Body Protective Compound, a gastric pentadecapeptide supporting tissue healing and gut repair.
TL;DR — BPC-157 is a recovery & repair peptide with a typical starting dose of 500 µg. For a 5 mg vial, add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to yield 2500 µg/mL.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 2500 µg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of BPC-157?
A typical research dose is 500 µg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a BPC-157 vial?
A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water yields approximately 10 doses at 500 µg each.

What is the half-life of BPC-157?
BPC-157 has a short plasma half-life estimated at under 4 hours for subcutaneous administration. Research protocols typically use twice-daily injections (morning and evening), though some use single daily dosing for systemic effects.
Should BPC-157 be injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly?
Both routes are used in research. Subcutaneous injection offers systemic absorption. Intramuscular injection near a target tissue may enhance local therapeutic effect based on rodent data, particularly for tendon and muscle injury protocols.
Does BPC-157 interact with nitric oxide pathways?
BPC-157 modulates the nitric oxide system and upregulates eNOS expression, which is thought to contribute to its vasculogenic and wound-healing effects. It also interacts with dopaminergic and GABAergic systems in CNS research models.
