How to Reconstitute BPC-157: Research Guide (5mg & 10mg Vials)
Introduction
BPC-157 is widely studied for its effects on tendon, ligament, gut, and systemic healing. One of the most frequently searched questions in research settings is: “How do you reconstitute BPC-157?”
This guide explains the general laboratory process, using examples with 5 mg and 10 mg vials.
⚠️ Important: This information is provided for educational and research purposes only. BPC-157 is not approved for human use.
What Does “Reconstitution” Mean?
-
BPC-157 is typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
-
Before use in research, it must be reconstituted with a diluent (commonly bacteriostatic water in lab settings).
-
The reconstitution process allows precise measurement of concentration for controlled experiments.
Example: Reconstituting a 5 mg BPC-157 Vial
-
Select Diluent Volume
-
Researchers often add 1 ml, 2 ml, or 5 ml of bacteriostatic water.
-
-
Calculate Concentration
-
5 mg BPC-157 + 1 ml water = 5 mg/ml.
-
5 mg BPC-157 + 2 ml water = 2.5 mg/ml.
-
5 mg BPC-157 + 5 ml water = 1 mg/ml.
-
-
Draw Up Diluent
-
Using a sterile syringe, slowly add the water down the side of the vial to avoid foaming.
-
-
Swirl Gently
-
Do not shake — swirl gently until dissolved.
-
Example: Reconstituting a 10 mg BPC-157 Vial
-
Select Diluent Volume
-
Researchers often add 2 ml, 4 ml, or 10 ml of bacteriostatic water.
-
-
Calculate Concentration
-
10 mg BPC-157 + 2 ml water = 5 mg/ml.
-
10 mg BPC-157 + 4 ml water = 2.5 mg/ml.
-
10 mg BPC-157 + 10 ml water = 1 mg/ml.
-
-
Swirl Gently
-
Same process as above.

FAQs
Can BPC-157 be shaken to mix?
No. Always swirl gently to avoid damaging peptide structure.
What diluent should be used?
Most studies report reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, but this is research-dependent.
How should reconstituted BPC-157 be stored?
Typically refrigerated at 2–8°C. Stability varies by study design.
Is this safe for human use?
No. BPC-157 is strictly for laboratory research use only.
