle growth and fat loss.
2. Sleep & Recovery
Deep sleep is enhanced, though the constant "bleed" of GH can sometimes disrupt natural circadian rhythms compared to pulsatile peptides (like Mod GRF).
Side Effects & Harm Reduction
The GH Bleed:
Natural vs Synthetic: Some experts argue that a constant "bleed" of GH is unnatural and desensitizes the pituitary gland, making it less effective over time. For this reason, many prefer Mod GRF 1-29 (No DAC) injected multiple times a day to mimic natural pulses.
1. Flushing
A "head rush" or warm flushing sensation immediately after injection is common.
2. Water Retention
Can cause significant water hold, similar to HGH.
Tracking CJC-1295
Using the Anabolic Tracker app:
- Inventory: Add CJC-1295 w/ DAC.
- Scheduling: Twice Weekly (e.g., Mon/Thu).
- Metrics: Track Water Retention via body weight fluctuations.
