One of the most common questions from people starting a peptide protocol: how many vials do I actually need? Here's how to calculate it.
The Basic Formula
Total vials = (Daily dose in mg x Cycle days) divided by mg per vial
Example: BPC-157 at 500mcg/day for 12 weeks = 42mg total. At 5mg/vial = 8.4 vials. Round up to 10 and add 1–2 spares.
Common Protocol Examples
| Peptide | Typical Dose | 12-Week Vials | Recommended Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 500mcg/day | 8–10 | 10-vial Essential |
| TB-500 | 2.5mg twice/week | 4–6 | 6-vial Essential |
| Semaglutide | 0.5–2.4mg/week | 6–12 | 10 or 12-vial Essential |
| Ipamorelin/CJC | 300mcg 3x/day | 15–20 | 20-vial Essential |
