BPC-157 / TB-500
Body Protection Compound 157 with Thymosin Beta-4 fragment (the Wolverine blend)
The two main repair peptides in one vial
Quick answer
A 10 mg blend vial with 2 mL of water makes 5 mg/mL. A 500 mcg dose is 10 units. Most runs are 6 to 8 weeks, once a day or 5 days a week.
- Mix it
- 10 mg vial + 2 mL water
- Draw
- About 10 units on a U-100 syringe
- How often
- Once a day, or 4 to 5 days a week
- How it is given
- Under the skin.
- How long it lasts
- Mixed. BPC-157 clears fast, TB-500 stays active for days.
- Store it
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
What it is
Full name: Body Protection Compound 157 with Thymosin Beta-4 fragment (the Wolverine blend). Most people write it as BPC-157 / TB-500.
This blend puts BPC-157 and TB-500 in the same vial. TB-500 is studied for cell movement and new blood vessel growth, which is a different part of healing than BPC-157 covers.
What it is studied for
- Stubborn or older injuries
- Soft tissue repair
- Range of motion after injury
These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.
Dosing at a glance
These are the amounts used most often in research. Always start at the low end.
- Vial size
- 10 mg (5 mg of each)
- Dose range
- 500 mcg of the blend per dose
- How often
- Once a day, or 4 to 5 days a week
- Cycle length
- 6 to 8 weeks
- Mix with
- Bacteriostatic water (also called BAC water or reconstitution solution).
- Storage
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
Week by week
A common way researchers step the dose up. Stay at each step until it feels easy.
| When | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1-4 | 500 mcg once a day | Loading phase in most protocols. |
| Weeks 5-8 | 500 mcg 2-3 times a week | Maintenance. |
| After week 8 | Stop | Rest 4 weeks. |
This is a reference schedule, not a prescription. Start at the lowest step.
Mixing it
A common setup for BPC-157 / TB-500 is a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water.
That makes 5 mg per mL. A 500 mcg dose is about 10 units on a standard insulin syringe.
Bacteriostatic water is all you need here. Acetic acid is only for powders that will not dissolve. See the mixing guide.

- Injection site redness
- Tiredness in the first week
Stop and speak to a clinician if anything feels wrong. See the safety page.
Common questions
Why a blend instead of two vials?
One shot instead of two, and the mixing math only has to be done once.
Is the dose per peptide or total?
Total blend. A 500 mcg dose is roughly 250 mcg of each.
Can I use it on an old injury?
That is the usual reason people study it. Expect slower change than with a fresh injury.
