Ipamorelin Dosing Protocol: 10 mg Vial — Extended Supply Dosing Guide

Multi-week ipamorelin supply from the 10 mg vial — ideal for patients on established 300 μg once-to-three-daily protocols.

Quickstart highlights

Ipamorelin's selectivity for GHSR-1a over ACTH and prolactin axes enables high-frequency dosing without the adrenal side effects of other GHRPs.

Concentration: 2 mg/mL (10 mg vial + 5 mL bacteriostatic water).

At 2 mg/mL: 200 μg = 10 units, 300 μg = 15 units per injection.

One 10 mg vial provides 33 doses at 300 μg or 11 days at 300 μg 3x daily.

Best for 2–3x daily protocols; reduces reconstitution frequency vs. 5 mg vials.

Refrigerate; use within 28 days.

Reconstitution steps

Draw 5 mL bacteriostatic water (two 2.5 mL draws from a 3 mL syringe); inject slowly down the vial wall.

Swirl gently until powder fully dissolves; do not shake.

Final concentration: 2 mg/mL. Label with date; refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Use within 28 days.

Protocol overview & cycle notes

Provide an extended multi-week supply of ipamorelin from the 10 mg vial for patients on high-frequency (2–3x daily) dosing protocols, optimizing cost and minimizing reconstitution events.

Cycle length: 12 weeks on.

Off-cycle: 4 weeks off; measure IGF-1 before restarting.

Storage & handling

Injection & tracking tips

For the 3x-daily protocol, inject 30–60 minutes pre-workout (mid-day or afternoon), once more in the morning, and once before bed.

Always inject in fasted state or 2+ hours post-meal.

The 10 mg vial is most efficient for patients at 300 μg 3x daily or higher — reduces reconstitution frequency versus the 5 mg vial.

Tracking

Logging helps you and your provider spot patterns and adjust dose or timing.

Measure IGF-1 at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks.

Track lean mass and body fat via body composition scale or DEXA every 8 weeks.

Log resting morning cortisol if using high-frequency dosing (3x daily) to confirm ipamorelin selectivity.
