Dosage by Goal
| Goal | Route | Daily Dose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tendon/Ligament healing | SubQ injection near site | 250–500 mcg | 8–12 weeks |
| Muscle injury | Injection near site | 250–500 mcg | 4–8 weeks |
| Gut / GI healing | Oral capsules | 500–1000 mcg | 4–12 weeks |
| Joint pain / arthritis | SubQ near joint | 250–500 mcg | 8–12 weeks |
| General recovery | Either | 200–400 mcg | 8 weeks |
| Neuroprotection | Either | 250–500 mcg | 8–12 weeks |
| Bone healing | Systemic subQ | 500 mcg | 8–16 weeks |
Dosage by Body Weight
Some researchers prefer to dose by body weight. A common protocol uses 2–4 mcg per kg of body weight per day.
| Body Weight | Low Dose (2 mcg/kg) | High Dose (4 mcg/kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg (132 lbs) | 120 mcg/day | 240 mcg/day |
| 75 kg (165 lbs) | 150 mcg/day | 300 mcg/day |
| 90 kg (198 lbs) | 180 mcg/day | 360 mcg/day |
| 110 kg (242 lbs) | 220 mcg/day | 440 mcg/day |
Cycling Protocol
Most experienced users follow a cycle to prevent potential desensitization and as a precautionary measure:
- Standard cycle: 8–12 weeks on, 4 weeks off
- Acute injury protocol: 4–6 weeks on at 500 mcg/day, then reassess
- Maintenance protocol: 5 days on, 2 days off for long-term use
When to Take BPC-157
- Oral: Take on an empty stomach for best absorption (30 minutes before meals)
- Injectable: Can be administered at any time; morning is preferred by most users
- For sleep: Some users take BPC-157 before bed to take advantage of growth hormone release during sleep
First-Time User Protocol
- Week 1: Start at 200 mcg/day to assess tolerance
- Week 2–3: Increase to 300–400 mcg/day if no adverse effects
- Week 4–12: Continue at 400–500 mcg/day
- After 12 weeks: Take 4 weeks off before resuming
