Mixing it, step by step

Step by step

Reconstitution steps

Every step below uses the numbers you entered above.

1
Wipe both stoppers
Swab the rubber tops of the 10 mg BPC-157 — Injury vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with fresh alcohol pads. Let them air dry for a few seconds.
2
Draw 2 mL of BAC water
Pull 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into a reconstitution syringe (usually a 3 mL syringe with a 21g needle).
3
Add water slowly, down the side
Inject the water against the inside wall of the vial, don't blast it directly onto the powder. This protects the peptide from shear damage.
4
Swirl, don't shake
Gently swirl until the powder is fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Never shake, foaming denatures the peptide.
5
Draw 10 units on a 1 mL syringe
On your 100-unit (1 mL) insulin syringe, pull the plunger back until the rubber tip lines up with 10, that's your 500 mcg dose. Tap out any air bubbles, then inject as directed.
6
Store refrigerated
Cap the vial and store at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for 3–4 weeks refrigerated.

What to expect, week by week

Week 1

Subtle. You may notice slightly less pain or better range of motion. Don't push injuries yet.

Weeks 2–4

Clear improvement in pain and tissue tolerance. Begin controlled loading of the injured area.

Weeks 4–8

Peak repair phase. Function returns. Keep dose consistent — skipping days slows the curve.

Post cycle

Gains generally stick if you also fixed the underlying mechanics (form, load management, mobility).

Side effects to watch

Mild injection site warmth or redness
Rare dizziness or lightheadedness early in the cycle
Occasional headache in the first week
No suppression of natural hormone production
