CJC-1295 DAC Research Guide
Full name: CJC-1295 with Drug Affinity Complex
CJC-1295 conjugated with DAC that binds albumin, extending half-life to ~8 days. Creates sustained GH elevation rather than pulsatile release.
How CJC-1295 DAC Works
The DAC moiety binds serum albumin creating a depot that slowly releases active CJC-1295 for continuous GHRH signaling.
Dosing Protocol
- Typical dose: 2 mg
- Frequency: 1-2x per week
- Duration: 8-16 weeks
- Route: Subcutaneous
Reported Benefits
- Once/twice weekly dosing
- Sustained IGF-1 elevation
- Convenient schedule
- Long-term body composition changes
Potential Side Effects
- Water retention
- Tingling/numbness
- Flushing
- Non-pulsatile GH pattern
- Fatigue
Research Citations
- Pharmacokinetics of DAC-conjugated CJC-1295 (2019) - Single 2mg dose elevated IGF-1 by 50-70% for 9-11 days via albumin-bound release.
- Sustained vs pulsatile GH elevation outcomes (2020) - DAC version produced greater total GH exposure but less favorable body composition vs pulsatile non-DAC.
