BPC-157 Dosage Calculator

What Is BPC-157?

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic 15-amino-acid pentadecapeptide sequence (Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val) derived from human gastric juice protein. Extensive preclinical research highlights its role in accelerated musculoskeletal healing, tendon-to-bone repair, mucosal membrane protection, and VEGFR2-mediated angiogenesis.

Unlike larger growth factors, BPC-157 exhibits high stability in aqueous solution. It is frequently co-administered or stacked with TB-500 in cellular repair studies or evaluated as a pre-mixed combination in the BPC-157 & TB-500 Blend (commonly referred to as the Wolverine stack). BPC-157 has a brief systemic plasma half-life of approximately 4 hours, requiring daily research dosing. Using our peptide calculator with bacteriostatic water guarantees precise microgram measurements.

BPC-157 Dosage Chart

BPC-157 is routinely dosed in micrograms (250 mcg to 500 mcg). Reconstituting a 5 mg vial with 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water creates a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL, where each 10 units on a U-100 syringe equals exactly 250 mcg of active compound.

How to Reconstitute BPC-157

Reconstituting BPC-157 requires aseptic laboratory technique to prevent bacterial growth during multi-week daily research protocols.

5 Standard Reconstitution Steps for BPC-157

Sanitize the stoppers of both the BPC-157 vial and bacteriostatic water vial with 70% isopropyl alcohol pads.
Draw 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile mixing syringe.
Incline the vial and inject water slowly down the interior glass wall.
Swirl gently between fingers until the lyophilized powder dissolves completely. Do not shake.
Store reconstituted BPC-157 solution in a refrigerator at 2°C–8°C.

❄️ Storage & Shelf-Life Notice (BPC-157)

Reconstituted BPC-157 prepared with 0.9% benzyl alcohol bacteriostatic water remains potent for 28–30 days under refrigeration (2°C–8°C). Un-reconstituted lyophilized powder can be stored frozen at -20°C for up to 24 months.

⚠️ Common Preparation Mistakes to Avoid

Shaking the vial causing excessive foaming, using unpreserved sterile water that lacks antimicrobial protection, and storing reconstituted liquid at room temperature leading to enzymatic hydrolysis.

BPC-157 Dosing FAQ

How much bac water do I add to 5mg BPC-157?↓

Adding 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water to 5 mg BPC-157 creates a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL). A 250 mcg dose equals 10 units on a U-100 syringe.

How many units is 500 mcg BPC-157 on a 5mg vial?↓

When reconstituted with 2.0 mL of water, 500 mcg BPC-157 equals 20 units (0.20 mL) on a U-100 syringe.

What is the half-life of BPC-157?↓

BPC-157 has a systemic plasma half-life of roughly 4 hours, which is why research studies typically administer daily or bi-daily micro-doses.

Can BPC-157 be mixed with TB-500 in the same syringe?↓

Yes, in research settings BPC-157 and TB-500 are frequently drawn into the same syringe prior to administration or studied using co-lyophilized blend vials.

What is the Wolverine stack?↓

The "Wolverine stack" is the popular research name for combining BPC-157 and TB-500, leveraging their dual systemic and localized tissue repair mechanisms.
