Ipamorelin Dosage Calculator
Ipamorelin doses sit around 200–300 mcg, so how much bacteriostatic water you add decides whether your draw is a readable 10–30 units or an unmeasurable 4. Work it out 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.

Ipamorelin concentration reference (mg/mL)
What each vial size becomes at common bacteriostatic water volumes.
| Vial | + 1 mL | + 2 mL | + 3 mL | + 5 mL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 2.00 mg/mL | 1.00 mg/mL | 0.67 mg/mL | 0.40 mg/mL |
| 5 mg | 5.00 mg/mL | 2.50 mg/mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 1.00 mg/mL |
| 10 mg | 10.00 mg/mL | 5.00 mg/mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 2.00 mg/mL |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common dose | 200–300 mcg | 1–3× daily | Roughly the saturation point for a GH pulse. |
| Timing | — | Fasted / before bed | Food and insulin blunt the pulse. |
| Paired with | 100 mcg CJC-1295 | Same injection | GHRH + GHRP synergy is the usual reason to stack. |
| Cycle | — | 8–12 weeks | Then a break; long-term data is absent. |

What trips people up
- 5 mg + 5 mL = 1 mg/mL, so 200 mcg = 20 units — much easier to read than the 10 units you get at 2 mg/mL.
- Ipamorelin is the selective GHRP: less cortisol and prolactin impact than GHRP-2 or GHRP-6, and far less hunger than hexarelin.
- Going above the saturation dose does not increase the GH pulse — it just costs more.
- It is on the WADA prohibited list at all times for tested athletes.
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.
Ipamorelin calculator FAQ
How many units is 200 mcg of ipamorelin?
At 2 mg/mL (5 mg + 2.5 mL) it is 10 units on a U-100 syringe. At 1 mg/mL (5 mg + 5 mL) it is 20 units — the more accurate option for a dose this small.
How much BAC water should I use for 5 mg of ipamorelin?
2.5 mL to 5 mL. More water means larger, more readable draws with no change to the drug itself. 5 mL is the better choice if you are dosing 200 mcg.
How many doses in a 5 mg ipamorelin vial?
Twenty-five doses at 200 mcg, or about sixteen at 300 mcg. Reconstitution volume does not change the count.
Is ipamorelin better alone or with CJC-1295?
The pair is standard because they act on different receptors — CJC-1295 raises the amplitude of your own GHRH signal while ipamorelin triggers the pulse. Alone, ipamorelin still works, just with a smaller effect.
