Reconstitution and concentration

Concentration in mcg/mL equals vial milligrams multiplied by 1000, divided by the millilitres of bacteriostatic water added. Volume per dose in mL equals the target dose in mcg divided by that concentration. On a U-100 insulin syringe, multiply the volume in mL by 100 to read the units.

Frequently asked questions

What is a typical BPC-157 dosage?

Published protocol literature for BPC-157 generally describes 250 – 500 mcg, administered daily to 2× daily. Individual protocols vary and should be set by a licensed practitioner.

How often is BPC-157 dosed?

Daily to 2× daily. Frequency is driven by half-life — BPC-157 has a reported half-life of approximately 4 hours (subcutaneous, animal models), so shorter-acting compounds are dosed more often.

How long is a BPC-157 cycle?

Typical cycle length reported is 4–8 weeks acute; 2 weeks/month maintenance. Cycling exists to limit receptor desensitisation and to create assessment windows, not as a fixed rule.

How do you reconstitute BPC-157?

2mg → 1ml bacteriostatic water; 5mg → 1ml bacteriostatic water; 10mg → 2ml bacteriostatic water. Concentration in mcg/mL equals vial milligrams times 1000 divided by millilitres of bacteriostatic water.

What is BPC-157 used for in research?

BPC-157 is studied primarily for soft-tissue healing, tendon and ligament repair, and gastrointestinal protection in animal models.

Is BPC-157 FDA-approved?

No. BPC-157 is not approved by the FDA for any human use and is sold for research, investigational, or licensed professional use only.
