Ipamorelin peptide calculator
A 5 mg Ipamorelin vial mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 2.5 mg/ml. A 200 mcg dose is 0.080 ml — 8 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 25 doses of that size.
Ipamorelin dosage chart: units to draw
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for Ipamorelin doses from 100 mcg to 300 mcg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 5 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 200 mcg dose used above.
| Dose | 1 ml water 5 mg/ml | 2 ml water 2.5 mg/ml | 3 ml water 1.67 mg/ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 2 u 0.020 ml | 4 u 0.040 ml | 6 u 0.060 ml | 50 |
| 200 mcg | 4 u 0.040 ml | 8 u 0.080 ml | 12 u 0.12 ml | 25 |
| 300 mcg | 6 u 0.060 ml | 12 u 0.12 ml | 18 u 0.18 ml | 16 |
A 8-unit draw fits comfortably on a 0.3 ml insulin syringe (30-unit capacity), whose 1-unit (often half-unit) markings are easier to read than the 2-unit ticks on a 1 ml syringe.
Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the Ipamorelin guide for sources.
How to reconstitute Ipamorelin
- Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle into the Ipamorelin vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
- Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
- Storage for Ipamorelin: Lyophilized refrigerated. Reconstituted: refrigerated, use within 28 days.
- For a 200 mcg dose, draw to the 8-unit mark (0.080 ml) on a U-100 insulin syringe.
About Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that mimics ghrelin at the GHSR-1a receptor. It is prized for stimulating GH release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin.
Half-life: Approximately 2 hours
Typical dose range: 100–300 mcg per injection, 1–3x daily
Class: Ghrelin receptor agonist / GHRP (growth-hormone-releasing peptide)
Regulatory status: Not FDA approved. Research use only.

Ipamorelin calculator FAQ
Is this a Ipamorelin peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This Ipamorelin calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Ipamorelin vial?
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Ipamorelin vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 200 mcg Ipamorelin dose?
8 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 5 mg vial is mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (2.5 mg/ml). That is 0.080 ml. With a different amount of water the unit count changes — the dose chart on this page lists 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml mixes.
How many doses are in a 5 mg Ipamorelin vial?
25 doses of 200 mcg. The number of doses depends only on vial strength and dose size — adding more or less water changes the volume of each draw, not how many draws the vial holds.
Does this Ipamorelin dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether Ipamorelin is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
