CJC-1295 Reconstitution Calculator

Enter your CJC-1295 vial size and the volume of bacteriostatic water you are adding. The calculator returns the concentration in mcg/ml and the exact units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe. It works for both the DAC and no-DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) versions.

How this is calculated

5mg × 1,000 = 5000 mcg total

5000 ÷ 2ml = 2500 mcg/ml

100 mcg ÷ 2500 = 0.04 ml

0.04 ml × 100 = 4 units

CJC-1295 is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analogue. The no-DAC version (Mod GRF 1-29) is short-acting and dosed around 100mcg several times a day, often with ipamorelin; the DAC version is long-acting and dosed less frequently. The reconstitution maths is the same for both — only the dose and frequency differ.

CJC-1295 dosing reference

Ranges commonly reported in research use. Confirm which version you have — DAC and no-DAC are dosed very differently despite the shared name.

No-DAC (Mod GRF 1-29)100 mcg per injection, 1–3 times daily
With DACtypically 1–2 mg once or twice weekly

Worked example: 5mg vial + 2ml BAC water, 100mcg dose

  • 5mg × 1,000 = 5,000 mcg total in the vial
  • 5,000 mcg ÷ 2ml = 2,500 mcg/ml concentration
  • 100 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/ml = 0.04ml to inject
  • 0.04ml × 100 = 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe
  • 5,000 mcg ÷ 100 mcg = 50 doses per vial

CJC-1295 reconstitution — frequently asked questions

How much BAC water do I add to a 5mg CJC-1295 vial?

2ml gives 2,500 mcg/ml, so a 100mcg no-DAC dose is 0.04ml = 4 units. Because 4 units is small, some people add less water (e.g. 1ml for 5,000 mcg/ml) — though that makes each unit worth more, so measure carefully.

What's the difference between CJC-1295 DAC and no-DAC?

DAC (Drug Affinity Complex) greatly extends the half-life, so it is dosed roughly weekly in milligram amounts. The no-DAC version (Mod GRF 1-29) is short-acting and dosed around 100mcg several times a day. Always confirm which you have before dosing — the reconstitution calculation is identical but the amounts are not.

How many units is 100mcg of CJC-1295?

With a 5mg vial reconstituted in 2ml (2,500 mcg/ml): 100 ÷ 2,500 = 0.04ml = 4 units. With a 2mg vial in 2ml (1,000 mcg/ml): 100 ÷ 1,000 = 0.1ml = 10 units.

How should reconstituted CJC-1295 be stored?

Refrigerate at 2–8°C away from light and label the vial with the date. Reconstituted CJC-1295 is commonly used within 4–6 weeks. Do not freeze it.
