Peptide pricing varies wildly between suppliers. A 5mg BPC-157 vial costs $25-$80 depending on source. Over a 6-week protocol, that's the difference between $75 and $240.

This calculator shows you cost per dose, cost per week, and total protocol cost. Enter your peptide price, vial size, and weekly dosage to see if you're overpaying or getting a deal.

How cost per dose works:

Example: $40 for 5mg BPC-157 vial, taking 350mcg daily

  • 5mg = 5,000mcg total

  • 350mcg per dose = 14.3 doses per vial

  • $40 ÷ 14.3 doses = $2.80 per dose

  • Daily dosing = $2.80/day × 7 = $19.60 per week

  • 6-week protocol = $117.60 total

Compare that to $80 vial from expensive supplier:

  • Same math = $5.59 per dose

  • $39.13 per week

  • $234.78 for 6 weeks

You just saved $117 by shopping smart.

Melanotan II pricing:

  • 10mg vial: $15-$40

  • Average fair price: $20-$30 for 10mg

  • One of the cheaper peptides

General pricing rules:

Budget tier ($): Likely underdosed or questionable quality. Risk not worth savings.

Fair tier ($$): Sweet spot. Good quality, reasonable price. Most reputable suppliers.

Premium tier ($$$): Overpriced. You're paying for marketing, not better peptides.

Scam tier ($$$$): Avoid. Charging 3-5x fair market value. Preying on uninformed buyers.

Total costs for common peptide protocols

BPC-157 injury recovery (6 weeks):

  • Dose: 400mcg daily

  • Total needed: 16.8mg (3-4 vials of 5mg)

  • Budget cost: $90-$120

  • Fair cost: $120-$160

  • Premium cost: $200-$280

TB-500 + BPC-157 stack (6 weeks):

  • BPC-157: 400mcg daily (needs 16.8mg)

  • TB-500: 5mg twice weekly (needs 60mg total)

  • Total budget: $250-$350

  • Total fair: $350-$500

  • Total premium: $600-$900

Semaglutide weight loss (16 weeks titrated to 1mg):

  • Weeks 1-4: 0.25mg weekly = 1mg total

  • Weeks 5-8: 0.5mg weekly = 2mg total

  • Weeks 9-12: 1mg weekly = 4mg total

  • Weeks 13-16: 1mg weekly = 4mg total

  • Total needed: 11mg (3 vials of 5mg)

  • Budget cost: $180-$240

  • Fair cost: $240-$330

  • Premium cost: $390-$450

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (12 weeks):

  • CJC: 2mg weekly = 24mg total

  • Ipa: 600mcg daily = 50.4mg total

  • Total budget: $280-$400

  • Total fair: $400-$600

  • Total premium: $700-$1,100

Cost-saving strategies:

Buy larger vials:

  • 10mg vials usually better per-mg price than 5mg

  • Only if you'll use it before expiration

Bulk purchases:

  • Many suppliers offer 10-20% off for buying multiple vials

  • Stock up on peptides you use regularly

Avoid "kits" and "bundles":

  • Pre-packaged kits often marked up 30-50%

  • Buy components separately

Don't chase cheapest:

  • Under-market pricing = quality concerns

  • Fake peptides waste your money and time

  • Mid-tier pricing is the smart play

What affects peptide pricing

Vial size markup:

Per-mg cost decreases with larger vials:

  • 2mg vial: $25 = $12.50 per mg

  • 5mg vial: $40 = $8.00 per mg

  • 10mg vial: $70 = $7.00 per mg

Always calculate cost per milligram, not just vial price.

Purity levels:

95% purity: Budget option, acceptable for most research 98% purity: Standard, what most suppliers provide 99%+ purity: Premium, minimal practical difference from 98%

Don't overpay for 99.5% vs 98%. The 1.5% difference doesn't justify 50% price increase.

COA (Certificate of Analysis):

Third-party lab testing costs money, reflected in price:

  • No COA: Cheaper, but questionable

  • Generic COA: Moderate price

  • Batch-specific COA: Slightly premium

Batch-specific COA worth small premium for peace of mind.

Domestic vs international:

Domestic shipping (US-based):

  • Higher prices (+20-40%)

  • Faster shipping (2-5 days)

  • Less customs risk

  • Better customer service

International shipping (China):

  • Lower prices

  • Slower shipping (2-4 weeks)

  • Customs seizure risk

  • Communication challenges

Most people prefer domestic for peace of mind despite higher cost.

Brand name vs generic:

Some suppliers charge premium for "pharmaceutical grade" labeling. It's marketing. The peptide is the peptide. Don't pay 2x for a fancy label.

How much should I expect to spend on a typical peptide cycle?

Costs vary widely by peptide and protocol length. A basic BPC-157 cycle (8 weeks, twice daily) costs $150-250. TB-500 loading phase (4 weeks) runs $120-180. Growth hormone stacks can cost $300-500+ monthly. Weight loss peptides like semaglutide range from $200-400/month. Budget for both peptides and supplies.
