What is the standard BPC-157 dosage?

The standard research dosage for BPC-157 is 250-500 mcg per injection, administered 1-2 times daily. Most researchers use 250 mcg twice daily for a total of 500 mcg per day.

How do I reconstitute BPC-157?

Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5mg vial of BPC-157. This creates a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL (or 25 mcg per unit on a 100-unit insulin syringe).

How many units of BPC-157 should I draw?

With a 5mg vial reconstituted with 2mL of bacteriostatic water using a 100-unit syringe: draw 10 units for 250mcg, or 20 units for 500mcg.

How long does a BPC-157 cycle last?

A typical BPC-157 research cycle is 4-12 weeks. Many researchers run 4-6 week cycles with 2-4 weeks off between cycles.

Where should BPC-157 be injected?

BPC-157 is typically injected subcutaneously near the site of injury. For gut-related research, it is injected into the abdominal fat. Always use a sterile insulin syringe.

How many doses are in a 5mg vial of BPC-157?

A 5mg vial contains 5,000 mcg. At 250 mcg per dose, that is 20 doses. At 500 mcg per dose, that is 10 doses.

Quick Reference: 5mg Vial + 2mL BAC Water

Desired Dose	Units (100u syringe)	Units (50u syringe)	mL to Draw
100 mcg	4 units	2 units	0.04 mL
200 mcg	8 units	4 units	0.08 mL
250 mcg	10 units	5 units	0.10 mL
500 mcg	20 units	10 units	0.20 mL

How to reconstitute BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It has been extensively studied for its regenerative and healing properties, with over 100 published research papers covering tendon repair, gut healing, and neuroprotection.

Step-by-Step Reconstitution

Step 1: Gather supplies — BPC-157 vial (typically 5mg), bacteriostatic water, insulin syringe, and alcohol swabs
Step 2: Clean the tops of both vials with alcohol swabs and let dry
Step 3: Draw 2mL of bacteriostatic water into the syringe
Step 4: Insert needle into BPC-157 vial at a slight angle
Step 5: Slowly inject water down the inside wall — never spray directly onto the powder
Step 6: Gently swirl (do not shake) until fully dissolved — should be clear
Step 7: Store in refrigerator (2-8°C). Use within 2-4 weeks

Storage & Stability

Unreconstituted (lyophilized) BPC-157 can be stored at room temperature for months, or frozen for years. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate and use within 14-28 days. Never freeze reconstituted peptides.

Injection Sites

BPC-157 is most commonly administered via subcutaneous injection. For localized injuries (tendons, muscles, joints), inject as close to the injury site as possible. For systemic or gut-related benefits, inject into abdominal fat. Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue irritation.
