BPC-157 · 5mg vial · research use only
BPC-157 dosage, anchored to the research literature.
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid pentadecapeptide derived from a sequence in gastric juice, and almost all its dosing data comes from rodent studies rather than human trials. This page lays out the microgram-per-kilogram ranges the literature actually reports, how researchers translate those to a per-administration figure, the reconstitution math for a 5mg lyophilized vial, and the short systemic half-life that shapes dosing frequency — framed as a research reference, not a human protocol or medical advice.
What the animal literature reports
The rodent studies that built BPC-157's reputation used doses spanning roughly 10 µg/kg up to higher microgram-per-kilogram amounts, delivered intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, or orally. Researchers commonly translate the rodent figures with allometric scaling, which lands the per-administration research range most protocols model at roughly 200–500 µg per use. The peptide's reported effects in the literature centre on tendon, ligament, muscle and gut-tissue models.
BPC-157 research overview →Reconstitution math, 5mg vial
Titan's BPC-157 ships as a 5mg lyophilized vial. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water: add 2 mL and you get 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 µg/mL), so a 0.1 mL draw on a U-100 insulin syringe is 250 µg and 0.2 mL is 500 µg. Add 1 mL instead for 5 mg/mL and every mark doubles. A single 5mg vial covers a typical multi-week research cycle at the ranges above — confirm against the calculator first.
Run the numbers →Short half-life, frequent dosing
BPC-157's systemic half-life is reported as very short — under about 30 minutes in plasma — which is why research protocols typically model daily (sometimes split twice-daily) administration rather than the weekly cadence used for long-acting peptides. The short circulating life is also why localized, near-site delivery is a recurring theme in the tissue-repair literature.
BPC-157 half-life →Cycle framing in the literature
Research protocols typically run BPC-157 in cycles of about 4–6 weeks of daily administration followed by a break, rather than continuous indefinite use. The cycle length lines up with the tissue-model timelines in the studies. These are research-modelling conventions reproduced from the literature, not a treatment schedule.
The BPC-157 / TB-500 pairing →Format and purity to confirm
Titan's BPC-157 is a 5mg lyophilized powder with an HPLC main-peak result against a ≥99% internal purity target and mass-spec identity confirmation on a lot-matched release sheet. With a microgram-scale dosing range, purity and identity matter more than usual — a sub-spec lot changes the effective amount delivered far more than a draw-volume rounding error would.

BPC-157 has no regulatory approval for human use and its dosing data is overwhelmingly preclinical. The ranges here are reproduced as a laboratory research reference for in-vitro and modelling work — not instructions for human use. Titan supplies BPC-157 strictly as a research reagent, and nothing on this page is medical or dosing advice.
Research-use policy →The detail, in plain terms
The dosing reference, in one table.
BPC-157's dosing is derived from preclinical work, so the useful figures are the reported microgram-per-kilogram ranges and the per-administration amounts researchers scale them to. These are the variables a research protocol actually weighs — reproduced as a reference, not a human protocol.
- Compound
- BPC-157 — synthetic stable gastric pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids).
- Reported range
- ≈10 µg/kg in rodents; commonly scaled to ~200–500 µg per administration.
- Frequency
- Typically modelled daily (sometimes split) given the short half-life.
- Half-life
- Very short systemically — under ~30 minutes in plasma.
- Format
- 5mg lyophilized vial, $54.99 — reconstitute before in-vitro use.
- Reconstitution
- 2 mL BAC water → 2.5 mg/mL (0.1 mL = 250 µg); 1 mL → 5 mg/mL.
Questions researchers ask
Before you order.
- What is the research dosage range for BPC-157?
- Rodent studies used doses around 10 µg/kg and higher; researchers commonly translate these with allometric scaling to a per-administration research range of roughly 200–500 µg. These figures come from the preclinical literature and are reproduced as a laboratory research reference, not a human dosing protocol or medical advice.
- How often is BPC-157 administered in research protocols?
- Because BPC-157's systemic half-life is very short (under about 30 minutes), research protocols typically model daily — sometimes twice-daily split — administration rather than the weekly cadence used for long-acting peptides. Cycles of about 4–6 weeks followed by a break are a common research-modelling convention.
- How do I reconstitute a 5mg BPC-157 vial?
- Add bacteriostatic water to the lyophilized powder. Adding 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 µg/mL), so 0.1 mL on a U-100 insulin syringe is 250 µg and 0.2 mL is 500 µg. Adding 1 mL gives 5 mg/mL and halves those volumes. Always confirm against the reconstitution calculator before any in-vitro work.
- What is BPC-157's half-life?
- BPC-157 has a very short reported systemic half-life — under roughly 30 minutes in plasma. That short circulating time is why research protocols favour frequent (daily or split) dosing and why localized, near-site delivery appears throughout the tissue-repair literature.
- Is BPC-157 approved for human use?
- No. BPC-157 has no regulatory approval for human use and its dosing evidence is overwhelmingly preclinical. Titan Peptide Lab supplies it strictly as a research-use-only reagent for in-vitro laboratory work — not for human or animal consumption, and not for diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative use.
