Peptide LibraryCJC-1295 with DAC calculator
This page is for CJC-1295 with DAC, the long-acting form used in the two 2006 studies in healthy adults, which dosed it under the skin per kilogram of body weight. CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) is a different, much shorter-acting peptide with its own profile, and it is the form in the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin blend. Vials are most often 5 mg. The calculator does the vial arithmetic; the studied doses are listed below as reported, not converted.

Concentration and micrograms per mark on a U-100 insulin syringe, by vial size and water added. The peptide amount never changes; only how concentrated it is.

Why the CJC-1295 with DAC study doses are not converted to units
The published human studies of CJC-1295 with DAC report doses per kilogram of body weight, not a fixed amount. Turning them into milligrams or syringe units would mean assuming a body weight, so this page lists them as reported and converts nothing. A fixed amount quoted elsewhere is not the same thing as a weight-based dose.

Common questions
How much bacteriostatic water do you add to a 5 mg CJC-1295 with DAC vial?
There is no single correct volume: the amount of peptide is fixed and the water only sets the concentration. For 5 mg, 1 mL gives 5 mg/mL (50 mcg per unit), 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL (25 mcg per unit) and 3 mL gives 1.67 mg/mL (16.7 mcg per unit). More water makes each syringe mark hold less, which makes small amounts easier to measure accurately.
What dose does the CJC-1295 with DAC calculator use?
None. The published human studies of CJC-1295 with DAC report doses per kilogram of body weight (30 or 60 mcg/kg (doses up to 120 mcg/kg were studied)), so they are not a fixed amount, and the calculator does not turn them into one. It converts a vial size, a water volume and an amount you enter into a volume and syringe units; the tables on this page show concentrations only.
What does one unit on an insulin syringe mean?
A unit is a volume mark, not an amount of drug. On a U-100 syringe 100 units fill 1 mL, so 10 units is always 0.1 mL; how much peptide those 10 units hold depends only on the concentration you mixed. U-40 syringes use 40 marks per mL, so the same volume reads as a different number of units.
