Introduction

Proper dosing is critical for achieving desired outcomes with BPC-157 and TB-500 while minimizing potential risks. This guide provides comprehensive dosing information based on available research and practitioner experience.

BPC-157 Dosing

Standard Dosing Range

  • Conservative: 200-250 mcg per day
  • Moderate: 250-500 mcg per day
  • Aggressive: 500-750 mcg per day (rarely needed)

Administration Methods

Route Dose Frequency Notes
Subcutaneous 250-500 mcg 1-2x daily Most common, systemic effects
Intramuscular 250-500 mcg 1-2x daily Near injury site preferred
Oral (stable analog) 250-500 mcg 1-2x daily Emerging option, gut-focused

Timing Considerations

  • Morning and evening dosing for split protocols
  • Can be taken with or without food
  • Consistent timing recommended
  • Duration: 4-12 weeks typically

TB-500 Dosing

Loading Phase (Weeks 1-6)

  • Standard: 2.0-2.5 mg twice weekly
  • Total weekly dose: 4-5 mg
  • Purpose: Achieve therapeutic tissue levels

Maintenance Phase (After Loading)

  • Standard: 2.0-2.5 mg once weekly
  • Or: 1.0-1.25 mg twice weekly
  • Duration: As needed for recovery

Administration

  • Subcutaneous injection most common
  • Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water
  • Can inject anywhere (not site-specific)
  • Store reconstituted solution refrigerated

Combined Protocol Example

Week BPC-157 TB-500 Notes
1-2 250mcg 2x/day 2.5mg 2x/week Loading phase
3-6 250mcg 2x/day 2.5mg 2x/week Continued loading
7-12 250mcg 2x/day 2.5mg 1x/week Maintenance

Reconstitution Guidelines

BPC-157

  • Add 2ml bacteriostatic water to 5mg vial
  • Concentration: 2,500 mcg/ml
  • 10 units on insulin syringe = 250 mcg

TB-500

  • Add 2ml bacteriostatic water to 5mg vial
  • Concentration: 2,500 mcg/ml
  • 100 units (1ml) = 2.5 mg

Safety Notes

  • Start conservative and titrate up
  • Monitor for unusual reactions
  • Proper sterile technique essential
  • Quality sourcing critical for accurate dosing

Conclusion

Individualized dosing based on goals, body weight, and response is ideal. These protocols provide a framework that can be adjusted based on individual needs.
