Recovery stack

BPC-157 + TB-500 stack calculator

The BPC-157 + TB-500 combination is the most commonly discussed recovery stack. The two are calculated separately — each vial has its own concentration and draw — and only the schedule is combined. Use the per-compound reference tables below, then calculate your exact draw on each compound's page.

Per-compound reconstitution

Each compound is calculated on its own — different vials, different concentrations, different draws. Use these references, then run your exact numbers on each compound's calculator.

BPC-157 reference

U100 units to draw for each common BPC-157 dose, by vial size, reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Change the water volume in the calculator above to recompute for your own setup.

VialConcentration200 mcg250 mcg500 mcg

10 mg5 mg/mL4 u(0.04 mL)5 u(0.05 mL)10 u(0.1 mL)

Educational reference only — not a dose recommendation. Units assume a U100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL on U-100). Always confirm against your own vial, diluent, and clinician or pharmacy instructions.

TB-500 reference

U100 units to draw for each common TB-500 dose, by vial size, reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Change the water volume in the calculator above to recompute for your own setup.

How the two schedules overlap

BPC-157 is short-acting and usually run on a daily or twice-daily schedule, while TB-500 is long-acting and often run as a higher weekly loading amount for the first few weeks, then a lower weekly maintenance amount. Because their cadences differ, you calculate and draw each one on its own — never mix them in a single syringe based on a combined number.

A typical overlapping block runs both compounds for 4–6 weeks: BPC-157 daily, TB-500 once or twice weekly. Tracking two reconstitution dates and two doses-remaining counts at once is exactly the kind of thing that gets miscounted on paper.

  • Calculate BPC-157 and TB-500 separately — different vials, different concentrations
  • BPC-157: daily/EOD; TB-500: weekly loading then weekly maintenance
  • Keep two beyond-use dates and two doses-remaining counts in view

Why you never combine the math

It is tempting to add the two vial amounts together and draw once, but that produces the wrong dose for both compounds. Each vial is reconstituted to its own concentration, so the mL that delivers your TB-500 dose will deliver the wrong amount of BPC-157 and vice versa. The reference tables above show each compound's units independently; that is the correct way to run the stack.

  • Two vials = two concentrations = two separate draws
  • Combining the totals over-doses one compound and under-doses the other
  • If a single blended vial is genuinely co-lyophilised, calculate from its labelled total instead

Frequently asked questions

Can I draw BPC-157 and TB-500 in the same syringe?+
Some people do combine two already-reconstituted solutions in one syringe for convenience, but you must calculate each compound's volume separately first, because the two vials have different concentrations. This page and the per-compound calculators give you each draw independently; combining is a handling choice, not a math shortcut.
What is a common BPC-157 + TB-500 schedule?+
A frequently described block runs BPC-157 daily and TB-500 once or twice weekly for 4–6 weeks, then tapers. This page does not recommend a protocol — it shows the reconstitution math for each compound so whatever schedule you have been given is easy to draw accurately.
How many doses will each vial last for the stack?+
It depends on each compound's per-dose amount and vial size. Because BPC-157 is dosed daily and TB-500 weekly, the BPC-157 vial usually empties faster. Calculate each on its own page to see the doses-remaining count, then plan reorders around the shorter of the two.
