  • Peptide costs vary by supplier, purity, and region. The figures below reflect typical US market pricing for research-grade peptides in early 2026.
  • Price per vial
  • $25-40 (5 mg)
  • $35-60 (5 mg)
  • Daily/weekly cost
  • ~$2-5/day (at 250-500 mcg/day)
  • ~$7-15/week (at 5 mg/week)
  • 8-week cycle cost
  • $80-160
  • $120-240
  • Stacked (both) monthly
  • $100-200 combined
  • Bacteriostatic water
  • $10-15 per 30 mL vial
  • Same
  • Syringes (100-pack)
  • $15-20
  • BPC-157 is the cheaper peptide per month. TB-500 costs more because the doses are measured in milligrams rather than micrograms. A single 5 mg vial of BPC-157 lasts 10-20 days at standard dosing. A single 5 mg vial of TB-500 lasts about one week during the loading phase.
  • The combined stack runs $100-200 per month. For a typical 8-week protocol addressing a moderate tendon injury, expect a total spend of $200-400. Compare that to a single cortisone injection ($150-300 plus the office visit), which masks pain without promoting structural repair.
  • Cost-saving tip. Buy BPC-157 and TB-500 in 10 mg vials when available. Larger vials reduce the per-milligram price by 15-25%. Store unreconstituted vials in the freezer for maximum shelf life. See how to store peptides and how long do reconstituted peptides last for storage protocols.
