Ipamorelin dosage chart for injection

Four patterns are shown, and the two with published human dosing gave it into a vein, for reasons other than nightly use. Read the source column, because the 200 to 300 mcg figure is convention on vendor pages, not a trial result. Background on how it works is on the ipamorelin page.

Ipamorelin comes as a freeze-dried powder that you mix with bacteriostatic water, which is sterile water with a preservative so one vial can be drawn from more than once. Across the vendors we track it's listed mostly in 5 and 10 mg vials, with a few 2 mg and larger sizes. The tables show units on a U-100 syringe, which holds 100 units in 1 mL, for 1, 2 and 3 mL of water.

More water means a bigger draw that's easier to read on the syringe, and it doesn't change the amount you take.

For any other vial, water or amount, the reconstitution calculator does the same math.

Nightly, before sleep. The pattern on vendor pages is one injection a night under the skin, commonly in the abdomen with the spot rotated.

On an empty stomach. Vendor pages say at least two hours after eating, on the reasoning that food raises insulin and insulin blunts growth hormone release. That's mechanism reasoning, not something tested for this compound.

Twelve weeks, then a break. Twelve weeks on and about four off is the course described most often on those pages, and eight on and four off also circulates. No study sets either. For planning, 84 nights at 200 mcg is 16.8 mg and at 300 mcg is 25.2 mg, so compare vendors against a course total, not one vial price.

A mixed vial goes on a 28-day clock in the fridge the day water goes in, however much of it gets used. At 200 mcg a night a 5 mg vial lasts 25 nights and fits inside the clock. At 300 mcg it lasts 16 nights, with 200 mcg left over.

A 10 mg vial doesn't fit. At 200 mcg it would last 50 nights, so about 4.4 mg is left when it expires on day 28, and at 300 mcg about 1.6 mg is. A 12-week course takes three 10 mg vials or four 5 mg vials at 200 mcg, and the 5 mg route buys less powder to do it. A 2 mg vial lasts only 10 nights at 200 mcg. Compare the prices below by price per milligram, then by how much of the vial you'll finish.

CJC-1295 no-DAC. This is the partner on vendor pages, because the two work through different receptors, one copying the brain's growth hormone signal and the other the stomach's hunger hormone. The amounts reported are 100 mcg of CJC-1295 with 200 to 300 mcg of ipamorelin, nightly. The units, the premixed 1:1 vial problem and the vial math are on the CJC-1295 ipamorelin dosage page.

GHRP-2 and GHRP-6. These are the older compounds in the same family, and they act on the same receptor, so running one with ipamorelin repeats the same signal rather than adding a second. In the original animal work, both raised the stress hormones adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol and ipamorelin didn't, even at more than 200 times the amount that released growth hormone. That was in pigs, not people. See the ipamorelin and GHRP-6 comparison and the ipamorelin and sermorelin comparison.

BPC-157. It comes up as a recovery pairing, on its own schedule. See the BPC-157 dosage chart. Nothing combines the two in a study.

These are reported experiences from people who run it, not findings from a study of research vials.

A head rush or flushing after the dose. Reported most in the first week and usually settling. People usually keep going if it fades and stop if it doesn't.

Puffiness in the hands or face, or numbness and tingling in the hands. Often tied to higher growth hormone levels, and people usually lower the amount or take a break.

Vivid dreams or broken sleep. The opposite of what most people came for, and a reason some people dose earlier in the evening or lower.

Blood sugar drifting up. People with diabetes or prediabetes are the ones told to watch for it.

Cloudy or discolored liquid. A mixed vial that was clear and has turned cloudy or changed color is generally discarded rather than used.
