CJC-1295 Dosage Muscle Growth 2026: Comparison Table

Conservative Hypertrophy 100–150mcg 3x weekly 300–450mcg Moderate IGF-1 elevation, minimal side effect risk Low. Well below saturation threshold Best for first-time researchers or those prioritizing safety over maximal response Standard Hypertrophy 200–300mcg

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Conservative Hypertrophy
  • 100–150mcg
  • 3x weekly
  • 300–450mcg
  • Moderate IGF-1 elevation, minimal side effect risk
  • Low. Well below saturation threshold
  • Best for first-time researchers or those prioritizing safety over maximal response
  • Standard Hypertrophy
  • 200–300mcg
  • 2–3x weekly
  • 400–900mcg
  • Maximal anabolic signaling without receptor saturation
  • Moderate at 3x weekly dosing
  • Most widely validated protocol in hypertrophy literature. Balances efficacy and tolerability
  • Aggressive Hypertrophy
  • 400–500mcg
  • 2x weekly
  • 800–1000mcg
  • Near-maximal receptor occupancy, highest IGF-1 response
  • High. Approaching saturation ceiling
  • Diminishing returns above 300mcg per dose; only justified in advanced protocols with cycling
  • Recomposition
  • 150–200mcg
  • 450–600mcg
  • Lipolysis + lean mass retention
  • Low to moderate
  • Lower per-dose amount preserves GH's fat-mobilizing effect without overshooting anabolic threshold
  • Maintenance/Bridge
  • 100–200mcg
  • 1–2x weekly
  • 100–400mcg
  • Sustain baseline GH elevation between higher-dose cycles
  • Very low
  • Used during off-cycle periods to maintain elevated IGF-1 without chronic receptor exposure
