Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (2 mL BAC → 2.50 mg/mL · 25.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Research-community and clinic educational tables most often cite ~250–500 mcg SC once daily (sometimes twice daily) for about 4–6 weeks, then time off. Oral capsules (when used) are often discussed in a similar mcg/day band but are not the same as reconstituted injectable math.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–7 (intro) | 250 mcg0.25 mg | 10 u | 0.10 mL250 mcg daily — common educational start |
| Days 8–28 (standard) | 500 mcg0.5 mg | 20 u | 0.20 mL500 mcg daily — frequently cited research-community amount |
| Days 29–42 (optional extension) | 500 mcg0.5 mg | 20 u | 0.20 mLContinue 500 mcg if still in a multi-week recovery-style course |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation

Bacteriostatic water
3 × 3 mL or 1 × 10 mL
2 mL BAC per vial × 4 vials = 8.0 mL total. Buy as 3× 3 mL bottles or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
42+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.

Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 5 mg BPC-157 vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "2.5 mg/mL — 2 mL BAC").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid gastric-derived research peptide studied in injury and GI models.
- ·Calculator doses are milligrams: 0.25 mg = 250 mcg; 0.5 mg = 500 mcg.
- ·VERIX also lists oral BPC-157 capsules (500 mcg) — those are pre-dosed and do not use this BAC recon flow.
- ·Often stacked educationally with TB-500 (see BPC+TB blend guides) at independent or fixed-ratio schedules.
- ·Research use only. Not medical advice.
Research context & considerations
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) has a large preclinical literature on soft-tissue repair, angiogenesis signaling, and GI mucosal models. Robust modern Phase 3 human dosing as an approved drug does not exist for research-market vials. This page is reconstitution and unit-math logistics only.
- ·Injection-site irritation is the most common practical issue.
- ·Theoretical angiogenesis / malignancy caution discussions appear in secondary literature for repair peptides.
- ·Not FDA-approved. Not for human consumption as a drug substitute.
- ·Pregnancy and pediatric use are outside research-hobby scope.
