Ipamorelin Reconstitution & Dosing
Quick answer: mix a 5 mg vial of Ipamorelin with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water. That gives 2.50 mg/ml, so a typical 300 mcg dose is 12 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — about 16 doses per vial. Reported protocols range 200 mcg–300 mcg, 1–3x daily, often before bed.
Ipamorelin is the most selective growth-hormone secretagogue — it triggers a clean GH pulse without meaningfully raising cortisol or prolactin. It is most commonly stacked with CJC-1295 (no DAC) and taken before bed to amplify the natural nighttime pulse. Full overview: what is Ipamorelin? →
