How the BPC-157 and TB-500 Blend concentration calculation works
Concentration is the entered vial amount divided by the resulting solution volume. In this arithmetic example, 10 mg in 2 mL is 5 mg/mL. On a U-100 insulin syringe one unit represents 0.01 mL, so this example has 50 mcg per unit. An entered amount of 500 mcg therefore corresponds to 10 units.
The tables illustrate conversions, not a treatment schedule. They cannot determine whether a product is approved or suitable for human use. Follow product-specific instructions from your qualified prescriber or pharmacist for preparation, dose, device, and storage.
BPC-157 and TB-500 Blend conversion examples (10 mg in 2 mL)
| Dose | Units | mL | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 mcg | 10 | 0.1 | 20 |
| 1 mg | 20 | 0.2 | 10 |
Example amounts at 500 mcg per dose
| Vial | Water | Concentration | Units per dose | Doses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 10 | 20 |
| 20 mg | 2 mL | 10 mg/mL | 5 | 40 |
Each amount shows its unit; the form starts in mg. For a fixed amount and dose, doubling the resulting solution volume halves the concentration and doubles the calculated units. The arithmetic number of doses is unchanged. This relationship does not establish an appropriate preparation volume or syringe for a product.
Worked example
10 mg / 2 mL = 5 mg/mL = 5,000 mcg/mL. One unit = 0.01 mL = 50 mcg. 500 mcg / 50 mcg per unit = 10 units. The vial holds 10,000 / 500 = 20 doses, which at 7 per week is about 20 days.

The FDA's report on compounded semaglutide dosing errors explains why concentration, units, and measurement instructions need to be confirmed with a health care provider or compounder.
