Calculate exact syringe units for your BPC-157 + TB-500 “Wolverine” blend vial. Enter each peptide's milligrams, BAC water volume, and target dose - the calculator shows the precise draw plus every other peptide's dose per injection. Covers 1:1 and 1:2 ratio blends with loading and maintenance protocols.
A 10 mg BPC-157 + 10 mg TB-500 Wolverine blend vial reconstituted with 4 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL of each component, or 25 mcg of each per unit on a 1.0 mL (100u) syringe. For a 250 mcg BPC-157 dose, draw the syringe to 10 units (0.10 mL). That draw carries 250 mcg of TB-500 with it — 0.25 mg of each component, 0.5 mg of total peptide. At that dose the vial provides about 40 doses.
The Wolverine stack combines BPC-157 (local repair via VEGF, nitric oxide, GH receptor pathways) with TB-500 (systemic repair via actin regulation and cell migration). The protocol typically uses a loading phase followed by a maintenance phase.
| Intensity | BPC-157 | TB-500 | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard loading | 500 mcg | 750-1,000 mcg | 1× daily | 2-4 weeks |
| Higher-dose loading | 500 mcg | 2,000 mcg | 2× daily | 1-2 weeks |
| Lower-dose loading | 250 mcg | 500 mcg | 1× daily | 4 weeks |
| BPC-157 | TB-500 | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg | 500 mcg | 1× daily | 4-8 weeks |
| 250 mcg | 750 mcg | 5 on / 2 off | 6-8 weeks |
For the complete protocol breakdown, see the Wolverine stack guide.
| Blend Vial | BAC Water | BPC Conc. | TB Conc. | 250 mcg BPC Draw |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg BPC + 5 mg TB | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 10 units (+ 250 mcg TB) |
| 5 mg BPC + 10 mg TB | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 5 mg/mL | 10 units (+ 500 mcg TB) |
| 10 mg BPC + 10 mg TB | 4 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 10 units (+ 250 mcg TB) |

Common blend ratios: 1:1 (equal mg BPC and TB) or 1:2 (double TB-500). The ratio determines how much TB-500 you receive per BPC-157 dose. Use the calculator above to see the exact per-peptide breakdown for your vial.
If using separate vials rather than a blend, TB-500 is typically supplied in 5 mg or 10 mg standalone vials.
| Vial | BAC Water | Conc. | 500 mcg Draw | 1 mg Draw | 2 mg Draw |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 10 units | 20 units | 40 units |
| 5 mg | 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 20 units | 40 units | 80 units |
| 10 mg | 2 mL | 5 mg/mL | 10 units | 20 units | 40 units |

Vial duration is determined by whichever peptide runs out first (in equal-ratio blends, both run out simultaneously). See how to store peptides.
A quality Wolverine blend should show two distinct HPLC peaks - BPC-157 at MW 1,419.53 Da and TB-500 at approximately 4,963 Da. Mass spec should confirm both weights. Check that the stated peptide quantities match - underdosing is more common in blends than single-peptide vials. Cross-reference with independent lab test results.
Peptigrity does not recommend a dose for either compound; the amounts below are those recorded in the studies named, shown with their evidence level. No published study has tested BPC-157 and TB-500 together, in humans or in animals, and no human dose-ranging study exists for BPC-157 or for TB-500. The only human pharmacokinetic data anywhere in TB-500's class comes from intravenous recombinant thymosin β4 at 0.05–25 µg/kg — a different molecule, a different route, and roughly three orders of magnitude from the milligram figures used subcutaneously.
| Compound | Route | Amount | Frequency | Evidence level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The combination | — | — | — | No study in any species; no combination dose-ranging data |
| BPC-157 | Subcutaneous | Community figures | Community | No human dose-ranging study exists |
| BPC-157 | Intravenous | 10 mg, single dose | Once | Uncontrolled human, n=2, 3-day observation, no PK curve |
| BPC-157 | Intra-articular | Not stated in our sources | — | Retrospective chart review, 17 treated, 16 followed |
| BPC-157 | Intravesical | Not stated in our sources | During cystoscopy | Single-arm, unblinded, 12 women |
| Thymosin β4 | Intravenous | 0.05–25 µg/kg | Single dose; and over ten days | Human Phase 1, n=54 and n=30 — a different molecule |
| “5–7 day half-life” for TB-500 | — | — | — | No source located for the figure |
Two rows deserve reading twice. The intravenous BPC-157 study enrolled two people who had both used BPC-157 previously, observed them for three days, and reported no pharmacokinetic curve. And the widely repeated 5–7 day half-life for TB-500 has no locatable source, which matters because dosing frequency is usually reasoned from a half-life. BPC-157's own half-life is under 30 minutes, with hepatic metabolism and renal clearance.
