Overview of CJC-1295 (without DAC)

Binds GHRH receptors on somatotroph cells in the pituitary gland, stimulating cAMP production and physiological GH pulses. The brief 30-minute half-life allows pulsatile release versus prolonged elevation.

  • Restores natural GH pulsatility patterns in aging individuals.
  • Elevates IGF-1 through enhanced GH secretion.
  • Supports pituitary axis without suppression of natural function.

antiaging

  • Supports maintenance of lean muscle mass through GH elevation.
  • Supports bone health through GH-mediated pathways.
  • Improvements in skin quality through collagen synthesis.

Reconstitution Instructions

Materials needed:

Bacteriostatic waterInsulin syringes (29-31 gauge)Alcohol swabsSterile work surface

Steps to reconstitute

  1. Clean vial tops with alcohol pad and allow to dry
  2. Draw bacteriostatic water slowly
  3. Inject water along vial side
  4. Gently roll to mix—avoid vigorous shaking
  5. Verify solution clarity; cloudiness indicates degradation
  6. Label with date and concentration
  7. Refrigerate immediately, use within 30 days

Frequently asked questions

What is a peptide dosage calculator?

A peptide dosage calculator is a free tool that converts your vial size, bacteriostatic water volume, and target dose into an exact syringe draw volume. Instead of doing the reconstitution math by hand, you enter three inputs and instantly get the concentration of your solution and how many milliliters or syringeunits to draw. This calculator works for single peptide compounds and multi-peptide blends.

How do I calculate peptide dosage from a vial?

To calculate your peptide dose, divide the total peptide content of your vial in micrograms by the volume of bacteriostatic water you added in milliliters. This gives you your solution concentration in mcg/mL. Then divide your target dose by that concentration to get your draw volume. For example, a 5mg (5,000 mcg) vial reconstituted with 2mL of BAC water gives a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL. A 250 mcg dose would require drawing 0.1mL. This calculator automates all of those steps instantly.

How much Bacteriostatic water should I add to a peptide vial?

Most people add 2mL to 3mL of bacteriostatic water per vial, but the right amount depends on the dose you want to draw and the syringe size you are using. Adding 1mL to a 5mg vial gives you a concentration of 5,000 mcg/mL, making each dose very small in volume. Adding 2mL gives you 2,500 mcg/mL, which is easier to measure on a standard insulin syringe. A general guideline is to choose a volume that puts your typical dose somewhere between 10 and 30 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above to test different water volumes and find what works for your dose.

How are peptides different from proteins?

Both are made of amino acids, but peptides are much smaller than proteins. Because of their tiny size, peptides can act like tiny messengers in the body, sending specific signals to your cells to tell them exactly what to do.​
