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

Components: CJC-1295 DAC + Ipamorelin

A high-capacity GH secretagogue stack combining CJC-1295 DAC (5mg vial) and Ipamorelin (5mg vial). The larger CJC-1295 DAC vial provides 2.5–5 standard doses, suitable for extended 8–16 week cycles.

Stack Components

This stack uses 2 separate vials — each peptide is reconstituted independently.

Peptide Dose Frequency Timing Route
CJC-1295 DAC Long-acting GHRH analogue; 6u20138 day half-life via albumin binding (DAC moiety); sustains elevated GH and IGF-1 throughout the week 1000 mcg (1 mg) standard; up to 2000 mcg aggressive u2014 once weekly Once weekly Consistent day each week SubQ
Ipamorelin Selective ghrelin receptor agonist; selective GH pulse stimulation without cortisol or ACTH elevation 100 mcg (Weeks 1u20132) u2192 150 mcg (Weeks 3u20134) u2192 200 mcg (Weeks 5+) Once daily Before bed u2014 coincides with natural nocturnal GH release SubQ

Reconstitution Guide

Each peptide in this stack is a separate vial. Reconstitute them one at a time using the parameters below.

CJC-1295 DAC

SubQ
Vial Size 5mg
BAC Water 2mL
Concentration 2,500mcg/mL
Dose 1000 mcg (1 mg) standard; up to 2000 mcg aggressive u2014 once weekly

Ipamorelin

SubQ
Vial Size 5mg
BAC Water 3mL
Concentration 1,667mcg/mL
Dose 100 mcg (Weeks 1u20132) u2192 150 mcg (Weeks 3u20134) u2192 200 mcg (Weeks 5+)

Always use bacteriostatic water to reconstitute each vial. Draw from separate vials — do not mix in the same syringe unless your protocol specifies a shared injection.

Week by Week

Protocol Timeline

Full 8–16 weeks cycle breakdown.

Weeks 1u20132 (Initiation) CJC-1295 DAC loading, low-dose Ipamorelin

CJC-1295 DAC: 1000 mcg (40 units, 0.40 mL) once weekly. Ipamorelin: 100 mcg (6 units) once daily before bed. 5mg vial at 2.5 mg/mL provides 2.5 standard (1 mg) doses u2014 plan accordingly.

Weeks 3u20134 (Titration) Advancing Ipamorelin to intermediate dose

CJC-1295 DAC: continue 1000 mcg once weekly. Ipamorelin: advance to 150 mcg (9 units) once daily. GH/IGF-1 axis fully established; early body composition improvements typically begin.

Weeks 5u201312 (Maintenance) Full maintenance dosing for the standard cycle

CJC-1295 DAC: continue 1000 mcg once weekly. Ipamorelin: advance to 200 mcg (12 units) once daily. Sustained complementary GH stimulation throughout the week.

Weeks 13u201316 (Optional extension) Extended cycle with larger CJC-1295 DAC vial capacity

The 5mg CJC-1295 DAC vial supports extension to 16 weeks at the 1 mg/week standard dose (5 doses total). Continue Ipamorelin at maintenance dose. Allow at least 4 weeks off after completing the cycle.

Why It Works

Synergy Notes

CJC-1295 DAC provides continuous background GHRH stimulation lasting 6–8 days per weekly injection. Ipamorelin adds daily selective GH pulses through the ghrelin receptor. The 5mg vial size provides 2.5 doses at the standard 2 mg/week aggressive dose or 5 doses at the 1 mg/week standard dose — offering flexibility for 8–16 week cycles without the need for frequent reordering. Ipamorelin's selectivity (no significant cortisol/ACTH elevation) makes it the preferred GHRP partner for extended cycles.

Results

What to Expect

Weeks 1–3: Improved sleep depth and quality. Weeks 4–8: Progressive improvements in lean mass and body composition. Weeks 9–16: Continued anabolic and body composition benefits. Possible mild water retention in early weeks, resolving as the body adjusts.
