CJC-1295 / ipamorelin 10 mg reconstitution calculator
How much bac water for CJC-1295 / ipamorelin 10 mg?
There’s no single right amount: the water sets the strength, not how much CJC-1295 / ipamorelin is in the vial, so use the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions. For example, 1 mL makes 10 mg/mL and 2 mL makes 5 mg/mL; the table below shows what each volume means on a U-100 syringe.

What each volume makes
| Water | Strength | Each unit | 1 mg is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 100 mcg | 10 units |
| 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 50 mcg | 20 units |
| 2.5 mL | 4 mg/mL | 40 mcg | 25 units |
Examples; use the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions. Units are on a U-100 syringe: 100 units = 1 mL.
About the 10 mg vial
Check whether 10 mg is the total or per peptide
On a blend vial, the 10 mg on the front may be the combined total of CJC-1295 and ipamorelin, not 10 mg of each, so check how your label lists it. This page works with one number for the whole vial, so its figures are for both peptides together: with 2 mL, each unit holds 50 mcg in total. How much of that is each peptide depends on the split printed on your label; with an even split, half of every unit is each one. To see each peptide separately, or if your label gives a separate mg for each, enter them in the blend calculator. If your vial holds ipamorelin alone, the figures here apply as they are.
Twice the strength of the 5 mg vial at the same water
The same water makes this vial twice as concentrated as the 5 mg vial. With 2 mL, the 10 mg vial is 5 mg/mL (50 mcg per unit) and the 5 mg vial is 2.5 mg/mL (25 mcg per unit), so the same syringe reading holds twice as much. Units worked out for one vial size don’t carry over to the other: recalculate whenever the vial size or the water changes. Equal strengths take twice the water: 10 mg in 2 mL and 5 mg in 1 mL are both 5 mg/mL.
No official label backs these numbers
There is no FDA-approved label for this blend, so nothing official sets the water volume, the total or the split, and the mg printed on the vial hasn’t been checked by a regulator (see the status below). The FDA’s page on bulk substances that may present significant safety risks in compounding covers both CJC-1295 and ipamorelin, noting possible peptide-related impurities and, for CJC-1295, serious adverse events including increased heart rate (FDA). A 2026 review also points to uncertainty about product composition in unregulated supply chains (Dominikowski et al., 2026). The calculator can only work from what your label says, so ask a pharmacist before mixing.

About CJC-1295 / ipamorelin
US regulatory status
Not approved for human use in the US
Neither peptide is approved by the FDA for any use, and no FDA-approved product contains either one, alone or blended. The FDA has cited serious adverse events with CJC-1295, including increased heart rate and a systemic vasodilatory reaction; the nomination to allow it in compounding was withdrawn, and it is on no list that permits compounding. Ipamorelin is in category 2 (significant safety risks) for outsourcing facilities (503B), and its 503A nomination was withdrawn. WADA prohibits both at all times.

How this CJC-1295 / ipamorelin calculator works
This calculator starts from the 10 mg in your vial. Add the water you mix it with and the dose your prescriber gave you; it divides the mg by the mL to get the strength, then turns your dose into mL and units on a 30, 50 or 100-unit syringe.
Peptinote never suggests a dose or a water volume. The example volumes are there to make the math easy to check, not as advice. For the full method, see the peptide calculator.
Questions people ask
How much bac water for CJC-1295 / ipamorelin 10 mg?
There’s no single right amount: use the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions. The water only sets the strength; the vial still holds 10 mg however much you add. With 1 mL it’s 10 mg/mL (100 mcg per unit), with 2 mL 5 mg/mL (50 mcg per unit) and with 2.5 mL 4 mg/mL (40 mcg per unit). Enter your volume and prescribed dose above to get the units. This product isn’t FDA-approved, so no official label sets a water volume and its contents aren’t verified.
How do I reconstitute CJC-1295 / ipamorelin 10 mg?
Wipe both stoppers with alcohol and let them dry. Draw the volume of bacteriostatic water your pharmacy specifies into a new syringe, add it slowly down the inside of the vial, then swirl gently until clear; don’t shake. Label it with the strength: 10 mg in 1 mL is 10 mg/mL. Full steps: how to reconstitute peptides.
What are the steps to reconstitute ipamorelin 10 mg?
Mixing your CJC-1295 / ipamorelin 10 mg vial takes the bacteriostatic water your pharmacy specifies and a new sterile syringe. Add the water slowly against the glass and swirl, never shake, until the liquid is clear. If it stays cloudy or has particles, don’t use it; call your pharmacy. Then write the strength and date on the vial and store it as the label says (how to store peptides).
How much bacteriostatic water goes into a 10 mg CJC-1295 / ipamorelin vial?
Whatever volume you add, only the strength changes; the vial still holds 10 mg. More water spreads it out, so each unit holds less and the same dose takes more units: easier to measure, but more liquid to inject. Going from 1 mL to 2.5 mL takes each unit from 100 mcg to 40 mcg. Check the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions first. This product isn’t FDA-approved, so no official label sets a water volume and its contents aren’t verified.
Can Peptinote tell me how many units to take?
No. Peptinote never suggests a dose. Enter the dose your prescriber gave you, and the calculator shows how to measure it: the units, the mL and where the line sits on your syringe, with every step of the math. If you aren’t sure what your dose is, ask your prescriber or pharmacist before drawing anything. How our calculator works.
