CJC-1295 reconstitution chart: units to draw by vial size and BAC water
Find the row for the mg on your vial and the water you added. The amount is the 100 mcg figure on our CJC-1295 page. Units are on a U-100 insulin syringe, where 100 units is 1 mL.
| Vial | BAC water | Strength | Units to draw for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | |||
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 2 mg/mL | 5 |
| 2 mL | 1 mg/mL | 10 | |
| 3 mL | 0.67 mg/mL | 15 | |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 2 |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 4 | |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 6 | |
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 1† |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 2 | |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 3 |
* Over 100 units: more than a 1 mL syringe holds in one draw. † Under 2 units: hard to measure; more water makes the draw bigger. Arithmetic from the numbers in each row. Pepdex does not pick a dose for you.
What to know about CJC-1295 before you mix it
CJC-1295 is modified GRF (1-29), usually sold as "CJC-1295 no DAC": a short-acting GHRH analog studied for stimulating growth-hormone release.
- How it is supplied
- There is no approved product. Most vials labeled CJC-1295 hold the no-DAC version as freeze-dried powder, alone or blended with ipamorelin. The DAC version is a different molecule.
- Common vial sizes
- 5 mg. Work from the mg printed on your own vial.
- Half-life
- Often quoted as about 30 minutes for the no-DAC version, though no human study of that exact molecule backs the figure. It is usually taken 1 to 3 times a day. The DAC version lasts about a week.
- Usual schedule on our page
- 1-3x daily, paired with Ipamorelin.
- FDA status
- Not FDA approved.
- Evidence in one line
- 2 indexed human-trial records, and the widely cited one studied the DAC version. Source: Pepdex evidence index; J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2006 (PMID 16352683).

The common CJC-1295 mix-up
Mixing up DAC and no DAC. They are taken on very different schedules, so check the label before you set reminders. If it is a blend vial, enter only the CJC-1295 mg as the vial size.

How long a CJC-1295 vial lasts
A 5 mg vial at 100 mcg a shot holds 50 shots. Taken once a day, that is about 50 days (7.1 weeks). Shots per vial for each size:
| Vial | At 100 mcg |
|---|---|
| 2 mg | 20 shots |
| 5 mg | 50 shots |
| 10 mg | 100 shots |
CJC-1295 reconstitution questions
- How much BAC water (reconstitution solution) do I add to a 5 mg CJC-1295 vial?
- Any amount works for the math; it only changes the strength. 5 mg in 1 mL is 5 mg/mL, in 2 mL 2.5 mg/mL, and in 3 mL 1.67 mg/mL. More water gives a bigger draw that is easier to read. If your product came with mixing directions, those set the volume.
- How many units is 100 mcg of CJC-1295?
- It depends on how much water is in the vial. From a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL, 100 mcg is 4 units (0.04 mL). With 1 mL it is 2 units; with 3 mL, 6 units.
- How many 100 mcg doses are in a 5 mg CJC-1295 vial?
- 50. Taken once a day, that lasts about 50 days (7.1 weeks). The water you add does not change the count, only the size of each draw.
- Is CJC-1295 the same as ipamorelin?
- No. The "CJC-1295 no DAC" in most vials is modified GRF (1-29), a GHRH analog; ipamorelin is a GHRP that prompts the pulse a different way. They act on different receptors, and the DAC and no-DAC versions differ in how long they stay active, so work from your own vial.
