CJC-1295 (No DAC) Dosage Calculator
CJC-1295 (No DAC), also written as Mod GRF 1-29, is supplied in 5 mg and 10 mg lyophilised vials. It is frequently paired with ipamorelin in research protocols, in which case each compound is reconstituted and drawn separately unless a pre-made blend vial is used.
The formula
Concentration (mg/mL) = vial strength (mg) ÷ bacteriostatic water (mL). Draw volume (mL) = dose (mg) ÷ concentration (mg/mL). On a U-100 insulin syringe, units = draw volume (mL) × 100. For CJC-1295 (No DAC): a 5 mg vial in 2 mL of water is 2.5 mg/mL, so a 100 mcg dose is 0.04 mL — 4 units.

How to reconstitute a CJC-1295 (No DAC) vial
- 1. Bring the vial to room temperature. Let a refrigerated or frozen vial equilibrate before opening so condensation doesn't form on the powder.
- 2. Swab both stoppers. Wipe the CJC-1295 (No DAC) vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol and let them dry.
- 3. Draw your diluent. Pull the volume you entered above into the syringe.
- 4. Run it down the glass wall. Angle the needle so water flows down the side of the vial rather than jetting onto the peptide cake — shear and foaming degrade peptides.
- 5. Swirl, never shake. Roll the vial gently until fully clear. Do not vortex or shake.
- 6. Label and refrigerate. Mark the date and concentration, then store at 2-8 °C away from light.
CJC-1295 (No DAC) calculator FAQs
How many units is 100 mcg of CJC-1295 from a 5 mg vial?
5 mg with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 2,500 mcg/mL. A 100 mcg draw is 0.04 mL — 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Using 5 mL of water instead makes the same dose 10 units, which is easier to measure.
How do you calculate a CJC-1295 (No DAC) dose in syringe units?
Divide the vial strength by the bacteriostatic water you added to get the concentration: concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg ÷ water mL. Then draw volume (mL) = dose (mg) ÷ concentration. On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1.0 mL is 100 units, so units = draw volume × 100.
Does adding more water change how much CJC-1295 (No DAC) is in the vial?
No. The vial holds a fixed mass of lyophilised powder. More bacteriostatic water only dilutes it — each syringe unit carries less compound and the draw volume for the same dose gets larger, which can make small doses easier to measure accurately.
How is reconstituted CJC-1295 (No DAC) stored?
After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, research peptides are kept refrigerated at 2-8 °C, protected from light, and away from freeze-thaw cycles. Unreconstituted lyophilised vials are far more stable and are typically stored frozen.
