BPC-157 Dosage: Common Protocols Explained
BPC-157 is one of the most widely used peptides in the self-experimentation community, mostly for soft-tissue repair and gut health. Here's what commonly reported protocols look like — and why tracking yours matters.
Typical dosing ranges
Community protocols most often fall in the 250–500 mcg per day range:
- Starting dose: 250 mcg once daily — the most common entry point
- Common maximum: 500 mcg per day, sometimes split into two 250 mcg doses
BPC-157 is usually injected subcutaneously, though oral use is also reported for gut-focused goals. See the BPC-157 entry in the peptide library for benefits, side effects and administration notes.
How long is a cycle?
Reported cycles typically run 4–8 weeks, followed by a break. Injury-repair protocols often run until the issue resolves, while general-use protocols tend to stick to fixed blocks with time off in between.
Working out your syringe units
Your dose in syringe units depends entirely on how you mixed the vial. A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 2,500 mcg/mL, so a 250 mcg dose is 10 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe. The full walkthrough is in our reconstitution guide.
Why tracking matters more than the number
BPC-157 research in humans is limited, so most dosing knowledge comes from community experience. That makes your own log the most reliable data you have:
- Effects over time — is the injury actually improving week over week, or did it plateau?
- Side effects — some users report fatigue or vivid dreams; noting when they appear relative to dose changes is the only way to spot the pattern
- Dose response — if 250 mcg works, there's little reason to escalate; your history tells you
LogMyPeptides charts your doses and effects over time and generates summaries of what's changing, so a 6-week cycle turns into actual insight instead of a fuzzy memory.
Stacking with TB-500
BPC-157 is frequently paired with TB-500 (the "Wolverine stack") for injury repair. If you run both, keep separate logs and vial data for each compound — they have different dosing and mixing math. LogMyPeptides supports named stacks with independent schedules and vials per compound, plus a combined dashboard view.
