CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin Calculator
CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are the most commonly paired GH-axis research peptides, and they are usually supplied together in one vial. They act through different mechanisms — CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog, Ipamorelin is a ghrelin-mimetic secretagogue — which is why the pairing is studied together. This page shows what each delivers per draw and links into the blend calculator with the pairing pre-loaded.
Quick summary
- 2 components in one vial (CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin) — every draw delivers all of them.
- At 5 mg each in 2 mL, each component sits at 2.5 mg/mL (5 mg/mL total peptide).
- Educational research and measurement tool only — it does not diagnose, treat, or recommend an amount.
What is in a CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin vial
A common configuration, and the one the reference tables below assume. Confirm your own vial's milligrams before relying on any number here — the math changes with a different strength.
| Component | Amount in vial | Concentration at 2 mL |
|---|---|---|
| CJC-1295 | 5 mg | 2.5 mg/mL |
| Ipamorelin | 5 mg | 2.5 mg/mL |
What each draw delivers
Reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. On a U-100 syringe, 100 units = 1 mL. Every component is delivered together, in fixed proportion.
| Draw | Volume | Per component | Total peptide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 units | 0.04 mL | 100 mcg each | 0.2 mg total |
| 8 units | 0.08 mL | 200 mcg each | 0.4 mg total |
| 10 units | 0.10 mL | 250 mcg each | 0.5 mg total |
| 12 units | 0.12 mL | 300 mcg each | 0.6 mg total |
Check your vial strength first
This pairing ships in several strengths — 5 mg + 5 mg and 10 mg + 10 mg are both common, and some vials are not balanced at all. The reference table below assumes 5 mg of each in 2 mL. Enter your actual vial numbers in the calculator rather than assuming; the math changes completely with a different strength.
Two different mechanisms
CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog and Ipamorelin is a ghrelin-receptor secretagogue. They are paired because they act on the GH axis through separate routes. If you are working with a GHRH analog on its own, the Tesamorelin calculator covers that case.
CJC-1295 with and without DAC
CJC-1295 appears both with DAC (a drug affinity complex that extends its half-life substantially) and without it, sometimes labelled Mod GRF 1-29. They are handled very differently in research schedules, so confirm which version your vial contains — the reconstitution math is the same, but nothing else is.
Small draws need thought
At 2.5 mg/mL a 100 mcg target is only 4 units, which is hard to read accurately. Reconstituting with more water spreads the same amount over more units and improves readability.
CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin FAQ
How many units is 200 mcg of a CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin blend?
With 5 mg of each in 2 mL, both components sit at 2.5 mg/mL — so 200 mcg of each is 8 units (0.08 mL). If your vial is a different strength, the units change; enter your actual numbers in the calculator.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin?
CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog; Ipamorelin is a ghrelin-mimetic growth hormone secretagogue. They act on the growth-hormone axis through different receptors, which is why they are commonly studied as a pair.
What does DAC mean on a CJC-1295 label?
DAC stands for drug affinity complex, a modification that substantially extends the compound's half-life. CJC-1295 without DAC is sometimes sold as Mod GRF 1-29. Confirm which version your vial contains.
Can I separate the two components?
No. Once both peptides share a vial, every draw delivers both in fixed proportion. Separate vials are the only way to adjust one without the other.
