Ipamorelin: Reconstitution Math & Reference
Last updated
How do you reconstitute ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin reconstitution is arithmetic: divide vial mass (mg) by added bacteriostatic water (ml) to get mg/ml. A 5 mg vial in 2 ml BAC water gives 2.5 mg/ml. Drawing 8 units on a U-100 syringe (0.08 ml) then delivers 200 mcg. Peptly does this conversion instantly with a visual draw indicator.
What is Ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin is a 5-amino-acid synthetic peptide and a selective growth hormone secretagogue.
Ipamorelin has been studied in animal models and small clinical trials exploring growth hormone release. It is not FDA-approved for human use.
Ipamorelin commonly ships as 2 mg or 5 mg lyophilized vials. Reconstitution follows the standard vial-mass-over-water-volume formula.
Research protocols often pair ipamorelin with CJC-1295 (no-DAC). Peptly tracks them as separate compound profiles so the injection log + saved mixes stay clean.
Reconstitution math — reference table
| Vial | BAC water | Concentration | Example dose | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 1 ml | 2 mg/ml | 200 mcg | 10 units |
| 2 mg | 2 ml | 1 mg/ml | 200 mcg | 20 units |
| 5 mg | 2 ml | 2.5 mg/ml | 200 mcg | 8 units |
| 5 mg | 3 ml | 1.67 mg/ml | 300 mcg | 18 units |
| 5 mg | 5 ml | 1 mg/ml | 300 mcg | 30 units |
Storage and shelf-life
Most research protocols refrigerate reconstituted ipamorelin at 2–8 °C and use within 2–4 weeks. Lyophilized powder typically stores at −20 °C until reconstitution.

Frequently asked questions
How is ipamorelin reconstitution math different from BPC-157? +
It is not — both follow the same vial-mass-over-water-volume formula. The practical difference is that ipamorelin doses tend to be small (100–300 mcg), so unit counts on a U-100 syringe land in the single-digit to teens range.
Can I track ipamorelin and CJC-1295 cycles together in Peptly? +
Yes. Peptly tracks them as separate peptide profiles with their own saved reconstitution mixes. The injection log shows them side by side in the History view.
What BAC water volume makes the most readable unit count for ipamorelin? +
For a 5 mg vial, 2 ml gives 2.5 mg/ml — a 200 mcg dose lands at 8 units, easy to read on a U-100 scale. Peptly shows the unit count live as you adjust the BAC slider.
How long does reconstituted ipamorelin stay viable? +
Most research protocols use reconstituted ipamorelin within 2–4 weeks when refrigerated at 2–8 °C. Peptly does not provide stability advice — consult peer-reviewed sources or a licensed clinician.
Is ipamorelin approved for human use? +
No. Ipamorelin is not FDA-approved for human use. Peptly is a calculator and reference, not medical advice.
