- Concentration = 5 mg × 1,000 ÷ 2 mL = 2,500 mcg/mL
- Volume = 200 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/mL = 0.08 mL
- Units = 0.08 mL × 100 = 8 units (U-100: 100 units = 1 mL)
The pre-filled dose (200 mcg) is an example input so the calculator shows a result. It is not a recommendation.
Ipamorelin dosage chart (in units)
No validated human dose.
Ipamorelin has not been approved for human use, and there are no controlled human trials that establish a dose. The amounts below are what public protocol websites report — they are shown so you can see how they translate into syringe units, not as a recommendation.
Online protocols list about 200 mcg per injection (range 100–300 mcg), one to three times a day. Units are calculated for your current mix (5 mg vial + 2 mL water).
| Reported as | Amount | Frequency reported | Units (U-100) | mL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower amount listed | 100 mcg | 1–3× daily | 4 | 0.04 |
| Most commonly listed | 200 mcg | 1–3× daily | 8 | 0.08 |
| Higher amount listed | 300 mcg | 1–3× daily | 12 | 0.12 |

Ipamorelin units chart
Units to draw on a U-100 syringe for common Ipamorelin vial sizes, each mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Change the water in the calculator and this table updates.
| Dose | 2 mg vial | 5 mg vial | 10 mg vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 mcg | 10 | 4 | 2 |
| 200 mcg | 20 | 8 | 4 |
| 250 mcg | 25 | 10 | 5 |
| 300 mcg | 30 | 12 | 6 |
| 500 mcg | 50 | 20 | 10 |
Values are units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL). ">100" means the dose does not fit in a 1 mL syringe at this dilution.
About Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide growth hormone secretagogue (ghrelin receptor agonist). It reached clinical trials but was never approved.
Regulatory status: Not approved by the FDA for any human use. Products sold as "research peptides" are not regulated as medicines, and their purity and labeled content are not verified.
How to reconstitute Ipamorelin
- Wash your hands and let the vial reach room temperature.
- Wipe the rubber stoppers of the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water with an alcohol pad.
- Draw the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (for example 2 mL — that is 200 units on a 1 mL syringe).
- Inject the water slowly down the inside wall of the vial, not directly onto the powder.
- Gently swirl or roll the vial until the powder dissolves. Do not shake.
- Label the vial with the date and the concentration shown by the calculator, and store it as the product label directs (reconstituted peptides are normally kept refrigerated).
These are general handling steps, not medical instructions. If your product came with instructions from a pharmacy or prescriber, follow those.
What you need
Bacteriostatic water
Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used to dissolve the powder.
U-100 insulin syringes
0.3 mL syringes are easiest to read for small doses; 1 mL for larger ones.
Alcohol prep pads
Wipe the vial stopper before every draw.
Sharps container
For safe disposal of used needles.

Ipamorelin calculator FAQ
How many units is 200 mcg of Ipamorelin?
+
It depends on how much water you add. With a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 2,500 mcg/mL, so 200 mcg is 0.08 mL = 8 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. With a 10 mg vial and the same 2 mL of water it is 4 units.
How much water should I add to a 5 mg Ipamorelin vial?
+
The water volume does not change the total amount of Ipamorelin; it only sets the concentration. Common choices are 1–3 mL. With 2 mL, each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 25 mcg. Pick a volume that makes your dose easy to read on the syringe — the calculator above suggests volumes that land on round numbers.
How many doses are in a 5 mg vial of Ipamorelin?
+
At 200 mcg per injection, a 5 mg vial contains 25 full doses. The amount of water you add does not change this number.
What Ipamorelin dosage do people use?
+
There is no validated human dose for Ipamorelin. Online protocols list about 200 mcg per injection (range 100–300 mcg), one to three times a day. For reference, 100 mcg from a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of water is 4 units. These figures come from protocol websites, not clinical trials, and are not a recommendation.
Is Ipamorelin approved?
+
Not approved by the FDA for any human use. Products sold as "research peptides" are not regulated as medicines, and their purity and labeled content are not verified.
