CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin Dosage Calculator

CJC-1295 and ipamorelin are usually dosed around 100 mcg and 200–300 mcg respectively — small enough that under-diluting makes accurate measurement impossible. Calculate each peptide separately below.

This is a unit converter. It converts an amount you already have into volume and syringe units. It does not tell you what to take, and it is educational only — not medical advice. Confirm every amount with your clinician and your product label.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin doses reported in research

The figures below are doses reported in published clinical trials or, where no human trials exist, ranges reported anecdotally. They are reference data only. DoseRoutine does not recommend doses — your prescriber decides yours.

Phase	Dose	Frequency	Notes
CJC-1295 (no DAC)	~100 mcg	1–3× daily	Saturation dose is roughly 1 mcg/kg; more does not add much.
Ipamorelin	200–300 mcg	1–3× daily	Paired 1:2 or 1:3 with CJC-1295 in most protocols.
CJC-1295 with DAC	1–2 mg	Once or twice weekly	Long half-life — a different protocol entirely.
Timing	—	Fasted, before bed	Insulin blunts the GH pulse; leave ~2 h either side of food.

Reference ranges reported in the literature and in common practice — not a prescription, and not personalized advice.

What trips people up

A blended vial labeled '10 mg' is usually 5 mg of each peptide — calculate per-peptide, never on the combined weight.
5 mg + 2.5 mL = 2 mg/mL, so 200 mcg = 10 units. Diluting to 5 mL makes the same dose 20 units and much easier to read.
Dosing past the saturation point does not raise the GH pulse — it just burns through the vial faster.
Ipamorelin is selective; GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 raise cortisol and prolactin more, which is why this pair is the common choice.

How the math works

Concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg ÷ bacteriostatic water mL.
Volume per dose (mL) = dose mg ÷ concentration.
Syringe units = volume × 100 on a U-100 syringe, or × 40 on a U-40 syringe.
Doses per vial = vial mg ÷ dose mg. Water volume never changes this number.

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin calculator FAQ

How much BAC water for CJC-1295 and ipamorelin?

For a 5 mg ipamorelin vial, 2.5 mL gives 2 mg/mL where 200 mcg = 10 units. For a 2 mg CJC-1295 vial, 2 mL gives 1 mg/mL where 100 mcg = 10 units. Add more water on either if you want larger, easier-to-read draws.

How many units is 100 mcg of CJC-1295?

At 1 mg/mL (2 mg vial + 2 mL) it is 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe. At 2 mg/mL it is 5 units — too small to measure reliably, which is why the lower concentration is preferred.

Do I need two syringes for a CJC-1295 and ipamorelin stack?

If they are in separate vials, yes — or draw one into the syringe and then the other, keeping the total volume within the barrel. Blended vials only need one draw, but you must know the per-peptide mg.

Should I inject on an empty stomach?

Yes, this is the one timing rule that consistently matters. Insulin released after a meal suppresses the growth hormone pulse these peptides are meant to trigger, so most protocols leave a two-hour gap either side.
