    What Is CJC-1295 DAC 5mg?

    CJC-1295 DAC 5mg Vial Overview

    CJC-1295 DAC is a long-acting GHRH analog featuring a Drug Affinity Complex that bonds with serum albumin, extending its half-life from ~30 minutes to 6–8 days. A single dose can elevate mean GH levels 2–10 fold and IGF-1 levels 1.5–3 fold for up to 6 days. This makes it suitable for less frequent dosing compared to CJC-1295 without DAC.

    CJC-1295 DAC 5mg FAQs

    CJC-1295 DAC vs no DAC — which is better?

    DAC provides sustained GH elevation with fewer injections but creates a continuous (non-pulsatile) GH increase. No DAC mimics natural pulsatile GH release. Choice depends on protocol goals.
