Ipamorelin Reconstitution & Dose Calculator
Ipamorelin is a selective growth-hormone secretagogue (a GHRP) that prompts a natural GH pulse, studied for doing so without the cortisol or prolactin rise some older GHRPs cause. This free calculator turns a Ipamorelin vial plus bacteriostatic water into the exact insulin syringe units to draw. It is unit-conversion math, not a dosing recommendation. Ipamorelin vials are commonly 5 mg, so the tool below starts at 5 mg; change any field to match your own vial.
Reconstitution calculator
Pick your peptide, vial size, and BAC water. Get exact units to draw on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
Pick your peptide
Type to search, or pick from the dropdown. Auto-fills the recommended vial size.
- • Standard insulin syringe = 100 units total
- • Small markings = 1 unit each
- • Large markings = 10 units (0.1 mL)
- • 100 units = 1 mL
Always verify reconstitution math against a second source before any dose you actually inject.
Ipamorelin concentration at a glance
Concentration is just vial mg divided by the bacteriostatic water you add. A more dilute mix gives a bigger, easier-to-read draw on the syringe. Here is a 5 mg Ipamorelin vial at three common water volumes (U-100 insulin syringe, where 1 unit = 0.01 mL):
| BAC water | Concentration | Per insulin unit | 50 units draws |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 2.50 mg |
| 2 mL | 2.50 mg/mL | 25 mcg | 1.25 mg |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 16.67 mcg | 0.83 mg |
Worked example: a 5 mg Ipamorelin vial in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 2.50 mg/mL. One unit on a U-100 pin is 25 mcg, so if your protocol calls for 1.25 mg you would draw to 50 units. That is arithmetic from the numbers you enter, nothing more. Pepdex does not tell you what dose to take.
Ipamorelin reconstitution questions
- How do you reconstitute Ipamorelin?
- Add bacteriostatic water to the dry Ipamorelin vial slowly down the side, let it dissolve without shaking, and store it in the fridge. The amount of water you add sets the concentration. A 5 mg vial in 2 mL of water is 2.50 mg/mL; the same vial in 1 mL is 5 mg/mL. Use the calculator above with your own vial and water to see the exact result.
- How many insulin units is a dose of Ipamorelin?
- It depends entirely on how much water you mixed, because milligrams describe the powder and units describe the volume drawn. With a 5 mg vial reconstituted in 2 mL, one unit on a U-100 pin is 25 mcg, so 50 units draws 1.25 mg. Change the water and that number changes. Enter your numbers above to get yours.
- What vial sizes does Ipamorelin come in?
- Commonly 5 mg. The calculator defaults to 5 mg for Ipamorelin but you can set any vial size. Always work from the mg printed on the vial you actually have, not a number from a forum.
- Is ipamorelin the same as CJC-1295?
- No, they are different molecules that are often discussed together. Ipamorelin is a GHRP that prompts a growth-hormone pulse; CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog that raises the baseline that pulse rises from. They act on different receptors, so their reconstitution numbers do not transfer between them.
- Is the Ipamorelin calculator free?
- Yes. The reconstitution and units math is completely free with no account. A free account adds saving your protocol plus a 3-day trial of the AI Coach and Personal Stack.
