BPC-157 Dosing Protocol: 5 mg Vial — Daily Dosing Schedule & Supplies

Body Protection Compound-157 complete dosing guide for the 5 mg vial — subcutaneous, intramuscular, and oral protocols for tissue repair.

Quickstart highlights

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound, GEPPPGKPADDAGLV) is a synthetic 15-amino acid peptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice.

Concentration: 2 mg/mL (5 mg vial + 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water).

At 2 mg/mL: 250 μg = 12.5 units, 500 μg = 25 units on a U-100 syringe.

Inject subcutaneously near the injury site for musculoskeletal repair; inject abdominally for systemic or gut protocols.

One 5 mg vial provides 10 daily doses at 500 μg or 20 doses at 250 μg.

Oral administration is viable — BPC-157 survives gastric acid due to its unique stability.

Reconstitution steps

Draw 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water; inject slowly down the vial wall.

Swirl gently until the lyophilized powder dissolves; do not shake.

Final concentration: 2 mg/mL (2,000 μg/mL). At 2 mg/mL: 250 μg = 12.5 units, 500 μg = 25 units on a U-100 syringe.

Label with date; refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Use within 28 days.

Protocol overview & cycle notes

Accelerate musculoskeletal tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support gut mucosal healing through daily BPC-157 injections near the target tissue, harnessing its multi-pathway angiogenic and cytoprotective effects.

Cycle length: 12 weeks on.

Off-cycle: 4 weeks off after each 12-week cycle.

Storage & handling

Injection & tracking tips

For musculoskeletal injuries: inject subcutaneously near (not into) the injured tissue, typically within 2–5 cm of the site.

For systemic or gut-healing protocols: inject in the abdomen (standard SC site) or administer orally.

Oral BPC-157: draw the dose from the vial into a syringe, squirt into 2 oz water, swallow on an empty stomach. The peptide survives gastric acid due to its unique stability.

Tracking

Logging helps you and your provider spot patterns and adjust dose or timing.

Rate injury pain on a 0–10 visual analogue scale (VAS) daily for the first 4 weeks.

Track range of motion for joint injuries every 2 weeks.

For gut protocols: record Bristol Stool Form Scale and bloating severity daily.
