CJC-1295 DAC (5 mg) + Ipamorelin (5 mg) Stack Dosage Protocol

Quickstart Highlights

This stacked protocol combines CJC-1295 DAC, a long-acting GHRH analog with extended half-life via albumin binding^[1], and Ipamorelin, a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist that triggers potent GH pulses with minimal ACTH/cortisol release^[2]. Together, these peptides amplify endogenous growth hormone secretion and IGF-1 signaling through complementary mechanisms^[3].

CJC-1295 DAC: Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 2.5 mg/mL; inject once weekly.

Ipamorelin: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 1.67 mg/mL; inject once daily.

Easy measuring: CJC-1295 DAC: 1 unit = 25 mcg; Ipamorelin: 1 unit ≈ 16.7 mcg on U-100 syringes.

Storage: Lyophilized: ≤−15 °C (5 °F); reconstituted: 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within 3–4 weeks^[5].

Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

Educational guide for stacked GH secretagogue protocol

CJC-1295 DAC (5 mg Vial) — Subcutaneous, Once Weekly

Reconstitution: 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 2.5 mg/mL (2500 mcg/mL) → 25 mcg per unit

Phase	Weekly Dose (mcg / mg)	Units (mL) per Injection	Frequency
Standard	1000 mcg (1.0 mg)	40 units (0.40 mL)	Once weekly
Aggressive	2000 mcg (2.0 mg)	80 units (0.80 mL)	Once weekly

Note: At 2.5 mg/mL, each 5 mg vial provides 2.5 standard doses (1 mg each) or 1.25 aggressive doses (2 mg each).

CJC-1295 DAC Reconstitution Steps

Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming or direct stream onto powder.

Gently swirl/roll until fully dissolved (do not shake).

Label with date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F).

Ipamorelin (5 mg Vial) — Subcutaneous, Once Daily

Reconstitution: 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 1.67 mg/mL (1666.7 mcg/mL) → 16.67 mcg per unit

Phase	Daily Dose (mcg / mg)	Units (mL) per Injection	Frequency
Weeks 1–2 (Initiation)	100 mcg (0.1 mg)	6 units (0.06 mL)	Once daily
Weeks 3–4 (Titration)	150 mcg (0.15 mg)	9 units (0.09 mL)	Once daily
Weeks 5+ (Maintenance)	200 mcg (0.2 mg)	12 units (0.12 mL)	Once daily
Aggressive (Optional)	300 mcg (0.3 mg)	18 units (0.18 mL)	Once daily or split 2×/day

For ≤10-unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30- or 50-unit insulin syringes for improved readability.

Ipamorelin Reconstitution Steps

Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.

Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).

Label with date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F).

Combined Stack Schedule — Standard Approach

Week	CJC-1295 DAC (Weekly)	Ipamorelin (Daily)
Weeks 1–2	1000 mcg (40 units) once weekly	100 mcg (6 units) once daily
Weeks 3–4	1000 mcg (40 units) once weekly	150 mcg (9 units) once daily
Weeks 5–12	1000 mcg (40 units) once weekly	200 mcg (12 units) once daily

Timing: CJC-1295 DAC is typically administered on a fixed day each week. Ipamorelin is commonly administered before bed to coincide with natural nocturnal GH pulses^[4].

Supplies Needed

Plan based on an 8–16 week stacked protocol with standard dosing (CJC-1295 DAC 1 mg/week + Ipamorelin 200 mcg/day at maintenance).

CJC-1295 DAC Vials (5 mg each):

8 weeks (8 mg total) → 2 vials
12 weeks (12 mg total) → 3 vials
16 weeks (16 mg total) → 4 vials

Ipamorelin Vials (5 mg each):

8 weeks (56 days at ~200 mcg/day) → 3 vials
12 weeks (84 days) → 4 vials
16 weeks (112 days) → 5 vials

Insulin Syringes (U-100):

Per week: 1 (CJC) + 7 (Ipamorelin) = 8 syringes
8 weeks: 64 syringes
12 weeks: 96 syringes
16 weeks: 128 syringes

For Ipamorelin doses ≤10 units, 30- or 50-unit syringes improve accuracy.

Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles):

8 weeks: CJC (2 × 2 mL = 4 mL) + Ipam (3 × 3 mL = 9 mL) = 13 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
12 weeks: CJC (3 × 2 mL = 6 mL) + Ipam (4 × 3 mL = 12 mL) = 18 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
16 weeks: CJC (4 × 2 mL = 8 mL) + Ipam (5 × 3 mL = 15 mL) = 23 mL → 3 × 10 mL bottles
