How is CJC-1295 NO DAC + Ipamorelin (10 mg Blend) dosed and mixed?

CJC-1295 NO DAC + Ipamorelin (10 mg Blend) is a peptide blend research reference in the Growth Hormone category for a 10 mg vial. The reference mixing guide adds 3 mL of bacteriostatic water, giving a concentration of 3.33 mg/mL. The published research schedule lists 0.1–0.2 mg per injection, 2–3 times daily for 8–12 weeks; it is reference information, not a recommendation.

This blend combines CJC-1295 (no DAC), a modified growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, with Ipamorelin, a selective growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). CJC-1295 (no DAC) produces sustained, dose-dependent GH and IGF-1 increases, while Ipamorelin selectively stimulates GH release without raising ACTH or cortisol. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin-syringe measurements.

Dose
0.1–0.2 mg per injection
Frequency
2–3 times daily
Timing
Morning, post-workout, before bed
Duration
8–12 weeks

Short-acting version. Mimics natural GH pulses. Best combined with GHRP peptides.

Mixing & Quick Reference
Bacteriostatic water
3 mL
Concentration
3.33 mg/mL
  • •Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~ 3.33 mg/mL total concentration (1.67 mg/mL each peptide).
  • •Typical daily range: 100–300 mcg of each peptide once daily (gradual titration).
  • •Easy measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL total, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 33.3 mcg of each peptide on a U-100 insulin syringe.
  • •Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
Supplies Needed
  • •Peptide Vials (CJC-1295 NO DAC + Ipamorelin, 10 mg blend each):
  • •Insulin Syringes (U-100, 30- or 50-unit preferred for low volumes):
  • •Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
  • •Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
Benefits
  • •Supports sustained GH and IGF-1 elevation through pulsatile release patterns.
  • •Ipamorelin demonstrates selective GH release without cortisol or ACTH elevation.
  • •Once-daily dosing of CJC-1295 (no DAC) has been shown to normalize growth in animal models.
  • •Generally well tolerated; possible transient effects may include flushing, headache, or injection-site reactions.
  • •Some individuals report increased appetite, water retention, or tingling sensations.
How It Works

CJC-1295 (no DAC) is a modified GHRH analog (tetrasubstituted 29-amino acid peptide) that stimulates pulsatile GH release from the pituitary. Human studies demonstrate sustained, dose-dependent increases in both GH and IGF-1 with subcutaneous administration. Ipamorelin is a pentapeptide GH secretagogue with a half-life of approximately 1.5–2.5 hours that elicits a rapid GH pulse peaking around 40 minutes post-dose. Importantly, Ipamorelin selectively increases GH without affecting ACTH, cortisol, or prolactin levels. When combined, these peptides may produce synergistic GH release by acting on complementary receptor pathways.
