Ipamorelin reconstitution calculator
selective GH secretagogue
Ipamorelin is a ghrelin-receptor agonist that stimulates growth-hormone release with unusual selectivity - minimal effect on cortisol and prolactin, which made it the favorite of anti-aging clinics. It was also one of the first peptides the FDA specifically named when tightening compounding rules.
Enter vial size, water volume, and the dose your provider gave you.
This tool converts the numbers you enter (dose ÷ concentration = volume). It never suggests a dose. The FDA has documented hospitalizations caused by mg / ml / unit conversion errors with vial-and-syringe products - if the readout surprises you, stop and verify with your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions people actually search
How many units is 300 mcg of ipamorelin?
From a 5 mg vial with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (2.5 mg/ml), 300 mcg = 0.12 ml = 12 units. From the same vial with 5 ml (1 mg/ml), it's 30 units. Compute from your actual vial and water - units are never portable between preparations.
Why did clinics stop offering ipamorelin?
The FDA placed ipamorelin in Category 2 of its compounding bulk-substances review - significant safety concerns - which removed the legal pathway compounding pharmacies had relied on. Clinics still offering it are sourcing outside the sanctioned system.
Is ipamorelin the same as CJC-1295/ipamorelin blends?
No. Solo ipamorelin is a short-acting GH pulse; blends add CJC-1295 (a GHRH analog) for a second, longer-acting pathway. Blend vials state total peptide content, so the math differs - use the blend calculator for combined vials.
