Ipamorelin tracker
for iPhone.

Ipamorelin is the cleanest of the GHRPs — a short-acting pituitary nudge without the cortisol or prolactin baggage that older GHRPs carried. The protocol is small: 200–300 µg, nightly, into a rotating site. The variability is in whether you stack it with CJC-1295 or Tesamorelin and whether you cycle. Peptide Protocol holds the timing, the math, and the rotation; you just open it once a day.

Ipamorelin at a glance

Quick reference for the protocol-builder. Ipamorelin is often co-vialled with CJC-1295 — see the dedicated blend page for that workflow.

ClassPentapeptide GHRP (growth hormone releasing peptide) / ghrelin mimetic
Brand namesNone — research peptide; not FDA-approved for any human indication
Plasma half-life~2 hours
Typical cadenceNightly before bed; some protocols add a pre-workout dose for a 2× daily pattern
Typical dose range200–300 µg per injection; advanced users sometimes go 400–500 µg
Common reconstitution5 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water → 2.5 mg/mL → 0.10 mL = 250 µg dose
Insulin syringeU-100 most common (10 units = 0.10 mL = 250 µg at 2.5 mg/mL)
Common stack pairingsCJC-1295 (GHRH amplification, additive pulse), Tesamorelin (alternative GHRH), MK-677 (oral)
Cycle length8–12 weeks on, 4 weeks off is the most cited pattern; receptor desensitization is a debated concern

Built around Ipamorelin protocols

Three things nightly GH-axis protocols actually need.

Pre-bed reminder window

The biology cares about timing — Ipamorelin works best 2–3 hours after the last meal. Set the reminder for that window. The Today screen and home-screen widget keep the next dose visible all evening.

Vial-aware math

Different vendors ship 2 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg vials. The calculator handles all three with sensible BAC water defaults and instantly outputs the unit count. When you switch vials mid-cycle, the math follows.

Easy upgrade to a CJC blend

If you start solo Ipamorelin and decide to add CJC-1295 later, edit the protocol to a blend. The app keeps your dose history continuous and the calculator switches to blend mode automatically.

Ipamorelin tracking — common questions

Does Peptide Protocol have an Ipamorelin preset?

Yes. Ipamorelin is a calculator preset at common 5 mg vial strengths. Enter the BAC water volume, set your target dose in mcg, and the app shows the unit count for U-100, U-50, or U-30 syringes — typically 5–7 units on a U-100 for a 250 µg dose at standard reconstitution.

How is Ipamorelin different from CJC-1295?

Ipamorelin is a GHRP / ghrelin mimetic — it triggers a GH pulse from the pituitary. CJC-1295 is a GHRH analog — it amplifies and extends pulses. They work on different receptors and produce additive GH release when combined. Ipamorelin is sometimes run alone for a cleaner short-acting pulse without the prolactin / cortisol spikes other GHRPs can produce.

Can I run Ipamorelin alone in the app?

Yes. Build it as a single-peptide protocol: 200–300 µg nightly before bed, with optional pre-workout doses if your protocol calls for that. The Today screen surfaces the next dose, the calculator handles the math, the rotation map manages site cooldowns. You can later upgrade to a CJC + Ipa blend by editing the protocol.
