CJC-1295 No DAC Tracker

CJC-1295 No DAC is a short-acting GHRH analogue, the same base molecule as the DAC version without the albumin-binding complex. This page covers its half-life, what that timescale means for keeping a usable record, and how it changes the shape of a log — not what to take or how much.

Recordkeeping reference, not medical guidance. This page describes published pharmacokinetic estimates and how they affect logging. It does not recommend CJC-1295 No DAC, any amount, or any schedule, and it is not a claim that this compound is safe, effective, or approved for any use. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.

What CJC-1295 No DAC's timing means for tracking

This is the shortest half-life on the whole site: about 30 minutes. It is essentially gone within two and a half hours.

The comparison that makes this page worth reading is with CJC-1295 with DAC, which sits at roughly 192 hours. Same base analogue, same name in most conversations — and a difference of roughly 384 times. People routinely say "CJC-1295" meaning either one, which is a genuine source of confusion when reading anyone else's log or protocol.

Practically, a 30-minute half-life means a record built on dates alone is close to useless. The entire event lives inside a couple of hours. If your log captures the time, it describes something real; if it captures only the day, it describes almost nothing.

What to capture in the log

Worked reconstitution example

Purely as arithmetic, using round numbers rather than a recommendation. If a 5 mg vial were mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, the concentration would be 2.5 mg/mL. Measuring 100 mcg from that would come to:

4 units on a U-100 syringe

5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL  →  100 mcg = 0.04 mL = 4 units

Change either the vial size or the water and this number changes completely. Run your own figures in the reconstitution calculator.

Frequently asked questions

What is the half-life of CJC-1295 without DAC?

About 30 minutes, with an estimated activity window near 4 hours. It is the shortest half-life in PepTrack's catalogue.

Is Mod GRF 1-29 the same as CJC-1295 no DAC?

They are commonly used as the same name for the same short-acting GHRH analogue, and PepTrack lists Mod GRF 1-29 as an alias.

Why do the DAC and no-DAC versions differ so much?

The Drug Affinity Complex binds the peptide to serum albumin and slows clearance enormously — roughly 192 hours against roughly 0.5 hours.

How many units is 100 mcg?

With a 5 mg vial in 2 mL the concentration is 2.5 mg/mL, or 25 mcg per unit, so 100 mcg is 4 units. That is a very small draw; mixing with more water spreads it across a more readable part of the syringe.
