BPC-157 Dose Presets

Common Protocols

BPC-157 protocols vary based on goals and duration. These are widely referenced dosing approaches in the research and user community.

Standard Protocol

250mcg 1x/day

The most commonly referenced BPC-157 protocol. Once-daily subcutaneous injection, typically administered in the morning. Often run for 4-8 weeks.

Split Dose Protocol

250mcg 2x/day

Split across AM and PM administrations. With BPC-157's approximately 4-hour half-life, twice-daily dosing maintains more consistent blood concentration levels throughout the day.

Loading Protocol

500mcg 1x/day

A higher single dose approach. Some users reference this for the first 1-2 weeks before transitioning to the standard 250mcg dose for the remainder of the cycle.

Key Context

Daily Dosing

BPC-157 has a half-life of approximately 4 hours. Unlike weekly GLP-1 peptides, it is typically administered once or twice daily via subcutaneous injection.

Cycle Duration

Common protocol durations range from 4 to 12 weeks. Many users run 4-8 week cycles. Protocol length is a frequently discussed variable in the research community.

Gastric Pentadecapeptide

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a 15-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from gastric juice. This origin is why oral administration is discussed as a potential route alongside subcutaneous injection.

Storage After Reconstitution

Reconstituted BPC-157 is typically stored refrigerated at 2-8 degrees Celsius. Using bacteriostatic water supports multi-use stability for approximately 4-6 weeks.

Quick Notes

1 mL = 100 units (IU) on a standard U-100 insulin syringe

Short half-life means twice-daily dosing provides more consistent levels

Often stacked with TB-500 in recovery-focused protocols

Store reconstituted vials refrigerated (2-8°C) and use within 4-6 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions

Common reconstitution volumes are 1mL or 2mL. Adding 2mL to a 5mg vial gives 25mcg per unit (IU), making doses straightforward to measure. Adding 1mL gives 50mcg per unit for a more concentrated solution with smaller injection volumes.
With a 5mg vial reconstituted in 2mL, 250mcg equals 5 units (IU). With 1mL of water, the same dose equals 2.5 units. Use the calculator above for your exact vial and water configuration.
BPC-157 is commonly administered once or twice daily via subcutaneous injection. Its short half-life of approximately 4 hours means twice-daily dosing (AM and PM) maintains more consistent blood concentration levels throughout the day.
Common protocol durations range from 4 to 12 weeks. Many users reference 4-8 week cycles. Some run shorter 4-week protocols focused on specific goals, while others extend to 10-12 weeks. Protocol length is a frequently discussed variable.
BPC-157 is unique among peptides in that oral administration is widely discussed. As a gastric pentadecapeptide originally isolated from gastric juice, some research has explored oral bioavailability. However, subcutaneous injection remains the most commonly referenced administration route for systemic protocols.
BPC-157 is frequently referenced alongside TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) in recovery-focused protocols. This combination is one of the most widely discussed peptide stacks. Milligram can track both compounds simultaneously with independent pharmacokinetic curves for each.
