CJC-1295 DAC (2 mg) + Ipamorelin (5 mg) Stack Dosage Protocol
CJC-1295 DAC Dosage Chart
CJC-1295 DAC is dosed at 1 mg–2 mg weekly via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 2 mg reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 1.0 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.
CJC-1295 DAC: Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 1.0 mg/mL; inject once weekly.
Ipamorelin: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 1.67 mg/mL; inject once daily.
Easy measuring: CJC-1295 DAC: 1 unit = 10 mcg; Ipamorelin: 1 unit ≈ 16.7 mcg on U-100 syringes.
Storage: Lyophilized: ≤−15 °C (5 °F); reconstituted: 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within 3–4 weeks.
This stacked protocol combines CJC-1295 DAC, a long-acting GHRH analog with extended half-life via albumin binding[1], and Ipamorelin, a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist that triggers potent GH pulses with minimal ACTH/cortisol release[2]. Together, these peptides amplify endogenous growth hormone secretion and IGF-1 signaling through complementary mechanisms[3].

CJC-1295 DAC (2 mg Vial) — Weekly Subcutaneous
Reconstitution: 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 1.0 mg/mL (1000 mcg/mL) → 10 mcg per unit
Standard
1000 mcg (1.0 mg)
100 units (1.0 mL)
Once weekly
Aggressive
2000 mcg (2.0 mg)
100 units × 2 injections (2.0 mL total)
Once weekly (split)
Note: For the 2 mg weekly dose, split into two 100-unit injections on the same day or consecutive days, as a single injection would exceed 1 mL.
CJC-1295 DAC Reconstitution Steps
Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming or direct stream onto powder.
Gently swirl/roll until fully dissolved (do not shake).
Label with date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F).
Ipamorelin (5 mg Vial) — Daily Subcutaneous
Reconstitution: 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL) → 16.67 mcg per unit
Weeks 1–2 (Initiation)
100 mcg
6 units (0.06 mL)
Once daily
Weeks 3–4 (Titration)
150 mcg
9 units (0.09 mL)
Weeks 5+ (Maintenance)
200 mcg
12 units (0.12 mL)
Aggressive (Optional)
300 mcg
18 units (0.18 mL)
Once daily or split 2×/day
For ≤10-unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30- or 50-unit insulin syringes for improved readability.
Ipamorelin Reconstitution Steps
Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).
Combined Stack Schedule — Standard Approach
Weeks 1–2
1000 mcg (100 units) once weekly
100 mcg (6 units) once daily
Weeks 3–4
150 mcg (9 units) once daily
Weeks 5–12
200 mcg (12 units) once daily
Timing: CJC-1295 DAC is typically administered on a fixed day each week. Ipamorelin is commonly administered before bed to coincide with natural nocturnal GH pulses[4].
Supplies Needed
Plan based on an 8–16 week stacked protocol with standard dosing (CJC-1295 DAC 1 mg/week + Ipamorelin 200 mcg/day at maintenance).
CJC-1295 DAC Vials (2 mg each):
8 weeks ≈ 4 vials (1 vial = 2 weekly doses at 1 mg)
12 weeks ≈ 6 vials
16 weeks ≈ 8 vials
Ipamorelin Vials (5 mg each):
8 weeks ≈ 3 vials (1 vial ≈ 25 days at 200 mcg/day)
12 weeks ≈ 4 vials
16 weeks ≈ 5 vials
Insulin Syringes (U-100):
Per week: 1 (CJC) + 7 (Ipamorelin) = 8 syringes
8 weeks: 64 syringes
12 weeks: 96 syringes
16 weeks: 128 syringes
For Ipamorelin doses ≤10 units, 30- or 50-unit syringes improve accuracy.
Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles):
8 weeks: CJC (4 × 2 mL) + Ipam (3 × 3 mL) = 17 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
12 weeks: CJC (6 × 2 mL) + Ipam (4 × 3 mL) = 24 mL → 3 × 10 mL bottles
16 weeks: CJC (8 × 2 mL) + Ipam (5 × 3 mL) = 31 mL → 4 × 10 mL bottles
