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:

1
Gather supplies
Lyophilized peptide vial, bacteriostatic water (BAC water), insulin syringe, alcohol swabs
2
Clean surfaces
Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with alcohol swabs and allow to air dry
3
Draw BAC water
Draw the desired volume of BAC water into an insulin syringe
4
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
5
Swirl gently
Gently swirl (do NOT shake) until the powder fully dissolves — the solution should be clear
6
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 SizeBAC Water AddedConcentrationVolume per mg
5mg1mL5mg/mL0.20mL per 1mg
5mg2mL2.5mg/mL0.40mL per 1mg
10mg1mL10mg/mL0.10mL per 1mg
10mg2mL5mg/mL0.20mL 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
