BPC-157 Protocol Guide
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It consists of 15 amino acids and is widely studied for tissue repair and regeneration research.
Protocol Overview
- Compound
- BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157)
- Category
- Research Peptide
- Vial Size
- 10mg (10,000mcg)
- Reconstitution
- 2mL bacteriostatic water (5mg/mL)
- Route
- Subcutaneous injection
- Frequency
- 5 days/week
Reconstitution Instructions
Using 2mL of bacteriostatic water results in a concentration of 5mg/mL (5,000mcg/mL). Always use sterile techniques.
Materials Needed
- 10mg BPC-157 vial (lyophilized powder)
- 2mL bacteriostatic water (sterile, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol)
- Sterile syringe and needle (18-22 gauge for drawing)
- Alcohol swabs
- Clean workspace
Step-by-Step Process
- Preparation: Allow the BPC-157 vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature. Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with an alcohol swab.
- Draw the Water: Using a sterile syringe, draw up exactly 2mL of bacteriostatic water. Expel any air bubbles.
- Inject into Vial: Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at a slight angle, aiming toward the glass wall. Slowly inject the water down the side of the vial to avoid foaming.
- Mix Gently: Remove the needle. Gently swirl or roll the vial between your hands. Do not shake vigorously.
- Check for Clarity: The solution should be clear once fully reconstituted. Do not use if cloudy.
