BPC-157 Dosage Guide: Protocols by Goal
Published BPC-157 research protocols cluster tightly around 200–500 mcg per day subcutaneously, cycled 4–8 weeks. Below is a physician-reviewed breakdown of how those numbers translate into real-world reconstitution and injection choices.
Standard BPC-157 dosing ranges
Match the low end to soft-tissue maintenance; the high end to acute injury or GI flare.
- Maintenance / joint support: 200 mcg once daily SC
- Acute tendon or ligament injury: 250–500 mcg twice daily SC, close to the injury site
- GI / gut protocol: 500 mcg once daily oral (acetate form) OR SC
- Cycle length: 4–6 weeks on, 2–4 weeks off — most protocols cap at 8 weeks continuous
Reconstitution math (5 mg vial)
A standard 5 mg BPC-157 vial reconstituted with 2 mL bacteriostatic water yields 2,500 mcg per mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe: 10 units = 250 mcg, 20 units = 500 mcg. Always draw with a fresh syringe; store reconstituted vial refrigerated and use within 30 days.
Injection site selection
BPC-157 is most often injected subcutaneously into the abdomen (2 in. from navel) or thigh. For localized tendon or joint injuries, many clinicians favor SC injection into the tissue immediately adjacent to the injury — the peptide is thought to act locally as well as systemically.
Stacking dosages
When stacked with TB-500 (Wolverine stack), typical protocols run BPC-157 250 mcg 2×/day + TB-500 2 mg loading dose once weekly for 4 weeks, then 2 mg every other week. See the Wolverine stack guide below for the full cycle chart.
Frequently asked questions
How many mcg of BPC-157 per day?
Research protocols report 200–500 mcg per day. 250 mcg twice daily is the most common human self-report dose for injury recovery.
Do I need to inject BPC-157 near the injury?
Not required — systemic SC dosing works in the literature. Site-of-injury injection is preferred by many clinicians for tendon/ligament work based on the peptide's local repair signal.
How do you reconstitute 5 mg BPC-157?
Add 2 mL bacteriostatic water for 2,500 mcg/mL. 10 units on an insulin syringe = 250 mcg.
How long should a BPC-157 cycle be?
4–6 weeks is standard, with a 2–4 week washout. Most protocols cap continuous use at 8 weeks.
