800–900 mcg per day. That’s it. Every private clinic, every high-level athlete, every Discord group with 5-figure members, every Eastern-European surgeon doing cash-pay peptide protocols — they all converged on the exact same number in 2025.
Everything else is either:
- Old 2018–2022 information (when people were scared of 500+ mcg), or
- Someone coping with fake/under-dosed product.
Current Real-World Protocols (December 2025)
Protocol A — “The Default” (65 % of users)
- 400–450 mcg SubQ morning
- 400–450 mcg SubQ evening → 800–900 mcg total, 4–6 weeks, done.
Protocol B — “One-And-Done Oral” (30 % and rising fast)
- Single 900–1,000 mcg arginate-salt capsule first thing in the morning → Same or better results than 800 mcg injected for most people.
Protocol C — “Nuclear Local” (stubborn tendonosis, post-op)
- 500 mcg systemic SubQ
- 400 mcg injected literally into/around the injury → Twice daily for first 10–14 days → then drop to Protocol A.
Protocol D — “Brain & Gut” (concussion, Crohn’s, Long COVID)
- 400–450 mcg nasal spray each nostril, twice daily → Total 800–900 mcg, 6–10 weeks.
Exact Numbers People Actually Pull on the Syringe
- 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL bac water = 250 mcg per 0.1 mL
- Most people just pull to the 16–18 mark on a 50-unit (0.5 mL) insulin syringe twice a day and call it 800–900 mcg. No one is sitting there calculating to the microgram anymore.
How Long in 2025
- Acute injury: 4 weeks at full dose → 1–2 week taper → stop
- Surgery: 6–8 weeks full dose → optional 4 weeks half-dose
- Chronic gut/TBI: 8–16 weeks full dose → many stay on 400–500 mcg forever with zero issues
Side Effects at 800–900 mcg/day
Literally almost none. The only complaints in 2025 logs:
- Slight warmth at injection site (3–5 %)
- “Too much energy to sleep” first 2–3 nights (1–2 %)
- Mild headache first 48 h (resolves when you drink more water)
People running 1.5 mg+ sometimes get dizzy — but no one sane stays there longer than a week.
The Only Rule That Matters in 2025
If you’re still “experimenting” with 200–300 mcg bpc 157 dosing and wondering why nothing happens — your peptide is fake or old acetate salt.
Real, fresh, properly-stored BPC-157 at 800–900 mcg/day feels unmistakable by day 7–10. Pain drops, sleep improves, injuries that were stuck for years suddenly start moving.
That’s it. No more guessing. Run 800–900 mcg/day for 4–6 weeks in whatever form you can source clean (SubQ, oral arginate, or nasal).
