BPC-157 reconstitution calculator

A 5 mg BPC-157 vial with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 2,500 mcg per ml - so 250 mcg, as pure arithmetic, is a 10-unit draw on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change any of those numbers and the answer moves; the calculator below does the moving for you, and further down is the thing the vendor calculators never mention: where BPC-157 actually stands with regulators right now.

What you are working with

BPC-157 is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in small vials, most often labeled 5 mg or 10 mg, and is dissolved in bacteriostatic water before use.

The reference table below shows the concentration each common vial-and-water combination produces. These are arithmetic facts about BPC-157 vial sizes, not guidance about amounts - the same table exists for TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) and Semaglutide, with different numbers.

In limbo

BPC-157 is not an FDA-approved drug and is not on the FDA's Section 503A Bulk Drug Substances List, so compounding pharmacies still have no affirmative federal authorization to compound it. On July 23, 2026 the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee voted 8-6, with 1 abstention, to recommend adding it to that list - overriding the FDA's own review staff, whose briefing proposed against listing on characterization, immunogenicity, and efficacy grounds. That vote is advisory and does not bind the FDA.

In limbo: Nominated or removed from a restricted list but NOT approved - the headline implies a change, but the legal reality did not move. Verified Aug 11, 2026 (ET) · status held since Jul 23, 2026.

What changed last

  1. FDA advisory committee (PCAC) voted 8-6, with 1 abstention, to recommend adding BPC-157 to the 503A list, overriding the FDA's own reviewers. Widely reported as "FDA clears BPC-157" - it does not. The vote is non-binding, BPC-157 is not on the list, and compounding it is no more authorised than the day before.

  2. Placed on the July 23, 2026 FDA advisory committee agenda (Docket FDA-2025-N-6895); FDA's briefing proposes not adding it to the 503A list.

BPC-157 math, asked and answered

How much bacteriostatic water do you add to a 5 mg BPC-157 vial?
Any amount - water sets the concentration, not the contents. With 2 ml, a 5 mg vial gives 2,500 mcg/ml; with 1 ml it gives 5,000 mcg/ml. More water means the same dose is a larger, easier-to-read draw on the syringe. There is no single correct volume, which is why this page calculates instead of prescribing.
How many insulin-syringe units is 250 mcg of BPC-157?
It depends entirely on how the vial was reconstituted. As arithmetic: in a 5 mg vial with 2 ml of water (2,500 mcg/ml), 250 mcg is 10 units on a U-100 syringe. With 1 ml of water instead, the same 250 mcg is 5 units. The calculator above does this for your actual numbers.
