Ipamorelin Reconstitution Calculator
BAC water, concentration & dose-to-units charts
Work out how much bacteriostatic water to add to an ipamorelin vial and what each microgram dose becomes in syringe units — for example, a 5 mg vial in 2 mL of water is 2.5 mg/mL, so a 300 mcg dose is 0.12 mL, or 12 units on a U-100 syringe. Ipamorelin is a research peptide and is not FDA approved; this page handles reconstitution math only.
How ipamorelin reconstitution works
Ipamorelin is supplied as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder that you dissolve with bacteriostatic water before measuring a dose. The concentration is the vial strength divided by the water you add — a 5 mg vial in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL.
Ipamorelin doses are small (commonly 200–300 mcg per administration), so a lower concentration usually turns the dose into an easy-to-read number of units. Dose volume is the dose divided by the concentration, and on a U-100 insulin syringe that volume × 100 gives the unit marks. Remember 1 mg = 1000 mcg.
Reconstitution chart: concentration by ipamorelin vial size and water added
| Vial size | +1 mL | +2 mL | +3 mL | +5 mL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 5 mg/mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 1 mg/mLBest |
| 10 mg | 10 mg/mL | 5 mg/mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 2 mg/mL |
Ipamorelin dose to syringe units (by concentration)
| Dose | 1 mg/mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 5 mg/mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 0.1 mL → 10 | 0.04 mL → 4 | 0.02 mL → 2Best |
| 200 mcg | 0.2 mL → 20 | 0.08 mL → 8 | 0.04 mL → 4 |
| 300 mcg | 0.3 mL → 30 | 0.12 mL → 12 | 0.06 mL → 6 |
| 500 mcg | 0.5 mL → 50 | 0.2 mL → 20 | 0.1 mL → 10 |
How to reconstitute an ipamorelin vial
Storage & safety
Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative, so a reconstituted vial can be used for multiple draws; keep it refrigerated and labeled with its concentration and date. Ipamorelin is often stacked with a GHRH like CJC-1295 — track each separately so your unit math stays correct.
This page is educational and only handles reconstitution and unit math. Ipamorelin is not an approved medication, so decisions about whether to use it belong with a qualified healthcare professional, and you should verify any vial’s real content before relying on the label.
Frequently Asked Questions
5 mg in 1 mL is 5 mg/mL; in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL; in 5 mL is 1 mg/mL. For 200–300 mcg doses, 2 mL (2.5 mg/mL) is a common choice. Use the reconstitution chart above.
At 2.5 mg/mL, 300 mcg is 0.12 mL, or 12 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. At 5 mg/mL it is 0.06 mL (6 units). Units = (dose ÷ concentration) × 100, with the dose in mg (300 mcg = 0.3 mg).
Many reconstitute and draw them separately to keep dosing precise, though some combine pre-mixed blends. This calculator handles ipamorelin on its own; if you use a blend, calculate each peptide’s concentration independently.
A lower concentration like 1–2.5 mg/mL makes small mcg doses easy to read; 2.5 mg/mL puts a 250 mcg dose on 10 units.
