Complete evidence-based Ipamorelin dosing protocol for 2026. Updated reconstitution steps, injection guidance, and cycle protocols.
Common dose: 200–300 mcg | Frequency: 2–3x daily on empty stomach
Half-life: ~2 hours | Category: Growth Hormone
Injection sites: Subcutaneous, abdomen
Ipamorelin is the most selective and cleanest growth hormone secretagogue peptide — it stimulates pulsatile GH release without raising cortisol, prolactin, or other unwanted hormones. Each injection produces a sharp GH pulse lasting 2–3 hours that closely mimics natural patterns. The CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin combination is the most popular peptide stack for anti-aging and performance. Excellent safety profile makes it ideal for long-term use. Track your Ipamorelin injections and GH optimization protocol with the DoseIQ app.
Below are evidence-based Ipamorelin dosing protocols for different experience levels and goals. Always start at the lowest effective dose and assess tolerance before increasing.
Proper reconstitution is critical for accurate dosing. Follow these steps carefully:
Use this table to determine your exact injection volume based on vial size and BAC water amount:
| Vial Size | BAC Water | Concentration | Low Dose Vol | High Dose Vol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mg | 2 mL | 1,000 mcg/mL | 0.20 mL | 0.30 mL |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2,500 mcg/mL | 0.08 mL | 0.12 mL |
| 2 mg | 1 mL | 2,000 mcg/mL | 0.10 mL | 0.15 mL |
Recommended sites: Subcutaneous, abdomen
Rotate injection sites to prevent scar tissue buildup. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab before injecting. Use a 27-29 gauge insulin syringe for subcutaneous injections. Pinch the skin, insert needle at 45-90°, and inject slowly.
Lyophilized (powder) form: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Protect from light. Most peptides remain stable for 1–2 years unreconstituted.
Reconstituted solution: Refrigerate immediately after mixing. Use within 4 weeks typically. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides — this may damage the peptide structure.
