CJC-1295 No DAC + Ipamorelin dosage

Every row is for the standard 10 mg blend vial, which holds 5 mg of CJC-1295 no-DAC and 5 mg of ipamorelin, so one draw always gives you the same amount of both. Find your row by where you are, not by a goal.

New to it: the starting dose, 100 mcg of each at bedtime, every night or 5 nights a week. Settled after a few weeks: the vendor protocol's step-ups, 150 and then 200 mcg of each, if the lower amount went smoothly. Experienced: 250 to 300 mcg of each, the vendor's top range and the clinic's advanced level, at bedtime or split into a morning and a bedtime dose. All three sources agree on where to start, and they differ a little on how far and how fast to climb.

The sources are a Beverly Hills clinic's dosage guide reviewed by its clinical team, a telehealth platform's beginner guide, and a vendor's written protocol for the 10 mg blend. They describe practice, not trial results. What the two compounds are and why they're paired is on the CJC-1295 no-DAC + ipamorelin page.

You'll mix the vial with bacteriostatic water, which is sterile water with a preservative so one vial can be drawn from more than once. The water only changes the size of each draw, not the dose. This table shows units on a U-100 syringe, the kind marked in 100 units per mL.

2 mL is the easy middle, and the clinic's guide gives the same 4, 8 and 12 units for 100, 200 and 300 mcg of each. Some vendor sheets, including the vendor protocol cited here, list half these units because they work from the whole vial instead of the 5 mg of each, so draw from this table.

How to mix the vial, step by step, is in our guide to reconstituting peptides, and the reconstitution calculator works out any other vial size or water amount.

Once a day, at bedtime. The clinic's guide and the telehealth guide both put the dose at bedtime, to line up with the large growth hormone release your body makes in early sleep. The vendor protocol allows before bed or on waking.

On an empty stomach. The telehealth guide says food, especially carbohydrates and fat, can blunt the growth hormone response. The clinic's guide puts it at least two to three hours after eating carbohydrates.

Every night, or 5 nights a week. The vendor protocol runs it daily. The clinic's guide starts beginners on 5 nights with 2 off and allows 5 to 7 nights at its middle level, and the telehealth guide offers 5 on, 2 off as one of its schedules.

A morning dose, later on. The clinic's advanced level splits the amount into a fasted morning dose and a bedtime dose, and the telehealth guide says some protocols add the morning dose after two to four weeks. It's something people add once they're settled, not a starting point.

Eight to twelve weeks, then a break. The clinic's guide and the vendor protocol both run 8 to 12 weeks, and the vendor allows a stretch to 16. The telehealth guide gives three months on and one month off, and the clinic suggests a blood test partway through for IGF-1, the marker that tracks growth hormone, and a break of at least 4 weeks before the next course.

A mixed vial goes on a 28-day clock in the fridge the day water goes in, however much of it gets used, so the starting amounts leave some behind.

At 100 mcg of each, a 10 mg blend would last 50 nights, but it expires at 28 with about 2.2 mg of each still in it, and on 5 nights a week about 3 mg of each is left. That's the cost of starting low, and it's normal.

The step-up month on the vendor protocol uses the first vial better, since two weeks at 100 and two at 150 uses 3.5 mg of each in 28 days. From 200 mcg of each every night, a vial lasts 25 nights and fits the clock, and on 5 nights a week it expires with about 1 mg of each left. The vendor's full 12 weeks takes four or five 10 mg blends, so compare vendors on that total, not on the price of one vial.

CJC-1295 with DAC is a long-acting version that stays active for about a week, so its schedule is completely different. The same clinic's guide gives it at 1 to 2 mg once or twice a week, and none of the amounts above apply to it. It has its own CJC-1295 dosage chart, and this comparison sets the pair against sermorelin.

Separate vials. The two compounds are also sold on their own. If that's what you have, each one's amounts are on the ipamorelin dosage page and the CJC-1295 chart.

These come from people who take the pair and from the clinic's own side-effect list, not from studies, and they're the reason both the clinic and the vendor only step up when the lower amount was uneventful.

A head rush or flushing after the dose. Reported most in the first week and usually settling. People usually keep going if it fades and stay at the lower amount if it doesn't.

Puffiness in the hands or face, or numbness and tingling in the hands. Reported more at higher amounts, and people usually step back down or take a break.

Vivid dreams or broken sleep. It's the opposite of what most people took it for, and some people move the dose to the morning or lower it when it happens.

Blood sugar drifting up. Growth hormone is known to raise insulin resistance, which is why people with diabetes or prediabetes watch their numbers on it.
