Reference protocol: BPC-157 + TB-500
This blend combines two tissue-repair peptides in a single vial. Its protocol is among the simplest in the catalog: one daily dose in micrograms, eight weeks, and the only real decision is the route and injection site.
The reference for the 10 mg BPC-157 + TB-500 blend is 600 mcg per day — 6 units at 10 mg/ml — for the first two weeks and 800 mcg — 8 units — from week 3 through week 8. Subcutaneous or intramuscular, at any time of day; the abdominal area offers the best systemic absorption.

Discomfort or wear without an acute injury: 600 mcg daily, moving to 800 from week 3.

Your BPC-157 + TB-500 vial arrives with the compound as a dry powder. Before using it you mix it with a special water — that step is called reconstitution — and measure each dose with an insulin syringe. Here is everything you need, in order.
- Get what you need: your vial, a vial of bacteriostatic water (not included — it is the special mixing water), a 1 ml U-100 insulin syringe — ask for it exactly like that at any pharmacy — and alcohol wipes.
- Mix the powder with the water (reconstitute): the vial is never uncapped — the needle goes through the rubber stopper. Add 1 ml of water letting it run down the inside wall, then swirl gently — never shake; it turns clear in a few minutes (some compounds take longer). Measure the water with the same insulin syringe: one full draw to the top is exactly 1 ml — do not repeat it. Once mixed, the vial goes in the fridge and lasts about 4 weeks; unmixed, also keep it refrigerated from the day it arrives.
- Fill the syringe up to the 6 mark: every small line on the insulin syringe is 1 unit (U). That mark equals the starting dose (600 mcg); if your dose is different, pick it in the panel below and the number updates. And note: several protocols raise the dose after the first weeks — the dose steps further down tell you when your mark changes.
- Inject under the skin and you are done: belly area (two fingers away from the navel), skin cleaned with alcohol; pinch the skin, insert the full needle and inject slowly. Switch sides each time and use a new syringe for every injection. Used once a day, at whatever time suits you.

Quick dictionary — the words that stop beginners
- Reconstitute: mixing the vial's powder with the special water so it becomes a liquid you can measure.
- Bacteriostatic water: the special water for that mix (regular water will not do); sold separately — one vial covers several mixes.
- Unit (U): each small line on the insulin syringe. 100 units = 1 ml.
- U-100 syringe: the standard 1 ml insulin syringe with 100 marks; sold at any pharmacy.
- mg and mcg: milligrams and micrograms: 1 mg = 1,000 mcg. Mind the factor of one thousand when reading a dose.
- Subcutaneous: an injection under the skin (not into muscle or vein), usually in the belly area.
- Cycle and washout: using the product for a period and then stopping completely for some weeks; when resuming you start again from the starting dose.

Reconstitution and syringe units
Our 10 mg vial is reconstituted with 1 ml of bacteriostatic water: it sits at 10 mg/ml.
The buttons follow the protocol's dose steps; the starting dose comes pre-selected.
Fill the syringe up to the 6 mark
The syringe: a 1 ml U-100 insulin syringe (100 small marks = 1 ml), sold at any pharmacy.

Units refer to an insulin U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 ml). Tap a figure to open it in the calculator. The last column shows how many complete doses the vial yields.
At our concentration the arithmetic stays clean: units = micrograms ÷ 100. The starting 600 mcg comes to exactly 6 units.
The two documented schedules
| Schedule | Weeks 1–2 | Weeks 3–8 |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 600 mcg/day | 800 mcg/day |
| Intensive | 1,000 mcg/day | 600 mcg/day |
The standard schedule steps up after the adaptation period; the intensive one front-loads at the start — when the injury is acute — and drops to maintenance. Both close at 8 weeks, followed by the washout.
Route and injection site
- Subcutaneous: enters general circulation and spreads the effect — documented for general recovery or multiple injuries. Slower absorption.
- Intramuscular: faster absorption and a more noticeable effect — documented for acute injuries, post-surgery, or localized pain, injecting near the affected area.
- You can alternate between the two. For subcutaneous, the abdominal area shows the best systemic bioavailability.
In our catalog
The 10 mg blend is on the BPC-157 + TB-500 product page. In documented research practice it is combined with GHK-Cu for skin and connective tissue, and with MOTS-c in performance lines.
Frequently asked questions
How many vials do I need for the full cycle?
The standard schedule uses 42 mg over 8 weeks (600 mcg × 14 days + 800 mcg × 42 days): five 10 mg vials cover it with margin. Each vial yields 16 doses of 600 mcg or 12 doses of 800 mcg.
Subcutaneous or intramuscular?
Both are documented and you can alternate between them. Subcutaneous for a general, sustained effect; intramuscular near the affected area when you want a fast, local effect. The abdominal area gives the best absorption for subcutaneous injections.
What exactly does the vial contain?
10 mg of BPC-157 and TB-500 combined in a single lyophilized vial. The protocol doses refer to the total blend, not to each peptide separately.
Can I take it at any time of day?
Yes: the reference requires no set time or fasting. What it does call for is daily consistency throughout the 8-week cycle, followed by the 4-to-8-week washout.
