BPC-157/TB-500 Dosage Chart: Units, mg, Cycle

What Concentration Is the Blend Vial?

A dosage chart is only as good as the concentration it assumes, and this is where most BPC-157 Explore PeRxBPC-157The Body Protection CompoundView peptide /TB-500 numbers on the internet fall apart. The blend is not one standardized product. Gray-market vendors sell it as a powder in whatever ratio they choose, often 10 mg of each peptide, and the buyer sets the final concentration by deciding how much diluent to add. Two people following the same forum chart can be injecting very different amounts.

The prescribed version dispensed through PeRx removes that variable. The compounding pharmacy supplies a 5 mL vial at 3 mg BPC-157 and 3 mg TB-500 per mL, a fixed 1:1 ratio, 15 mg of each peptide and 30 mg of total peptide in the vial. It ships fully reconstituted and ready to use, refrigerated, with insulin syringes in the box. You never touch a concentration decision. The pharmacy made it, the label states it, and the only number you handle is the line you draw to.

The other moves the construction crew into position and builds the blood supply to keep them working. BPC-157 and TB-500 were discovered decades apart, on different continents, for completely different reasons. Practitioners started combining them because the science pointed to an obvious fit: they cover non-overlapping phases of the same healing process. This is the most widely used peptide combination in injury recovery.Read article covers all of that. This page stays on the math.

BPC-157/TB-500 Dosage Chart

Every row in the chart comes from two inputs: 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe equals 0.2 mL, and each mL carries 3 mg of each peptide. Multiply through and the daily, weekly, and full-course totals fall out.

Two patterns in the table are worth noticing because they make the mental math easy. Five doses of 0.2 mL is exactly 1 mL, so one week of injections uses one mL of the vial, and your weekly intake always equals the per-mL numbers on the label: 3 mg of each peptide. And because the vial holds 5 mL, it covers 5 dosing weeks. A 6-week course needs 30 doses, so it runs one week into a second vial. Order accordingly rather than discovering the shortfall in week five.

BPC/TB-500

PeRx ships the blend this chart describes as a single vial: 3 mg/mL of each peptide, 5 mL total, prescribed by a licensed provider and compounded at a US-based 503A pharmacy. It arrives fully reconstituted and ready to use, with insulin syringes included.

Because both peptides sit in one solution at matched concentrations, one draw delivers the pair in a fixed ratio, with no second vial and no separate math. $299 for the monthly vial, and the oral capsules are available at $225 if injections are not for you.

One vial, both peptides, one draw.

How Many Units on an Insulin Syringe?

The prescription is written in units because insulin syringes are marked in units. On a U-100 syringe, 100 units equals 1 mL, so each unit is 0.01 mL. The prescribed pull is 20 units, which is 0.2 mL no matter which syringe size you were sent: one-fifth of a 1 mL barrel, two-fifths of a 0.5 mL barrel, two-thirds of a 0.3 mL barrel. Read the printed unit markings, not the fill height by eye. Twenty units is a short draw, and eyeballing it is how people end up at 12 or 15 without noticing.

The rows above 20 units exist so you can translate charts written for other concentrations, not as an invitation to draw more. At this concentration the prescribed dose is 20 units, and nothing on your label changes with the day of the week. Injection goes under the skin, as close to the injury as you can comfortably reach, rotating spots.

Dosage Per Day vs Per Week

Searches for BPC-157/TB-500 blend dosage per day usually come from people comparing the blend to separate-vial stacking protocols, and the comparison only works at the weekly level. On dosing days you take 1.2 mg of combined peptide: 0.6 mg of each. Saturday and Sunday you take nothing. Across a week that is 3 mg of BPC-157 and 3 mg of TB-500.

