Show the math
  1. Concentration = 5 mg × 1,000 ÷ 2 mL = 2,500 mcg/mL
  2. Volume = 250 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL
  3. Units = 0.1 mL × 100 = 10 units (U-100: 100 units = 1 mL)

The pre-filled dose (250 mcg) is an example input so the calculator shows a result. It is not a recommendation.

BPC-157 dosage chart (in units)

No validated human dose.

BPC-157 has not been approved for human use, and there are no controlled human trials that establish a dose. The amounts below are what public protocol websites report — they are shown so you can see how they translate into syringe units, not as a recommendation.

Online protocols most often list 250 mcg per injection, once or twice a day; 500 mcg also appears. Units are calculated for your current mix (5 mg vial + 2 mL water).

About BPC-157

BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a gastric protein. Most of the published research is in animals; controlled human trials are very limited.

Regulatory status: Not approved by the FDA for any human use. Products sold as "research peptides" are not regulated as medicines, and their purity and labeled content are not verified. The FDA has listed BPC-157 among bulk substances that may present significant safety risks in compounding.

Also searched as: body protection compound 157, BPC 157.

How to reconstitute BPC-157

  1. Wash your hands and let the vial reach room temperature.
  2. Wipe the rubber stoppers of the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water with an alcohol pad.
  3. Draw the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (for example 2 mL — that is 200 units on a 1 mL syringe).
  4. Inject the water slowly down the inside wall of the vial, not directly onto the powder.
  5. Gently swirl or roll the vial until the powder dissolves. Do not shake.
  6. Label the vial with the date and the concentration shown by the calculator, and store it as the product label directs (reconstituted peptides are normally kept refrigerated).

These are general handling steps, not medical instructions. If your product came with instructions from a pharmacy or prescriber, follow those.

What you need

  • Bacteriostatic water

    Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used to dissolve the powder.

  • U-100 insulin syringes

    0.3 mL syringes are easiest to read for small doses; 1 mL for larger ones.

  • Alcohol prep pads

    Wipe the vial stopper before every draw.

  • Sharps container

    For safe disposal of used needles.

BPC-157 calculator FAQ

How many units is 250 mcg of BPC-157?

+

It depends on how much water you add. With a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 2,500 mcg/mL, so 250 mcg is 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. With a 10 mg vial and the same 2 mL of water it is 5 units.

How much water should I add to a 5 mg BPC-157 vial?

+

The water volume does not change the total amount of BPC-157; it only sets the concentration. Common choices are 1–3 mL. With 2 mL, each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 25 mcg. Pick a volume that makes your dose easy to read on the syringe — the calculator above suggests volumes that land on round numbers.

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

+

At 250 mcg per injection, a 5 mg vial contains 20 full doses. The amount of water you add does not change this number.

What BPC-157 dosage do people use?

+

There is no validated human dose for BPC-157. Online protocols most often list 250 mcg per injection, once or twice a day; 500 mcg also appears. For reference, 250 mcg from a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of water is 10 units. These figures come from protocol websites, not clinical trials, and are not a recommendation.

Is BPC-157 approved?

+

Not approved by the FDA for any human use. Products sold as "research peptides" are not regulated as medicines, and their purity and labeled content are not verified. The FDA has listed BPC-157 among bulk substances that may present significant safety risks in compounding.
