A 2 mg CJC-1295 vial mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 1 mg/ml. A 100 mcg dose is 0.10 ml — 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 20 doses of that size.
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for CJC-1295 doses from 100 mcg to 2 mg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 2 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 100 mcg dose used above.
| Dose | 1 ml water 2 mg/ml | 2 ml water 1 mg/ml | 3 ml water 0.667 mg/ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 5 u 0.050 ml | 10 u 0.10 ml | 15 u 0.15 ml | 20 |
| 1 mg | 50 u 0.50 ml | 100 u 1.00 ml | 1.50 ml over 100 u | 2 |
| 2 mg | 100 u 1.00 ml | 2.00 ml over 100 u | 3.00 ml over 100 u | 1 |
A 10-unit draw fits comfortably on a 0.3 ml insulin syringe (30-unit capacity), whose 1-unit (often half-unit) markings are easier to read than the 2-unit ticks on a 1 ml syringe.
Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the CJC-1295 guide for sources.
CJC-1295 is a synthetic analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary to release endogenous growth hormone in a pulsatile fashion.
Half-life: No-DAC: ~30 minutes. DAC version: ~6–8 days.
Typical dose range: 100 mcg, 1–3x daily (no-DAC); 1–2 mg weekly (DAC)
Class: GHRH analog (growth-hormone-releasing hormone)
Regulatory status: Not FDA approved. Research use only.

Need a different unit or a different question? The peptide dose converter moves a dose between mcg, mg and IU, and the CJC-1295 half-life chart shows how concentration accumulates across a dosing cadence. Loading CJC-1295 into a reusable 3 ml pen instead of drawing it with a syringe? The peptide pen calculator turns the same vial into mcg per click and clicks to dial. All of them are listed on the free peptide tools page.
Both. This CJC-1295 calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 2 mg CJC-1295 vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 2 mg vial is mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (1 mg/ml). That is 0.10 ml. With a different amount of water the unit count changes — the dose chart on this page lists 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml mixes.
20 doses of 100 mcg. The number of doses depends only on vial strength and dose size — adding more or less water changes the volume of each draw, not how many draws the vial holds.
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether CJC-1295 is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
