CJC-1295 No DAC
Dosage Protocol
CJC-1295 No DAC (also called Modified GRF 1-29 or Mod GRF 1-29) is a stabilized 29-amino-acid analog of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Its short 30-minute half-life produces a clean, pulsatile GHRH signal that closely mimics the body's natural secretion pattern and is almost always combined with Ipamorelin for synergistic GH release.
What is CJC-1295 No DAC?
Modified GRF 1-29 is produced by substituting four amino acids in native GHRH(1-29) to resist enzymatic degradation while preserving full receptor activity. The result is a peptide with a half-life of approximately 30 minutes — long enough for a meaningful pituitary signal, short enough to produce discrete pulses rather than sustained receptor activation.
The combination of CJC-1295 No DAC + Ipamorelin is among the most studied GH-optimization stacks in peptide research. GHRH analogs prime the pituitary, while GHRPs like Ipamorelin trigger the release — producing a GH pulse roughly 2–10× greater than either compound alone. Timing around fasting states is critical for maximal effect.
Dosing Schedule
Parameters documented in published preclinical and clinical research.
| Phase | Dose | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start | 100 mcg | Once daily (bedtime) | Days 1–7 | Tolerance assessment. Always inject fasted (2+ hrs from food). |
| Working dose (solo) | 100–200 mcg | Twice daily | Weeks 2–8 | AM fasted + 30 min before bed. Effective solo but optimal when stacked. |
| Stack dose | 100 mcg standard | 2–3× daily | Weeks 2–12 | Inject simultaneously with 200 mcg Ipamorelin. Same syringe or separate — both work. |
| Off cycle | — | — | 4 weeks | Rest before restarting. |
