CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin reconstitution calculator
GHRH + secretagogue combo. Stimulates pulsatile growth hormone release. The 0.5 h half-life reflects the no-DAC ('Mod GRF 1-29') CJC-1295 component (Frohman, J Clin Invest 1986); Ipamorelin itself runs ~2 h (Gobburu, Pharm Res 1999). The DAC variant of CJC-1295 has a half-life of ~6–8 days but is not in this combo. Studied for GH output, sleep quality, and recovery.

Frequently asked questions
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin?
For a 2mg vial of CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin, add 2ml of bacteriostatic water. This concentration works well with a standard insulin syringe.
What is the typical CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin dosage?
Typical research dosages for CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin range from 200 to 300 mcg, administered 1x daily before bed.
How long does reconstituted CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin last?
Reconstituted CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin should be stored at 2-8°C refrigerated and used within 21 days. Unreconstituted vials can be stored for up to 24 months.
How do I calculate my CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin dose?
Divide your target dose by the concentration to get the volume, then multiply by 100 for units on a U-100 insulin syringe. For example, a 2mg vial in 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 1000 mcg/ml. The calculator above does this automatically once you enter your vial size, water volume, and desired dose.
How many units of CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin should I draw on an insulin syringe?
On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 unit equals 0.01 ml regardless of the barrel size (0.3ml, 0.5ml, or 1ml). Enter your reconstitution details in the calculator to see the exact number of units to draw for your dose.
