CJC with DAC 5mg

🔬 What Is CJC-1295 with DAC?

• CJC-1295 is a synthetic Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog.

• The DAC = Drug Affinity Complex, a modification that dramatically extends its half-life.

• Without DAC: CJC-1295 (sometimes called Mod GRF 1-29) has a half-life of about 30 minutes.

• With DAC: CJC-1295 has a half-life of 6–8 days, allowing weekly or twice-weekly injections.

⚙️ Mechanism of Action

• Mimics natural GHRH → stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone (GH) in pulses.

• GH then increases IGF-1 production in the liver.

• With DAC: provides a steady, long-lasting stimulation of GH release.

• Best when paired with a GHRP (like Ipamorelin) to maximize GH pulses.

📌 Reported Benefits (Research & Clinic Use)

• Increased lean muscle mass

• Reduced body fat (via increased lipolysis)

• Improved recovery after training or injury

• Better sleep quality (deeper slow-wave sleep)

• Enhanced skin elasticity and collagen production

• Possible immune and joint health benefits

⚠️ Safety & Side Effects

• Generally well tolerated.

• Possible side effects:

  • Redness/itching at injection site

  • Water retention

  • Tingling/numbness in extremities (sign of elevated GH/IGF-1)

  • Fatigue or mild headache

• Lower risk of acromegaly than direct HGH injections, since it relies on natural GH pulsatility and feedback loops.

✅ Key Takeaways

• CJC-1295 with DAC = long-acting GHRH analog.

• Half-life: ~6–8 days (vs minutes without DAC).

• Dosing: 1–2 mg once weekly (sometimes twice weekly).

• Benefits: Muscle gain, fat loss, recovery, sleep, skin, anti-aging.

• Best used with: GHRPs (like Ipamorelin) for stronger effect.
