BPC-157 reconstitution calculator

15-amino acid peptide derived from human gastric juice (Sikiric, J Physiol Paris 1993). Studied for tendon, ligament, muscle, and gut repair. Plasma half-life is under an hour in rodent PK (Sikiric, Curr Pharm Des 2010, PMID 20166983); the 2x daily protocol is based on pharmacodynamic effect, not drug persistence. No published human PK.

Frequently asked questions

How much bacteriostatic water should I add to BPC-157?

For a 5mg vial of BPC-157, add 2ml of bacteriostatic water. This concentration works well with a standard insulin syringe.

What is the typical BPC-157 dosage?

Typical research dosages for BPC-157 range from 200 to 500 mcg, administered 2x daily (morning and evening).

How long does reconstituted BPC-157 last?

Reconstituted BPC-157 should be stored at 2-8°C refrigerated and used within 28 days. Unreconstituted vials can be stored for up to 24 months.

How do I calculate my BPC-157 dose?

Divide your target dose by the concentration to get the volume, then multiply by 100 for units on a U-100 insulin syringe. For example, a 5mg vial in 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2500 mcg/ml. The calculator above does this automatically once you enter your vial size, water volume, and desired dose.

How many units of BPC-157 should I draw on an insulin syringe?

On a U-100 insulin syringe, 1 unit equals 0.01 ml regardless of the barrel size (0.3ml, 0.5ml, or 1ml). Enter your reconstitution details in the calculator to see the exact number of units to draw for your dose.
