# CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin: units to draw, nightly timing and cycles > CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin reconstitution calculator (blend vial + water + mcg -> units), daily schedule, 5-on/2-off cycles and site rotation. Track it in Peppy. Source: https://peppytracker.com/compounds/cjc-1295-ipamorelin/ Last updated: 2026-08-30 CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is a blend of a GHRH analog (CJC-1295 without DAC) and the ghrelin-receptor agonist Ipamorelin, which act on different pituitary pathways for a stronger, still pulsatile GH release. The Peppy catalog lists it as a reconstituted vial dosed in mcg, typically daily, half-life about 2 hours. Peppy handles the units, the nightly reminder and the cycle calendar. ## Tracking CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin: what matters The blend adds one wrinkle to the usual vial math: the label. A CJC-1295 Ipamorelin reconstitution calculator needs the total peptide in the vial, and blend vials are labelled in different ways, sometimes "5 mg / 5 mg", sometimes "10 mg". Enter the total. With 10 mg and 2 mL of water the concentration is 5,000 mcg per mL, so a 200 mcg shot is 4 units. That is a tiny draw; many people add more water so the line is easier to read, and Peppy recalculates instantly when you change the volume. See [units to draw](https://peppytracker.com/guides/peptide-reconstitution-units-to-draw/) for the reasoning. Because the doses are small, one vial covers weeks. Inventory (Pro) counts the doses left and shows a run-out date, and a note on the protocol is where people record the mix date. Timing matters more here than for most vials. The catalog describes a pulsatile release, and what people track is a consistent bedtime shot. A fixed time on the protocol gives you the Today countdown, the reminder (Pro) and the Next Shot widget (Pro) all pointing at the same minute each night. ## Schedule and cycles The Peppy catalog lists CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin as daily, with a dose ladder of 100, 200 and 300 mcg (catalog listing, not a recommendation). Two patterns dominate what users log: every night, and five nights on with the weekend off. Cycles (Pro) handle the second by auto-skipping the off days so the calendar never marks them missed. Longer cycles such as 8 weeks on and 4 off work the same way, and the [cycle tracker guide](https://peppytracker.com/guides/peptide-cycle-tracker/) shows how pause and resume behave. Which pattern you follow is between you and your prescriber. The listed half-life of about 2 hours means the "active in your system" curve is a nightly spike. Peppy computes it from the catalog number; it is an estimate, not a measurement. ## How to do this in Peppy 1. In **Protocols**, tap **+** and search "CJC" or "Ipa". Pick **CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin** so the whole shot is one protocol. 2. Enter your dose in mcg. In the inline **Calculator**, type the vial's total mg and the water you add. Peppy shows the units and warns about draws that will not fit a 1 mL syringe. 3. Set the bedtime and turn on **Cycles** (Pro) for 5-on/2-off or a longer block. 4. Add vials in **Inventory** (Pro) for the running-low alert. 5. Log the shot from **Today**, tapping the highlighted site on the body map. Sleep and energy are tracked feelings in the daily **check-in**; Progress (Pro) lines them up with your shots. The [CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin tracker page](https://peppytracker.com/trackers/cjc-1295-ipamorelin-tracker/) covers the nightly routine in more detail; see [CJC-1295 with DAC](https://peppytracker.com/compounds/cjc-1295-with-dac/) if your vial is the weekly version. ## Frequently asked ### How many units is 200 mcg of CJC-1295 Ipamorelin? Use the total peptide printed on the blend vial. Example: a 10 mg blend vial (5 mg of each) mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5,000 mcg per mL, so 200 mcg is 0.04 mL, or **4 units**; 300 mcg is 6 units. With 1 mL of water, 200 mcg is 2 units. Check the label, use Peppy's [calculator](https://peppytracker.com/calculator/), and verify with your prescriber. ### How often is CJC-1295 Ipamorelin typically scheduled? The Peppy catalog lists the blend as a daily shot; many people log it at bedtime, and 5-on/2-off weeks are a common cycle pattern in what users track. Peppy's daily schedule and cycles (Pro) cover both. What applies to you is your prescriber's call. ### What is the half-life of CJC-1295 Ipamorelin? The Peppy catalog lists about 2 hours for the blend, matching the 2-hour terminal half-life reported for ipamorelin in a 1999 human study. CJC-1295 without DAC is listed even shorter. The blend's "active in your system" chart is an estimate from the catalog number. ### Where do you inject CJC-1295 Ipamorelin? Subcutaneous sites, most often the abdomen or thighs. A nightly shot benefits from a rotation plan; Peppy's body map suggests the next site and shows "last used 3 days ago". See the [rotation guide](https://peppytracker.com/guides/injection-site-rotation/). ### Should I log the blend as one protocol or two? If both peptides come in one vial and go in one shot, log it as the single catalog entry CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin. If you mix two separate vials, log two protocols (two active protocols is Pro); Peppy still rotates sites across both. ### How many units is 200 mcg of CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin? It depends on how the vial was mixed. Example: a 10 mg vial plus 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5 mg/mL, so 200 mcg is 0.04 mL, or **4 units** on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change the water and the units change. Use the calculator above with your own vial, and verify with your prescriber. ### How long does CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin stay in your system? The Peppy catalog lists a half-life of about 2 hours for CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin. After roughly five half-lives, about 10 hours, most of a single dose has cleared. That is an estimate from the half-life, not a measurement, and individual clearance varies. ### Can I track CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin in Peppy? Yes. CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is one of 123 compounds built into Peppy, with its form, unit and typical frequency prefilled. Add it as a protocol, set your schedule, and Peppy handles the countdown, the log and the reminders (Pro). ### Where should I inject CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin? Follow your prescriber's instructions. For subcutaneous shots the GLP-1 labels list the abdomen, thigh and upper arm and say to rotate. Peppy's body map has 13 sites, suggests the next one, and shows when each was last used. Read the [site rotation guide](https://peppytracker.com/guides/injection-site-rotation/). --- Peppy is a tracking tool, not medical advice. Dose calculations are mathematical conversions only.
