CJC-1295 No DAC Before and After Real Results: Timeline Comparison

Week 1–2 IGF-1 begins rising (10–20% above baseline) Improved sleep depth, slight reduction in DOMS 'Feeling better but no visible change' Too early for composition changes. Baseline establishment period Week 4–6 IGF-1 elevated 50–100% above baseline, sustaine

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Week 1–2
  • IGF-1 begins rising (10–20% above baseline)
  • Improved sleep depth, slight reduction in DOMS
  • 'Feeling better but no visible change'
  • Too early for composition changes. Baseline establishment period
  • Week 4–6
  • IGF-1 elevated 50–100% above baseline, sustained GH pulse amplitude
  • Modest fat loss in midsection (1–2% body fat), improved muscle fullness during training
  • 'Clothes fit slightly better, recovery feels faster'
  • First measurable window. Composition changes detectable via DEXA but not always visible
  • Week 8–12
  • IGF-1 plateau at 1.5–2× baseline, maintained GH elevation
  • 2–5% body fat reduction, 1–3kg lean mass gain, enhanced vascularity in conditioned users
  • 'Noticeable difference in mirror, strength improvements'
  • Peak visual outcome window. Maximal benefit at this stage
  • Week 12+
  • IGF-1 remains elevated if dosing continues, potential receptor desensitisation without cycling
  • Maintenance of composition changes, continued recovery benefits
  • 'Sustained improvements but plateau effect'
  • Cycling or dose adjustment recommended beyond 12 weeks to avoid diminishing returns
  • This table reflects aggregated clinical and observational data. Individual variance is significant. Users with higher baseline body fat (above 20%) see more dramatic fat loss; users already lean (sub-12%) see enhanced muscle detail and vascularity but minimal absolute mass gain.
