📌At a Glance: BPC-157 & TB-500 Blend Reconstitution Arithmetic
- Blend Components: Co-lyophilized combination of pentadecapeptide BPC-157 and actin-sequestering analogue TB-500.
- The Shared-Volume Law: Adding liquid diluent dilutes both compounds equally across the total volume; you cannot alter the ratio between components after reconstitution.
- Measurement Resolution: On a standard U-100 syringe (100 units = 1.0 mL), each unit delivers 0.01 mL of solution containing exact fixed fractions of both peptides.
- Multi-Component Vials: Multi-peptide formulations with three or more active compounds (such as the Klow blend calculator) follow the identical component concentration arithmetic.
Neither BPC-157 nor TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4 fragment) is an FDA-approved human drug. In late 2023, the FDA placed BPC-157 on the Category 2 Bulk Drug Substances list under 503A compounding due to potential immunogenicity and lack of safety data. Both compounds are prohibited at all times (in-competition and out-of-competition) by WADA under Section S2 (Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors, Related Substances, and Mimetics).
- A therapeutic protocol, injury recovery cycle, or human administration guideline.
- Whether co-lyophilized mixtures are suitable for human clinical use (neither agent has received FDA human drug approval).
- How to independently administer one compound without delivering the exact proportional amount of the other from a pre-mixed vial.
- Legality or compliance within sanctioned athletic competitions (both substances are prohibited by WADA).

What Is the BPC-157 & TB-500 Blend?
Co-lyophilizing BPC-157 and TB-500 simplifies laboratory protocols by eliminating the need to reconstitute and draw two separate vials. Reconstituting this blend with our peptide calculator and sterile bacteriostatic water ensures fixed proportional delivery of both compounds with every syringe draw.
BPC-157 & TB-500 Blend Dosage Chart
In a 10 mg total blend vial containing 5 mg BPC-157 and 5 mg TB-500 (1:1 ratio), adding 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water creates a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL per compound. A 10 unit draw on a U-100 syringe delivers 250 mcg of BPC-157 and 250 mcg of TB-500 simultaneously.
| Vial Size | Bac Water Added | Concentration | Example Amount | Draw Units (U-100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg Total (5/5) | 2.0 mL | 2.5 mg/mL each | 250 mcg BPC / 250 mcg TB | 10.0 Units |
| 10 mg Total (5/5) | 2.0 mL | 2.5 mg/mL each | 500 mcg BPC / 500 mcg TB | 20.0 Units |
| 20 mg Total (10/10) | 4.0 mL | 2.5 mg/mL each | 250 mcg BPC / 250 mcg TB | 10.0 Units |
| 15 mg Total (10/5) | 3.0 mL | 3.33/1.67 mg/mL | 500 mcg BPC / 250 mcg TB | 15.0 Units |
BPC-157 & TB-500 Blend Reconstitution Reference Matrix
The deterministic matrix below displays component concentrations and microgram resolution per U-100 syringe mark across standard blend vial configurations (5 + 5 mg and 10 + 10 mg) with 1.0 mL, 2.0 mL, and 3.0 mL of bacteriostatic water. For single-agent calculations or other tissue research peptides, see BPC-157 calculator, TB-500 calculator, GHK-Cu calculator, and for three or more co-lyophilized components, vials with three or more components work the same way. For individual diluent volume standards, see the BPC-157 bacteriostatic water guide.
| Vial Composition | Bac Water Added | Each Component Conc. | Total Peptide Conc. | Per U-100 Mark (0.01 mL) | Draw for 250/250 mcg Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg + 5 mg (10 mg total) | 1.0 mL | 5.0 mg/mL (5,000 mcg/mL) | 10.0 mg/mL | 50 mcg each component | 5.0 units (0.05 mL) |
| 5 mg + 5 mg (10 mg total) | 2.0 mL | 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL) | 5.0 mg/mL | 25 mcg each component | 10.0 units (0.10 mL) |
| 5 mg + 5 mg (10 mg total) | 3.0 mL | 1.67 mg/mL (1,667 mcg/mL) | 3.33 mg/mL | 16.7 mcg each component | 15.0 units (0.15 mL) |
| 10 mg + 10 mg (20 mg total) | 1.0 mL | 10.0 mg/mL (10,000 mcg/mL) | 20.0 mg/mL | 100 mcg each component | 2.5 units (0.025 mL) |
| 10 mg + 10 mg (20 mg total) | 2.0 mL | 5.0 mg/mL (5,000 mcg/mL) | 10.0 mg/mL | 50 mcg each component | 5.0 units (0.05 mL) |
| 10 mg + 10 mg (20 mg total) | 3.0 mL | 3.33 mg/mL (3,333 mcg/mL) | 6.67 mg/mL | 33.3 mcg each component | 7.5 units (0.075 mL) |
Worked Dual-Component Arithmetic: 5 mg + 5 mg Vial with 2.0 mL Diluent
- Co-lyophilized vial: 5 mg BPC-157 + 5 mg TB-500 (10 mg combined active peptide mass)
- Diluent volume: 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water
- Target research quantity: 250 mcg (0.25 mg) of each peptide
- Syringe standard: U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1.0 mL = 0.01 mL per unit)
- Calculate individual component concentration: 5 mg BPC-157 ÷ 2.0 mL = 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL) and 5 mg TB-500 ÷ 2.0 mL = 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL).
- Calculate microgram delivery per syringe unit mark: 2,500 mcg/mL ÷ 100 units/mL = 25 mcg per U-100 unit mark for each compound.
- Calculate draw volume required for 250 mcg: 250 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/mL = 0.10 mL.
- Convert volume to syringe markings: 0.10 mL × 100 units/mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe barrel.
- Deterministic reverse back-check: 10 units × 25 mcg/unit = 250 mcg BPC-157 and 10 units × 25 mcg/unit = 250 mcg TB-500 (0.10 mL × 2.5 mg/mL = 0.25 mg each), confirming exact mathematical agreement.
Draw exactly 10 units (0.10 mL) on a standard U-100 insulin syringe to deliver 250 mcg BPC-157 and 250 mcg TB-500 simultaneously.
Note: Arithmetic verification: 10 units delivers 0.25 mg of each compound. On a 0.3 mL (30-unit) syringe barrel, a 10-unit draw offers high volumetric readability.
