The short answer
Mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, a 10 mg vial of BPC-157 + TB-500 holds 5 mg/mL (2.5 mg/mL BPC-157 and 2.5 mg/mL TB-500). A 250 mcg BPC-157 dose is then 10 units (0.10 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe, and the vial holds about 20 doses of that size. Taken 1× per day, it lasts about 2.9 weeks.
How much water
The water only sets the strength; the dose and the number of doses in the vial stay the same. Draws are on a U-100 insulin syringe, where 1 unit is 0.01 mL.

Draws over 100 units show in mL. Faded values are under 2 units, which is hard to measure. Check that your vial holds the larger volumes.
Where the doses come from
- Community Dosed by the BPC-157 share: 250–500 mcg once daily, which delivers the same amount of TB-500. At 500 mcg a day, TB-500 totals 3.5 mg a week, a little under standard TB-500 loading (4–5 mg a week).
Doses are what labels, trials or community reports reference, not recommendations. BPC-157 + TB-500’s page has the cycle, side effects, cautions and sources.
Mixing and storage
- PrepareLet a refrigerated vial come to room temperature, and wipe both stoppers with an alcohol swab.
- Add 2 mLDraw 2 mL of bacteriostatic water and let it run slowly down the inside wall of the vial.
- Swirl, don’t shakeSwirl gently until the powder dissolves and the liquid is clear.
- Label itWrite the date and the strength, 5 mg/mL, on the vial.
Storage: Powder: −20 °C. Mixed: 2–8 °C, use within about 3–4 weeks.

Questions
How much water do I add to a 10 mg vial of BPC-157 + TB-500?
There’s no single right amount: the water only sets the strength. With 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, a 10 mg vial holds 5 mg/mL. With 1 mL it’s 10 mg/mL; with 3 mL it’s 3.333 mg/mL. Less liquid makes each dose a smaller draw; more makes small doses easier to measure.
