BPC-157 reconstitution calculator
Body Protection Compound 157
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. It is widely discussed for soft-tissue recovery, but human trial evidence is minimal and it has no approved use. It remains prohibited in sport under WADA rules.
Enter vial size, water volume, and the dose your provider gave you.
This tool converts the numbers you enter (dose ÷ concentration = volume). It never suggests a dose. The FDA has documented hospitalizations caused by mg / ml / unit conversion errors with vial-and-syringe products - if the readout surprises you, stop and verify with your prescriber or pharmacist.
Questions people actually search
Why are BPC-157 amounts usually written in mcg?
Amounts discussed in published animal research and by clinics are typically in the microgram range (e.g. 200-500 mcg), a thousandth of a milligram. Entering mg when a source meant mcg is a 1,000× error - the calculator flags draws that look implausibly large relative to the vial.
Is BPC-157 legal?
It is not an approved drug and the FDA has placed it in Category 2 (significant safety concerns) for compounding purposes. It is sold in a regulatory gray zone as a “research chemical”, and it is prohibited in competitive sport by WADA. Legality for clinics varies by state - see our state-by-state guide.
How long does reconstituted BPC-157 last?
Peptide stability after reconstitution depends on storage temperature and handling. Refrigeration in a sealed vial is the standard practice discussed in laboratory literature; there is no FDA-reviewed shelf-life data for this compound.
