Ipamorelin Reconstitution

How to reconstitute Ipamorelin

1. Swab the rubber stopper of the Ipamorelin vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with an alcohol wipe.
2. Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
3. Inject it slowly down the inside wall of the Ipamorelin vial, not directly onto the powder.
4. Swirl gently until the powder fully dissolves. Do not shake. Shaking can damage the peptide.
5. Keep the unreconstituted vial at 2 to 8 degrees C, or in the freezer for long-term storage.

Ipamorelin concentration by water volume

Ipamorelin is commonly supplied in 5 mg vials. The concentration depends only on how much bacteriostatic water you add. More water lowers the concentration and makes small doses easier to measure.

Ipamorelin units to draw

At 2,500 mcg/ml (a 5 mg vial in 2 ml of bacteriostatic water), here is the draw for doses across the range Ipamorelin is typically used at. Change any number in the calculator above for your own vial.

Ipamorelin dosing

There is no approved dose. Community and clinic protocols commonly reference roughly 200 to 300 mcg subcutaneously, once to a few times per day, frequently timed before sleep and often combined with CJC-1295. These figures come from practice and early research rather than from modern dose-finding trials, so treat them as convention, not validated medicine. Enter your own vial size, water volume, and target dose in the calculator above to convert any Ipamorelin protocol into exact insulin-syringe units. For the full profile, see the Ipamorelin compound page.

Storing reconstituted Ipamorelin

Keep the unreconstituted vial at 2 to 8 degrees C, or in the freezer for long-term storage. Once mixed, refrigerate at 2 to 8 degrees C and protect from light. No manufacturer stability study exists, so the commonly repeated 28-day window is convention rather than sourced data.

The only registered human trial dosed 0.03 mg/kg intravenously twice daily, roughly 2,100 mcg per dose for a 70 kg adult, which is far above the 100 to 300 mcg range circulated for subcutaneous use. That trial failed its primary endpoint and the programme was discontinued. The range above is research-supplier practice with no trial or label behind it.

There is no approved human dose for Ipamorelin. The range above reflects preclinical work and community protocols, not dose-finding trials, which is a meaningful distinction.

The math

• Concentration (mcg/ml) = vial size in mg × 1,000 ÷ bacteriostatic water in ml.
• Volume for your dose (ml) = dose in mcg ÷ concentration.
• Units to draw = volume in ml × 100 on a U-100 insulin syringe.
