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.

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 maths works

  1. Concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg ÷ bacteriostatic water mL.
  2. Volume per dose (mL) = dose mg ÷ concentration.
  3. Syringe units = volume × 100 on a U-100 syringe, or × 40 on a U-40 syringe.
  4. 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.
