Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin Reconstitution Calculator
Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin (Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin blend (approved GHRH analogue plus ghrelin mimetic)) is listed in the Growth Hormone category of The Longevity Archive; the database lists its half-life as "Not one number. Both components clear within hours, but not at the same rate, and neither has been measured in the presence of the other.". Enter what is on the Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin vial label, the bacteriostatic water you add, and the amount per draw you were given. You get the draw snapped to a real mark on your syringe, whether that is an insulin barrel in units or a 3 or 5 mL luer barrel in millilitres, the mixing steps, draws per vial and a printable label. The tool converts a number you already have; it never sets one. Read the Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin research profile for the evidence, mechanism and legal status.
What the blend label says
Two to four compounds and the amount of each printed on the label. The whole vial, not per mL.
Bacteriostatic water you add
One volume for the whole vial. It changes how much you draw, not the ratio between the compounds in it.
What drives the draw
Either the amount of one component you were given, or a unit count. Everything else follows from the label ratio.
Syringe
Insulin barrels are printed in units, where 100 units is 1 mL. Luer barrels are printed in millilitres. Pick the one in your hand.
Enter at least two labelled compounds, the water, and either one component amount or a unit count to see the result.
How the math works for Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin
Concentration equals the amount on the Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin vial label, converted to micrograms, divided by the water volume in milliliters. The volume you draw equals the amount you enter divided by that concentration. Multiplying that volume by 100 converts it to units on a U-100 insulin syringe, and the calculator rounds to the nearest mark your syringe can show. Draws per vial is the total in the vial divided by the amount per draw.
Frequently asked questions
What is in a Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin vial before reconstitution?
A lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The label states the total amount in the vial, for example a number of mg, not a concentration per mL. Concentration only exists after bacteriostatic water is added: the label amount divided by the water volume. The calculator does that division and then converts the amount you enter into a syringe volume.
How do syringe units work for Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin?
Insulin syringes are marked in U-100 units, where 100 units equals 1 mL, on 0.3, 0.5 and 1 mL barrels. The calculator divides the Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin concentration by 100 to get the amount in each unit, then divides the amount you enter by that figure to get the mark to pull to. The result is rounded to the nearest readable mark on the syringe you choose: half-unit marks on 0.3 mL, 1-unit marks on 0.5 mL, 2-unit marks on 1 mL.
How long can reconstituted Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin be kept?
A multi-dose vial mixed with bacteriostatic water is commonly given a 28-day discard window, the USP 797 default, stored at 2 to 8 C and protected from light. Label the vial with the mix date and discard date; the calculator's print label does this. Cloudiness or floating particles mean the vial should not be used. Manufacturer or pharmacy labeling for Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin takes precedence over the default window.