Separate-vial protocols look different on paper because the two peptides are traditionally scheduled differently when each has its own vial. Forum protocols tend to run BPC-157 as a small daily injection while giving TB-500 as a larger shot once or twice a week, because a standalone TB-500 vial makes that split possible. The blend cannot do that and does not try. Both peptides ride in the same solution at a fixed 1:1 ratio, so both arrive on the same Monday-through-Friday schedule, in smaller and more frequent amounts. Same weekly logic, different delivery rhythm. The reasoning behind combining them into one vial in the first place is covered in why we pair BPC-157 and TB-500 Read nextWhy We Pair BPC-157 With TB-500BPC-157 and TB-500 are both repair peptides, but they cover different ground. BPC-157 works fast and focal, strongest at a specific injury and in the gut. TB-500 works broad and systemic, moving repair cells across the whole body. The pairing is not automatic. Here is how a provider decides whether you need both, or whether BPC-157 on its own does the job.Read article .

One implication worth stating plainly: a per-day number from a chart built for separate vials does not transfer to the blend, and a blend number does not transfer back. If a chart tells you to inject 2.5 mg of TB-500, it is describing a standalone TB-500 protocol at some other concentration. Trying to hit that number with the blend would mean drawing over 80 units and taking 2.5 mg of BPC-157 along for the ride. The unit count on your prescription label is the only per-day number that applies to this vial.

Capsules: How Oral Dosing Differs

The blend also comes as an oral capsule, and the dosing is structured differently in three ways: the per-dose amount, the schedule, and what the milligrams mean once they are inside you.

The nominal weekly numbers land close together, 3 mg injected versus 3.5 mg swallowed, but they are not equivalent doses. An injected milligram bypasses digestion entirely. An oral milligram has to survive the GI tract first, and the two peptides fare very differently there.

TB-500 is a larger molecule with poor oral survivability, so the capsule is best understood as a gut-directed BPC-157 product with a partial TB-500 contribution rather than an equal-strength swap for the injection.

Oral peptides are easier to take. The trade-off is real, and the right choice depends on what you are treating and how much of the peptide needs to reach systemic circulation.Read article .

Cycle Length

The prescription as written runs 6 weeks on, then 6 weeks off, and says in plain words not to use it continuously. Six weeks at five doses per week is 30 injections and 36 mg of combined peptide. If there is still a reason to continue after the off period, a new cycle goes back through provider review rather than rolling over automatically. Providers can and do write different cycle lengths for different situations, which is exactly why the label outranks this page.

The off period earns its place in the math. BPC-157 has a large preclinical literature, nearly all of it rodent work, and essentially no controlled human trials behind the doses used in practice. TB-500 is thinner still: the human data that exists belongs to full thymosin beta-4, which reached early-phase wound-healing trials, and the TB-500 fragment itself has no published human dosing data at all. A bounded cycle keeps cumulative exposure capped at 26 dosing weeks per year while that evidence gap stands.

What a Month Costs

The injectable blend is $299 for a one-month supply, which is the 5 mL vial. At 25 doses per vial that works out to just under $12 per injection, and at five doses per week one vial covers five dosing weeks. A full 6-week course spans two vials, with most of the second vial left over; an unopened continuation into a later cycle is a question for your provider, since the vial carries a pharmacy beyond-use date.

The capsules are $225 for a bottle of 30, which is $7.50 per day at one capsule daily. Because capsules run seven days a week, a bottle lasts 30 days flat, and a 6-week course uses 42 capsules and therefore reaches into a second bottle. Per milligram the capsules look cheaper than they are; the oral route gives up a large share of the TB-500 in transit, so cost per absorbed milligram tilts back toward the injectable. Which format fits is a goals question, gut-focused versus injury-focused, more than a budget question.

If You Miss a Dose

For the injectable: if you remember on the same day, take the dose when you remember. If the day has passed, skip it and inject on the next scheduled day. Never draw double to catch up. One missed dose out of a 30-dose course is a rounding error; a doubled dose is an unforced one. Weekends are not missed doses. Saturday and Sunday off is the schedule working as written.

For the capsules the same logic applies on a 7-day clock. A forgotten morning capsule can be taken later that day, though you lose the empty-stomach timing; if the whole day slips by, resume with one capsule the next morning rather than taking two. If you find yourself missing doses often enough that the course stretches out, mention it to your provider instead of improvising a compressed schedule at the end.
