CJC-1295 with DAC Protocol Guide — Path To Peptides

Complete CJC-1295 with DAC research protocol: ghrh analog (long-acting), reconstitution from 2mg (2,000mcg), dosing schedule, administration guide, and storage instructions.

Context first

Study findings do not automatically establish clinical benefit, safety, dosing, or suitability for an individual.

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

Storage Requirements

Lyophilized (powder)

Room temperature or refrigerated, protect from light

Reconstituted

Refrigerated 36-46F (2-8C), use within 30 days
