What is ipamorelin?
People searching for ipamorelin dosage are usually trying to turn a figure into syringe marks, and that arithmetic is the whole job of this page. Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide, a chain of five amino acids, that belongs to the growth hormone secretagogue family. It is grouped with peptides such as hexarelin and GHRP-6, which act on the same receptor class.
Online, ipamorelin is sold as a research-labeled freeze-dried powder, most often as ipamorelin 2mg, ipamorelin 5mg or ipamorelin 10mg vials, and very often blended with CJC-1295. Nothing on this page describes what ipamorelin does in the body. It covers how the powder, BAC water and a U-100 syringe relate to each other.
How much BAC water for an ipamorelin vial?
There is no single correct volume for ipamorelin reconstitution. The bacteriostatic water only sets the concentration: less water makes each unit stronger, more water makes each unit weaker. The chart below shows mcg per unit for the three common vial sizes across several water volumes.
| BAC water | 2 mg vial | 5 mg vial | 10 mg vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 20 mcg/unit 2 mg/mL | 50 mcg/unit 5 mg/mL | 100 mcg/unit 10 mg/mL |
| 2 mL | 10 mcg/unit 1 mg/mL | 25 mcg/unit 2.5 mg/mL | 50 mcg/unit 5 mg/mL |
| 3 mL | 6.67 mcg/unit 0.667 mg/mL | 16.67 mcg/unit 1.667 mg/mL | 33.33 mcg/unit 3.333 mg/mL |
| 5 mL | 4 mcg/unit 0.4 mg/mL | 10 mcg/unit 1 mg/mL | 20 mcg/unit 2 mg/mL |
Each cell shows mcg per unit on a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) and the resulting concentration.
Read across a row to compare vial sizes at the same volume, or down a column to see how one vial changes as water is added. Each cell is vial mg × 1,000 ÷ (water mL × 100). The BAC water to peptide ratio guide walks through why doubling the water halves every cell.
Worked example: ipamorelin 5mg and 10mg in units
Here is the arithmetic for one vial. For example, if the amount you already have is 200 mcg and a 5 mg ipamorelin vial is mixed with 2 mL of BAC water:
The math: 5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), which is 25 mcg per unit. 200 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/mL = 0.08 mL = 8 units on a U-100 syringe.
The larger vial works the same way. For example, if the amount you already have is 300 mcg and a 10 mg vial is mixed with 3 mL:
The math: 10 mg ÷ 3 mL = 3.3333 mg/mL (3,333.33 mcg/mL), which is 33.33 mcg per unit. 300 mcg ÷ 3,333.33 mcg/mL = 0.09 mL = 9 units on a U-100 syringe.
The steps are always the same. Divide the vial amount by the water volume to get concentration, divide the amount you have by the concentration to get mL, and multiply by 100 for units, because 100 units equal 1 mL on a U-100 syringe. Convert first if your figures are in different units; 1 mg is 1,000 mcg, and the mg to mcg conversion guide has a quick table.
Ipamorelin dosage calculator: what the numbers mean
An ipamorelin dosage calculator, and the ipamorelin dosage chart above, answer a narrow question: how many units on a U-100 syringe match an amount you already have, for your vial and your water volume. The calculator takes the mg on the label, the mL of BAC water and the amount you enter, and returns concentration, volume and a unit mark.
It does not pick an amount, a frequency or a schedule, and it cannot judge whether a number is appropriate or whether a vial is what its label claims. Those decisions belong to the product labeling and a qualified professional. An ipamorelin dosage chart made this way is a conversion table, not a protocol. For quick checks without scrolling, the BAC water calculator on the homepage runs the same formula.
If a result looks strange, such as a fraction of a unit or more than a full syringe, the cause is almost always one of three things: the vial size was typed wrong, mg and mcg were mixed, or the water volume entered is not the volume actually added. Fix the input and the output follows, because every number on this page comes from the same three values.
CJC-1295 and ipamorelin blend vials
Ipamorelin is frequently sold pre-blended with CJC-1295 without DAC. A common label reads 10 mg total, 5 mg of each peptide. Every unit drawn from a blend contains both peptides in the label ratio, so the table below shows each component separately:
| BAC water | CJC-1295 (5 mg) | Ipamorelin (5 mg) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 mL | 25 mcg/unit 2.5 mg/mL | 25 mcg/unit 2.5 mg/mL |
| 3 mL | 16.67 mcg/unit 1.667 mg/mL | 16.67 mcg/unit 1.667 mg/mL |
| 5 mL | 10 mcg/unit 1 mg/mL | 10 mcg/unit 1 mg/mL |
Every unit drawn contains all components together. Each column shows that component's mcg per unit on a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) for a 10 mg blend vial.
With the single-compound calculator, enter the mg of the component your amount refers to, not the vial total. For a cjc 1295 ipamorelin blend listed as 5 mg each, that means entering 5, not 10. Other blends list different splits, so read your own label.
Ipamorelin reconstitution notes and status
Some suppliers specify bacteriostatic water as the diluent and list a suggested volume; others leave the choice open. Some suppliers advise adding the water slowly down the side of the vial and swirling gently rather than shaking. Handling and storage after reconstitution should follow the product labeling; the peptide reconstitution guide covers the general steps.
Ipamorelin is not an FDA-approved drug, and vials sold online are labeled for research use only. A correct calculation cannot confirm identity, purity or sterility.
Ipamorelin FAQ
How much BAC water do you add to a 5 mg ipamorelin vial?
There is no single required volume. The water only sets the concentration. The chart shows mcg per unit for several volumes; the diluent and volume come from the product labeling.
Is this an ipamorelin dosage calculator?
It converts an amount you already have into mL and U-100 syringe units for your vial and water volume. It does not recommend a dose, schedule or treatment.
How do I calculate a CJC-1295 and ipamorelin 10 mg blend?
Enter the mg of the one component your amount refers to, such as 5 for a label listing 5 mg of each, rather than the 10 mg total. Each unit drawn contains both peptides in the label ratio.
What changes between a 5 mg and a 10 mg ipamorelin vial?
With the same water volume, the 10 mg vial is twice as concentrated, so the same amount takes half as many units. The chart shows the sizes side by side.
Is ipamorelin FDA-approved?
No. Ipamorelin is not an FDA-approved drug, and vials sold online are labeled for research use only.
