BPC-157 Reconstitution Calculator
A 15-amino-acid synthetic peptide fragment studied for its purported role in tissue-repair research. This page works out concentration, volume per measured amount, syringe units and preparations per vial for a reconstituted BPC-157 preparation, plus the mass-to-molar conversions for its stated molecular weight. Everything runs in your browser; plan entries stay in this browser, with optional device-local saving and calendar export.

Syringe capacity
Whole administrations exclude dead space, handling losses and expiry. A calculated quantity is not a guarantee of usable supply. No rounding to a nearby syringe mark is performed.
Protocol schedule
Schedule an existing prescribed or approved protocol. This tool cannot determine how often you can safely take a peptide. Frequency, dose, reconstitution, storage and discard instructions must come from the product label and your clinician or pharmacist.
04 / Your calendar

A separate worked example, step by step
This separate arithmetic example uses a 5 mg vial, 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, and a 250 mcg target amount. They are not a property of BPC-157 and not an amount anyone should draw — these figures only illustrate the arithmetic.
- Concentration. 5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL (2,500 mcg/mL), which for BPC-157 is approximately 1.761 mM at its stated molecular weight.
- Per syringe unit. A U-100 syringe divides 1 mL into 100 units, so one unit holds 2,500 mcg ÷ 100 = 25 mcg.
- Volume for the 250 mcg target. 250 mcg ÷ 2,500 mcg/mL = 0.1 mL, or 10 units on that syringe.
- Preparations per vial. 5,000 mcg ÷ 250 mcg = 20 preparations.

Mass and molar equivalents for BPC-157
Derived from the molecular weight recorded on the BPC-157 entry: 1419.5 Da. Concentration in molar units is what an in-vitro protocol is usually specified in.
| Quantity | Molar equivalent |
|---|---|
| 1 mg of BPC-157 | 704.5 nmol (0.7045 µmol) |
| 1 mcg of BPC-157 | 0.7045 nmol |
| A 1 mg/mL solution | 0.7045 mM (704.5 µM) |
Molar amount = mass ÷ molecular weight. Figures are shown to four significant digits and are a unit conversion, not a measurement.
Reconstitution recorded for BPC-157

Handling questions for BPC-157
How is BPC-157 typically reconstituted and stored in research settings?
BPC-157 is supplied as a lyophilized powder and is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, added slowly down the vial wall and swirled rather than shaken to avoid degrading the peptide. Reconstituted solution is generally stored refrigerated at 2-8 C and protected from light. Lyophilized powder is more stable and is often kept frozen for longer-term storage.
