Ipamorelin reconstitution calculator

Ipamorelin at a glance

5mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 4 units = 100mcg — Frequency: daily — Best taken: morning, fasted, or pre-bedtime

What it does

• Growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) — stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone without significantly raising cortisol or prolactin.
• One of the more selective GH secretagogues, which is why it is commonly paired with CJC-1295.
• Well-established in the peptide community with fairly consistent dosing protocols, though not FDA-approved for human use.

Raising growth hormone can unmask previously hidden hypothyroidism and shift how the body converts thyroid hormone — that is documented in hypopituitary patients on growth hormone replacement, not in healthy people using secretagogues, and how often it matters here is unknown. GH also raises blood sugar, working against insulin and other diabetes medications. Talk to your prescribing doctor before combining, especially if you take thyroid or diabetes medication.

Notes

The 5mg reference vial mixes to 2.5mg/mL. Larger vial size options are capped at ~3mL BAC water instead of diluted further, so they come out more concentrated (fewer units per dose) than this reference size. Community protocols commonly cycle GH-secretagogue peptides like this one — typically 8-12 weeks on followed by 4 weeks off (up to 12 weeks off after higher-dose runs) — since continuous use may reduce pituitary receptor sensitivity over time. This app defaults to daily/ongoing use; whether and when to take a break is a question for your prescriber.

Side Effects

• Mild injection site pain, redness, or itching.
• Mild headache, gone within hours.
• Increased appetite, water retention, fatigue in weeks 1-4.
• Joint pain at higher doses.

Ipamorelin vial sizes and concentrations

Standard water for each Ipamorelin vial size in the Dosify Me data, and the concentration it gives. One unit is 0.01 mL on a U-100 insulin syringe.

^* This size is conventionally mixed more concentrated rather than diluted further — fewer units per dose than smaller vials of this peptide.

Syringe units for the listed quantities, by vial size

Worked example for Ipamorelin

1. The example vial: 10 mg of Ipamorelin, mixed with 3.00 mL of bacteriostatic water.
2. Concentration: 10 mg ÷ 3.00 mL = 3.33 mg/mL.
3. One syringe unit is 0.01 mL, so it holds 3.33 mg/mL × 0.01 mL = 0.033 mg (33.33 mcg).
4. Example quantity: 100 mcg = 0.1 mg.
5. Volume: 0.1 mg ÷ 3.33 mg/mL = 0.03 mL.
6. Syringe reading: 0.03 mL × 100 = 3 units.

Frequently asked

How many units is 100 mcg of Ipamorelin?

At 2.5 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 5 mg), 100 mcg of Ipamorelin is 4.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.040 mL).

How many units is 150 mcg of Ipamorelin?

At 2.5 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 5 mg), 150 mcg of Ipamorelin is 6.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.060 mL).

How many units is 200 mcg of Ipamorelin?

At 2.5 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 5 mg), 200 mcg of Ipamorelin is 8.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.080 mL).

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 5 mg vial of Ipamorelin?

2.00 mL, which gives 2.5 mg/mL. Larger vials hold at most 3 mL of water, so they are mixed more concentrated and need fewer units per dose.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10 mg vial of Ipamorelin?

3.00 mL, which gives 3.33 mg/mL. This size holds at most 3 mL of water, so it is mixed more concentrated and the same dose is fewer units than from a smaller vial.

How often is Ipamorelin taken?

Daily. Morning, fasted, or pre-bedtime Typical cycle: ~8 weeks on, ~4 weeks off; repeat 2×/year.
