Ipamorelin (5 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

Ipamorelin Dosage Chart

Ipamorelin is dosed at 100 mcg–250 mcg daily via subcutaneous injection in educational protocols. A 5 mg vial reconstituted with bacteriostatic water yields about 1.67 mg/mL. This information is for research and educational use only.

Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → ~1.67 mg/mL concentration.

Typical daily range: 100–250 mcg once daily (gradual titration recommended).

Easy measuring: At 1.67 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 16.7 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Storage: Lyophilized: 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) or freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) and use within ~4 weeks.

Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide that acts as a selective growth hormone secretagogue by mimicking ghrelin at the GH secretagogue receptor[1][2]. Its key advantage is high specificity for GH release without triggering ACTH or cortisol elevation, making it one of the safer GH secretagogues with minimal off-target hormonal effects[1][3]. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach using practical dilution for precise insulin-syringe measurements.

Standard / Gradual Approach (3.0 mL = ~1.67 mg/mL)

Weeks 1–2

100 mcg

6 units (0.06 mL)

Weeks 3–4

150 mcg

9 units (0.09 mL)

Weeks 5–8

200 mcg

12 units (0.12 mL)

Weeks 9–12

250 mcg

15 units (0.15 mL)

Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously, ideally 30–60 minutes before bedtime on an empty stomach to synergize with natural nocturnal GH secretion[4][5]. For ≤10-unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30- or 50-unit insulin syringes for improved readability.

Reconstitution Steps

Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.

Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.

Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake vigorously).

Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light.

Supplies Needed

Plan based on an 8–16 week daily protocol with gradual titration.

Peptide Vials (Ipamorelin, 5 mg each):

8 weeks ≈ 2 vials

12 weeks ≈ 4 vials

16 weeks ≈ 5 vials

Insulin Syringes (U-100):

Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)

8 weeks: 56 syringes

12 weeks: 84 syringes

16 weeks: 112 syringes

Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.

8 weeks (2 vials): 6 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle

12 weeks (4 vials): 12 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles

16 weeks (5 vials): 15 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles

Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.

Per week: 14 swabs (2/day)

8 weeks: 112 swabs → recommend 2 × 100-count boxes

12 weeks: 168 swabs → recommend 2 × 100-count boxes

16 weeks: 224 swabs → recommend 3 × 100-count boxes
