Protocol Overview
Reconstitution Instructions
Using 2mL of bacteriostatic water results in a concentration of 1mg/mL. Always use sterile techniques.
Materials Needed
2mg CJC-1295 with DAC 2mg vial (lyophilized powder)
2mL bacteriostatic water (sterile, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol)
Sterile syringe and needle (18-22 gauge for drawing)
Alcohol swabs
Clean workspace
Step-by-Step Process
Preparation: Allow the CJC-1295 with DAC 2mg vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature. Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with an alcohol swab.
Draw the Water: Using a sterile syringe, draw up exactly 2mL of bacteriostatic water. Expel any air bubbles.
Inject into Vial: Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at a slight angle, aiming toward the glass wall. Slowly inject the water down the side of the vial to avoid foaming.
Mix Gently: Remove the needle. Gently swirl or roll the vial between your hands. Do not shake vigorously.
Check for Clarity: The solution should be clear once fully reconstituted. Do not use if cloudy.
Weekly Dosing Reference · research convention, not a validated dose
CJC-1295 with DAC has an extended half-life of 8+ days due to the Drug Affinity Complex. This allows once-weekly dosing at 2mg per injection.

Administration Guidelines
Administer subcutaneously once weekly on the same day each week
Rotate injection sites between abdomen, thigh, and upper arm
Start at 100mcg per week and adjust based on response
8+ day half-life due to DAC albumin binding provides sustained GH release
Store reconstituted peptide refrigerated at 36-46F (2-8C)
Use reconstituted solution within 30 days
Never freeze reconstituted peptides
Document administration times and observations
