BPC-157 reconstitution.

BPC-157 vials most commonly ship as 5 mg or 10 mg lyophilized powder. The vast majority of protocols reconstitute with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water for clean dose math on a U-100 insulin syringe.

BPC-157 specifics

What to know about this peptide.

Half-life

Very short plasma half-life — under 30 minutes in published rat and beagle pharmacokinetics. Downstream tissue-repair effects persist far longer. Most protocols dose 2× daily.

Stability after mixing

Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 21-28 days. BPC-157 is sensitive to mechanical stress — never shake, only gently swirl.

Typical use

Connective tissue repair, gut barrier support, post-injury recovery. Used 4-8 weeks for an acute injury.

Not medical advice

The math on this page is correct for the listed vial and BAC-water volume. The decision to reconstitute and inject BPC-157 belongs to you and a clinician who knows your full history — not to a webpage.

Frequently asked

BPC-157 questions

What vial size is BPC-157 usually sold in?

BPC-157 most commonly ships as 5 mg or 10 mg of lyophilized powder. The standard reconstitution is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which yields clean unit-mark math on a U-100 insulin syringe for the doses used in most protocols.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a BPC-157 vial?

The standard volume is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. You can use more (easier to draw, lower concentration) or less (more concentrated, smaller draw volume) without changing the peptide itself — only the syringe math changes. The dose table on this page is pre-calculated for 2 mL.

What is the half-life of BPC-157?

Very short plasma half-life — under 30 minutes in published rat and beagle pharmacokinetics. Downstream tissue-repair effects persist far longer. Most protocols dose 2× daily.

How long does reconstituted BPC-157 last in the fridge?

Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 21-28 days. BPC-157 is sensitive to mechanical stress — never shake, only gently swirl.

What is BPC-157 typically used for?

Connective tissue repair, gut barrier support, post-injury recovery. Used 4-8 weeks for an acute injury.

What syringe should I use for BPC-157?

U-100 insulin syringes (29–31 gauge, 8–13 mm needle) are standard for subcutaneous peptide injection. Each unit on a U-100 syringe equals 0.01 mL. The dose table above shows how many units to draw for each common dose, given the vial size and standard bacteriostatic water volume.
