CJC-1295 (no DAC) / Mod GRF 1-29

Peptidesubcutaneous · inferred

Modified growth hormone-releasing factor (1-29) with amino acid substitutions at positions 2, 8, 15, and 27 to resist DPP-IV cleavage. Half-life ~30 minutes (vs 7 min for native GHRH). Produces a pulsatile GH release mimicking natural physiology. Often combined with ipamorelin for synergistic GH release. Dosed 100 mcg SC 2-3x daily.

Projected serum levels — 100 mcg (≈ 0.10 mg), twice daily

CJC-1295 (no DAC) / Mod GRF 1-29 modeled serum levels with a loading dose of 164 mcg, then 100 mcg (≈ 0.10 mg) twice daily The first dose is larger so levels approach steady state faster. 0 0.25 0.50 0.75 1 Day 0 Day 4 Day 7 Day 11 Day 15 Time on a regular schedule

Maintenance schedule: 100 mcg (≈ 0.10 mg) twice daily (subcutaneous).

Loading schedule: 164 mcg on day 1, then 100 mcg (≈ 0.10 mg) twice daily — reaching therapeutic levels sooner.

Modeled steady state after ~1 days: peak ≈ 0.064 mg, trough ≈ 0.000 mg body load. Population-based estimate over 15 days for a reference dose at a 70 kg reference body mass — the interactive app scales curves to your doses, timing, and body mass.
