Reconstituting lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides is one of the most common questions we receive. This guide walks you through the exact process for BPC-157.
What You Will Need
- BPC-157 lyophilized vial (5mg)
- Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) — NOT sterile water
- Insulin syringe (1mL)
- Alcohol swabs
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Ensure everything is clean and at room temperature. Wash your hands thoroughly.
Step 2: Prepare the BAC Water
Wipe the top of the bacteriostatic water vial with an alcohol swab. Draw 2mL of BAC water into your insulin syringe.
Step 3: Add Water to the Peptide Vial
Wipe the top of the BPC-157 vial with an alcohol swab. Slowly inject the 2mL of BAC water into the vial, aiming the stream at the glass wall — not directly at the powder. Let it drip down gently.
Step 4: Mix Gently
Do NOT shake the vial. Instead, gently swirl it or roll it between your palms until the powder is fully dissolved. The solution should be clear.
Step 5: Store Properly
Store the reconstituted vial in the refrigerator at 2-8°C. Use within 30 days.
Dosing Calculation
With 5mg in 2mL of water, your concentration is 2,500mcg/mL. For a 250mcg dose, you would draw 10 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.1mL).
