CJC-1295 No DAC

Since we just looked at the CJC + Ipamorelin stack, it is helpful to see how CJC-1295 No DAC (also known as Mod GRF 1-29) performs as a standalone.

While Ipamorelin is the "trigger," CJC-1295 No DAC is the "amplifier." It is a Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analogue that extends the natural "pulse" of growth hormone, making it more robust without staying in your system for a week like the DAC version does.

1. Reconstitution & Dosage
CJC-1295 No DAC typically comes in 2mg or 5mg vials. Precision is key here because it is a very dose-dependent peptide.

• Reconstitution: Add 2ml of Bacteriostatic Water to a 5mg vial.
• The Concentration: This creates 2.5mg (2,500mcg) per 1ml.
• Syringe Measurement (U-100 Insulin Syringe):
o 4 units (0.04ml) = 100mcg (Standard saturation dose)
o 8 units (0.08ml) = 200mcg (High-intensity research dose)

2. The Cycle (Duration & Timing)
Consistency is more important than high dosage with this peptide.

Parameter Recommendation
Cycle Length 12 to 16 Weeks
Frequency 5 Days ON / 2 Days OFF (to prevent pituitary desensitization)

Timing Nightly, 30 minutes before bed.

The Fasting Rule: This is non-negotiable for CJC-1295. Insulin and somatostatin (triggered by eating) will blunt the Growth Hormone pulse.
• No food 2 hours before injection.
• No food 30 minutes after injection.

3. Administration
• Subcutaneous (SubQ): Standard injection into abdominal fat.
• Storage: Once mixed, it is extremely fragile. It must stay in the fridge and should never be shaken. If the liquid becomes cloudy, it has likely been damaged by heat or movement.

4. Why "No DAC"?
• Natural Rhythm: CJC No DAC mimics your body's natural 3-hour GH pulses.
• Safety: It does not cause the constant GH "bleed" associated with the DAC version, which can lead to insulin resistance and "acromegaly-like" symptoms if overused.

5. Potential Side Effects
• The "Flush": Many researchers experience a red face and a sensation of heat for 10-15 minutes post-injection. This is a common vasodilator response to GHRH.
• Improved Sleep: Most report a significant increase in deep (REM) sleep within the first week.
• Vivid Dreams: Increased GH levels are strongly linked to more intense dreaming.

Quick Checklist for a 5mg Vial:
• At 100mcg/day: One vial lasts 50 days.
• For a 12-week cycle (5 days/week): You only need ~2 vials.
