Ipamorelin Dosage Chart & Schedule
A selective ghrelin-receptor agonist studied for stimulating growth-hormone release with comparatively little effect on cortisol or prolactin, making it a frequently referenced 'clean' secretagogue.
Research references commonly cite ~100-300 mcg per dose, 1-3x daily (often near sleep and/or post-workout), frequently paired with a GHRH analog. A reported research convention, not a proven human dose.

Dosage protocols
Commonly referenced research tiers. Start conservative; every compound and study context differs.
- Frequency
- Once daily (pre-sleep)
- Weekly total
- 0.7 mg
- Cycle
- 8-12 weeks, then reassess
A conservative single nightly dose referenced while gauging response.
- Frequency
- 2x daily
- Weekly total
- 2.8-4.2 mg
- Cycle
- 8-12 weeks, then reassess
The most commonly referenced pattern, often timed pre-sleep and post-workout and paired with a GHRH analog.
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Weekly total
- 1.4 mg
- Cycle
- Ongoing reference after an initial block
A single daily dose referenced to sustain rather than build response.
Selective GH release
- Ipamorelin is referenced as a comparatively clean secretagogue, with little effect on cortisol or prolactin relative to older GHRPs.
- This selectivity is why it is a frequently referenced ghrelin-receptor agonist; it is not established in humans.
Often paired with a GHRH analog
- Commonly referenced alongside CJC-1295 or sermorelin because the two receptor pathways combine for a larger GH pulse.
- Timing near sleep aligns with the natural nighttime GH release. This is a research convention.

Dosing is only as good as the vial. Ipamorelin is third-party tested with published COAs from our top-rated source — reconstitute with confidence and skip the guesswork on identity and purity.
Weekly schedule

Ipamorelin reconstitution
Based on a standard 5 mg vial: with 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 2,500 mcg/mL (2.5 mg/mL); 1 unit ≈ 25 mcg.
From vial to injection in 6 steps
Wipe both vial tops
Swab the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic-water vial with fresh alcohol and let them dry.
Draw the water
Pull the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (2 mL) into the syringe.
Add it slowly
Run the water down the inside wall of the vial — don't blast the powder. Swirl gently; never shake.
Let it dissolve
Wait until the solution is fully clear, then refrigerate the vial.
Draw your dose
Pull the calculated units on a U-100 insulin syringe (~12 units for 300 mcg).
Store between uses
Keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated and use within its stable window.
Handling & storage
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (2 mL into a 5 mg vial = 2500 mcg/mL)
- Refrigerate reconstituted; keep the lyophilized powder cool and dark
- A 300 mcg dose draws to ~12 units on a U-100 insulin syringe
Ipamorelin dosing FAQ
How much ipamorelin per day?
Research references commonly cite ~100-300 mcg per dose, 1-3x daily, or roughly 0.7-4 mg/week. Not established in humans.
How is ipamorelin reconstituted?
With bacteriostatic water. For example, 2 mL into a 5 mg vial = 2500 mcg/mL, so a 300 mcg dose is about 12 units on a U-100 syringe.
When is ipamorelin injected?
Research protocols often reference dosing on an empty stomach and near sleep to align with natural GH pulses; a post-workout dose is also referenced.
Is ipamorelin used with CJC-1295?
The two are frequently referenced together because a GHRP and a GHRH analog act on different receptors for a larger combined GH pulse.
