To convert a reconstituted ipamorelin amount to syringe units, divide the milligrams you plan to draw by the vial’s concentration in mg/mL, then multiply by 100 for a U-100 insulin syringe. The unit marks measure liquid volume, not milligrams — any 0.05 mL of solution reads 5 units regardless of strength. Ipamorelin is investigational with no FDA-approved or established subcutaneous dose, so the tool ships with no preset — you enter your own value. This is arithmetic only, not medical advice; verify anything you do with a licensed clinician.
Ipamorelin reconstitution & dosage calculator X
Reconstitution / draw volume / syringe units / supply-chain
Arithmetic checks out. Confirm clinically, against the label, and against the actual vial before any use.
Independent check - dose mg / concentration mg/mL = volume. U-100 units = mL x 100.
Postoperative ileus trial used 0.03 mg/kg IV twice daily up to 7 days; primary endpoint not met
Do not use the IV study value as a subcutaneous protocol. No established outpatient injectable dose.
FDA notes immunogenicity/impurity concerns and serious adverse events including death in IV study context.
PubMed - PMID 25331030Supply-chain signal only - not a potency guarantee. Enter the COA's tested mg and purity above so the math reflects the real vial.
View on finnrick.comReverse: pick a dose and the units you want it to read, then calculate diluent to add.
Same-syringe co-draw. Reconstitute each peptide in its own vial, then draw them into one syringe.
- Reconstitute each peptide in its own vial — never add water to multiple peptides in one vial.
- Only co-draw peptides with the same diluent (e.g. both bacteriostatic water) and compatible pH.
- Draw and inject fresh — do not pre-mix and store; mixture stability is not established.
- No blended stack is clinically validated. Verify each component and confirm with a clinician.
Ipamorelin concentration and syringe-unit conversion chart
| Vial + water | Concentration | Units per 1 mg | Units per 100 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg + 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 | 2 |
| 5 mg + 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 40 | 4 |
| 5 mg + 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 60 | 6 |
| 10 mg + 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 10 | 1 |
| 10 mg + 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 | 2 |
| 10 mg + 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 30 | 3 |
Concentration = vial strength divided by the bacteriostatic water added. On a U-100 syringe 100 units = 1 mL, so units = (dose divided by concentration) x 100. Values are syringe units, not milligrams. Amber values exceed 100 units, which is more than one standard 1 mL U-100 syringe holds, so that combination needs a more concentrated solution. The only published human dosing figure for Ipamorelin is weight-based and was given intravenously, so it is neither a subcutaneous dose nor convertible to a fixed milligram column. This chart therefore shows conversion factors only. Multiply the units-per-1-mg figure by your own dose in milligrams to convert any amount. For vial sizes or doses not shown here, use the general mg to units converter.

Frequently asked questions
What happened to ipamorelin in clinical development?
Ipamorelin is a legacy growth hormone secretagogue that was investigated but never brought to market. A postoperative-ileus trial evaluated it at 0.03 mg/kg intravenously twice daily, and that study did not meet its primary endpoint (PMID 25331030). It is investigational and discontinued, with no FDA approval for any use. This tool only performs reconstitution arithmetic and does not endorse taking it.
The only published number is 0.03 mg/kg IV — can this calculator turn that into a subcutaneous plan?
No. That figure comes from an intravenous, twice-daily hospital trial that failed its primary endpoint, so it was never validated as a weight-based subcutaneous regimen. There is no established SC self-use dose for ipamorelin. The calculator converts a milligram amount you enter into U-100 syringe units; it cannot supply or bless a route, frequency, or per-kg amount that has never been established for at-home injection.
Which vial sizes can I enter for ipamorelin here?
Ipamorelin has commonly been supplied as a powder for reconstitution in 5 mg and 10 mg vials, so those are the amounts this tool is built around. You enter the vial’s total milligrams and your bacteriostatic water volume, and it returns the concentration and the U-100 mark for the milligram figure you type. It never assumes a dose for you, because no self-use dose is established.
Does this tool recommend an ipamorelin dose or provide medical guidance?
No. It is a unit-conversion calculator, not medical advice. For an investigational, discontinued peptide like ipamorelin there is no approved or established self-administration dose, so we do not suggest one — the tool only does the mg-to-units arithmetic for a number you supply. Any decision about using ipamorelin should be reviewed with a licensed clinician who knows your history.
How is ipamorelin different from cjc-1295, and which would I even compare it to?
Ipamorelin is commonly described as a short-acting ghrelin-receptor secretagogue, while CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog often built with a DAC for a much longer half-life, so they act on different receptors and timelines. Neither is FDA-approved. For a side-by-side of the two, see /compare/cjc-1295-vs-ipamorelin; this calculator handles only the reconstitution math once you already know the milligram figure you plan to measure.
