Quick math example
A 10 mg blended vial mixed with 2 mL gives 5,000 mcg/mL of total peptide. A 250 mcg dose is 0.05 mL, or 5 units on a U-100 syringe.
Reconstitution reference
U100 units to draw for each common CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin dose, by vial size, reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Change the water volume in the calculator above to recompute for your own setup.
| Vial | Concentration | 200 mcg | 250 mcg | 300 mcg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 5 mg/mL | 4 u(0.04 mL) | 5 u(0.05 mL) | 6 u(0.06 mL) |
Educational reference only — not a dose recommendation. Units assume a U100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL on U-100). Always confirm against your own vial, diluent, and clinician or pharmacy instructions.
How the blend calculation works
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are often sold pre-blended in a single vial, with the label listing the total milligram amount across both compounds. Concentration math uses that total figure.
Once concentration is known, the draw volume for any target dose is straightforward division.
- 10 mg blend = 10,000 mcg total
- 10,000 mcg / 2 mL = 5,000 mcg per mL
- 250 mcg target = 0.05 mL draw
10 mg blend with 2 mL example
A common blend is labelled 5 mg CJC-1295 + 5 mg Ipamorelin, a 10 mg total. Mixed with 2 mL that gives 5,000 mcg/mL of combined peptide.
A 250 mcg combined dose is 0.05 mL, or 5 units on a U-100 syringe. Because the draw is so small, a U-100 insulin syringe makes the 5-unit mark much easier to hit accurately.
- 5 mg + 5 mg = 10 mg total = 10,000 mcg
- 10,000 mcg / 2 mL = 5,000 mcg per mL
- 250 mcg / 5,000 mcg per mL = 0.05 mL = 5 U-100 units
Same blend with 3 mL for an easier draw
If a 5-unit draw feels too small to measure, add more water. The same 10 mg blend in 3 mL gives about 3,333 mcg/mL.
Now a 250 mcg dose is 0.075 mL, which rounds to roughly 7-8 units — a slightly larger, easier-to-read draw for the identical dose.
- 10 mg / 3 mL = 3,333 mcg/mL
- 250 mcg / 3,333 mcg per mL = 0.075 mL
- More water trades a smaller draw for an easier-to-read one
Note on labelled ratios
Blended vials are typically labelled as a 1:1 ratio of CJC-1295 to Ipamorelin, but check your specific label. The calculator works on the total peptide mass; if your protocol calls for a specific component dose, work from the labelled ratio first.
