How this is calculated
5mg × 1,000 = 5000 mcg total
5000 ÷ 2ml = 2500 mcg/ml
250 mcg ÷ 2500 = 0.1 ml
0.1 ml × 100 = 10 units

Step 01
Divide the total peptide content (mg × 1,000 to get mcg) by the volume of BAC water added (ml). The result is your concentration in mcg/ml.
Step 02
Divide your desired dose (mcg) by the concentration (mcg/ml). The result is the exact volume to draw in millilitres.
Step 03
Multiply the volume in ml by 100. A U-100 insulin syringe holds 1ml = 100 units, so 0.1ml = 10 units, 0.05ml = 5 units.
Worked example: 5mg BPC-157 + 2ml BAC water, 250mcg dose
The most common approach is 2ml, which gives a concentration of 2,500 mcg/ml. A 250mcg dose then equals 0.1ml (10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe). If you prefer smaller injection volumes, use 1ml for 5,000 mcg/ml — your dose volume halves to 5 units.
Concentration (mcg/ml) = [Vial amount in mg × 1,000] ÷ [ml of BAC water added]. For example: 5mg × 1,000 = 5,000 mcg ÷ 2ml = 2,500 mcg/ml.
A standard U-100 insulin syringe holds exactly 1ml = 100 units. To convert: Units = Volume in ml × 100. So 0.1ml = 10 units, 0.2ml = 20 units, 0.05ml = 5 units.
It depends on your reconstitution concentration. At 2,500 mcg/ml (5mg vial + 2ml BAC water): 250 ÷ 2,500 = 0.1ml = 10 units. At 5,000 mcg/ml (5mg + 1ml): 250 ÷ 5,000 = 0.05ml = 5 units.
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits microbial growth. This allows reconstituted peptides to be stored refrigerated for 4–6 weeks. Sterile water for injection has no preservative — use within 24 hours and discard the rest. For multi-dose vials, BAC water is strongly preferred.
Reconstituted peptides stored in BAC water typically remain viable for 4–6 weeks at 2–8°C (36–46°F), kept away from light. Label each vial with the date of reconstitution. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides — freeze-thaw cycles degrade the compound.
Draw the BAC water into your syringe. Insert the needle into the vial at an angle so it points toward the glass wall (not directly at the powder). Slowly release the water down the side of the vial. Never squirt water directly onto lyophilised peptide — it damages the molecular structure. Once added, gently roll the vial between your palms. Do not shake.
Store your vial concentration, track doses against it, and never lose track of what you injected or when.
