Ipamorelin Dosage Guide: How Much to Take

Complete dosage information for Ipamorelin including starting dose, maintenance dose, titration schedule, and administration guidance.

Dosage at a Glance

Starting Dose

100

mcg

Typical Dose

200-300

mcg

Max Studied Dose

500

mcg

Frequency: 1–3 times daily (often before bed and/or around workouts)

Dosing Notes

Commonly dosed at 200–300mcg per injection, 1–3 times daily. Best taken on an empty stomach to maximize GH pulse. Frequently combined with CJC-1295 or GHRH peptides for synergistic effect.

Administration Routes

✓Subcutaneous injection

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

General guidance: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember — unless it's almost time for your next dose. Never double up. For weekly peptides, a 1–2 day delay is generally acceptable without restarting titration.

How to Reconstitute Ipamorelin

If you have lyophilized (freeze-dried) Ipamorelin powder, it must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) before use. Here is the standard reconstitution process:

Gather supplies

Lyophilized peptide vial, bacteriostatic water (BAC water), insulin syringe, alcohol swabs

Clean surfaces

Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with alcohol swabs and allow to air dry

Draw BAC water

Draw the desired volume of BAC water into an insulin syringe

Add BAC water slowly

Insert needle into the peptide vial at an angle; let BAC water run down the inside wall — do NOT inject directly onto the powder

Swirl gently

Gently swirl (do NOT shake) until the powder fully dissolves — the solution should be clear

Store correctly

Refrigerate immediately at 2–8°C (36–46°F). Use within 28 days.

BAC Water Volume Reference

The amount of BAC water you add determines the concentration per unit (IU or tick) on your syringe. Common configurations:

Vial Size	BAC Water Added	Concentration	Volume per mg
5mg	1mL	5mg/mL	0.20mL per 1mg
5mg	2mL	2.5mg/mL	0.40mL per 1mg
10mg	1mL	10mg/mL	0.10mL per 1mg
10mg	2mL	5mg/mL	0.20mL per 1mg

Using a 100-unit (1mL) insulin syringe: each 10 tick marks = 0.1mL. Adjust your draw based on the concentration above.

Storage & Shelf Life

Lyophilized (dry powder)

Temperature: 2–8°C refrigerated

Shelf life: 12–24 months

Can withstand room temp for shipping (few days)

Reconstituted (liquid)

Temperature: 2–8°C refrigerated only

Shelf life: 28 days

Never freeze reconstituted peptide — degrades quickly