Concentration is peptide mass divided by diluent volume, and this part is deterministic. Neither compound has an approved label, so no regulator specifies a diluent volume for either, and the volume you choose is fixed the moment the water goes in. Two vials at the same concentration make every later conversion easier; two vials at different concentrations make one of them an error waiting to happen. The worked example below puts a 10 mg vial of each in 2 mL.
| Step | BPC-157 vial | TB-500 vial |
|---|---|---|
| Input: vial label | 10 mg | 10 mg |
| Input: diluent added | 2 mL | 2 mL |
| Calculation | 10 mg ÷ 2 mL | 10 mg ÷ 2 mL |
| Result | 5 mg/mL, or 5,000 mcg/mL | 5 mg/mL, or 5,000 mcg/mL |
At that concentration, the volume and units for an amount drawn from either vial are below. These are examples of a calculation, not recommendations about amounts.
| Amount drawn | Calculation | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 mcg | 0.25 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL | 0.05 mL | 5 units |
| 500 mcg | 0.5 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL | 0.1 mL | 10 units |
| 2 mg | 2 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL | 0.4 mL | 40 units |
A U-100 unit is 0.01 mL by definition, so units equal millilitres multiplied by 100. The resolution problem sits at the small end: the same 10 mg vial in 1 mL gives 10 mg/mL, where 500 mcg is 0.05 mL — 5 units, and in 3 mL gives 3.33 mg/mL, where 500 mcg is 0.15 mL — 15 units. Fix that with diluent volume before mixing rather than with a steadier hand afterwards, and never top up an open vial: every volume calculated before the top-up is then wrong, and nothing on the vial records it.
Two vials at the same concentration also empty at very different rates, because the figures in circulation put one compound in hundreds of micrograms and the other in milligrams. The table below is division — vial mass by amount per draw — and nothing about it is a recommendation.
| Vial | Label | Amount per draw | Calculation | Draws per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 10 mg | 500 mcg | 10 mg ÷ 0.5 mg | 20 |
| BPC-157 | 10 mg | 250 mcg | 10 mg ÷ 0.25 mg | 40 |
| TB-500 | 10 mg | 2 mg | 10 mg ÷ 2 mg | 5 |
That ratio determines when each vial runs out, how many stoppers get punctured, and what a reorder actually costs. The physical procedure is identical for both vials: swab the stopper, run the diluent down the glass wall, swirl rather than shake, and write the concentration and the date on each vial. See reconstituting peptides step by step and does shaking damage peptides.
No peer-reviewed stability or storage study of BPC-157 has been published, so every shelf-life figure in circulation for it is vendor-derived. Neither compound has an approved label, which means no regulator has set an in-use period for either vial — any “discard after N days” figure attached to a research vial has been borrowed from a compound that had a label, including the commonly cited 28-day window used in the vial-duration table above. A large amount of BPC-157 storage advice rests on methionine oxidation, and the sequence — Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val — contains no methionine, cysteine, tryptophan or tyrosine. General handling practice still applies; see how to store peptides.
A blend saves an injection and costs the verification, and its ratio is fixed by the seller. The table below compares the two arrangements on the points that change the arithmetic and the checks.
| Two vials | One blend vial | |
|---|---|---|
| Injections per session | Two | One |
| Purity index coverage | Each component indexed separately | Excluded from the index |
| Identity results needed | One per vial, on separate certificates | Two masses on one certificate — rarely provided |
| Changing one component | Draw a different volume | Not possible without discarding the vial |
| Ratio | Chosen by you at reconstitution | Fixed by the seller |
| Fill error | Affects one component | Affects the ratio and the total at once |
Combined with the draws-per-vial arithmetic above — where one component is drawn in hundreds of micrograms and the other in milligrams — a single ratio chosen by a seller is unlikely to match how either compound is actually being used. The two-component volume arithmetic is also handled by the blend calculator.
A two-vial arrangement puts twice as many punctures into the same finite set of sites, and the measured consequence of concentrating injections comes from approved labels rather than from stacking research: injection site reactions occurred in 25% of patients on tesamorelin's label, with the trial table recording 17% against 6% on placebo, and bremelanotide's label records 13.2% against 8.4%.
No trial in our fact base has compared rotation schemes for any peptide, so every “return to a site after N weeks” figure in circulation is convention rather than measurement. And no approved peptide label in our fact base specifies a needle gauge for a self-administered research vial, so Peptigrity does not publish one. General technique is in how to inject peptides and disposal in how to dispose of peptide syringes safely. Anything involving your own tissue, symptoms or medication is a clinician's question.
The Wolverine stack is BPC-157 + TB-500. BPC-157 acts locally through VEGF and NO pathways while TB-500 acts systemically through actin regulation. They target complementary tissue-repair mechanisms.
Use the calculator above. Enter your vial's peptide amounts, BAC water, and choose which peptide to dose based on. The calculator shows exact syringe units and per-peptide breakdown per draw.
Loading (2-4 weeks): higher doses to initiate repair - e.g. 500 mcg BPC + 750-2,000 mcg TB daily. Maintenance (4-8 weeks): reduced doses - e.g. 250 mcg BPC + 500 mcg TB daily.
Blend vials are convenient (single draw) but have a fixed ratio. Separate vials allow independent dose adjustment and different injection sites (BPC near injury, TB in abdomen).
6-12 weeks total: 2-4 weeks loading + 4-8 weeks maintenance. A 2-4 week break between cycles is commonly cited.
In a blend vial, both are in the same draw - injected together by definition. From separate vials, some protocols inject BPC-157 near the injury and TB-500 in the abdomen for combined local + systemic effect.
Community consensus says yes - they target complementary repair pathways. BPC-157 is local (VEGF, NO) while TB-500 is systemic (actin, cell migration). No controlled human comparison trials exist.
