How to reconstitute CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
The most common CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin vial is a 10 mg blend: 5 mg of CJC-1295 without DAC (also sold as MOD-GRF 1-29) and 5 mg of Ipamorelin. Because the two are mixed 1 to 1, every amount you draw is half of each.
- 10 mg (5/5) vial: add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water. That makes 3.33 mg/mL, so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 33.3 mcg, and 400 mcg is 12 units.

Step by step
The same steps as the video, in writing.
- Check the label.
The vial says how much powder is in it: 10 mg (5/5). For a blend, the label gives the total and the split: CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin.
- Draw the water.
Use bacteriostatic water: 3 mL for the 10 mg (5/5) vial. If it's more than 1 mL, a 3 mL syringe does it in one draw.
- Add it slowly.
Let the water run down the inside wall of the vial, then swirl gently until the powder has dissolved. Don't shake it.
- Write the strength on the vial.
For the 10 mg (5/5) vial that's 3.33 mg/mL, or 33.3 mcg per unit, plus the date you mixed it.
- Find your amount.
Read the units from the chart, or put your own numbers in the calculator. Then check it backwards: units × mcg per unit should give the amount you wanted.

Questions
How much bacteriostatic water do you add to a 10 mg (5/5) CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin vial?
In the Reconstitution Insights video, Matthew adds 3 mL. That makes 3.33 mg/mL, so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 33.3 mcg. You can use more or less water: the amount of peptide in the vial stays the same, only what each unit holds changes. The calculator works it out for any amount.
How many units do I draw for an amount of CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin?
Divide the amount you want (in mcg) by what one unit holds. For example, 400 mcg from the 10 mg (5/5) vial mixed with 3 mL is 12 units (0.12 mL). The chart above lists the other amounts.
What is a unit on an insulin syringe?
U-100 insulin syringes are marked in units: 100 units is 1 mL, so 1 unit is 0.01 mL whatever the size of the syringe. A 0.3 mL syringe holds 30 units and a 0.5 mL syringe holds 50.
