CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin Dosage: Why There Is No Established Dose

CJC-1295's nomination for the compounding bulks list was withdrawn by the nominator; FDA's stated concerns remain published. Ipamorelin acetate additionally remains in category 2 under 503B.

There is no dose to report

There is no FDA-labeled dose for either component, and the blend itself has never been evaluated as a product. Any ratio and dose you are quoted is a compounding-pharmacy formulation decision.

We would rather tell you this than publish a number. Pages that rank for “cjc-1295 / ipamorelin dosage” routinely state precise-looking figures with no citation attached to them. A number without a source is not more useful than an honest absence — it is less useful, because it looks like it came from somewhere.

Convert your prescribed dose to syringe units

If a clinician has prescribed CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin for you, the number that matters next is how far to draw the syringe — and that depends on how much bacteriostatic water went into the vial, not on the peptide itself.

What this does — and what it does not

This converts a dose your prescriber has already given you into a volume and a number of units on a U-100 insulin syringe. It does not suggest a dose, and it does not tell you whether a peptide is appropriate for you. Most research peptides have no FDA-approved dosing, so there is no “standard” number for us to fill in. Doses here are in micrograms (mcg) — confusing mcg with mg is a 1,000-fold error and the single most common way people get this wrong.
