BPC-157
(Body Protection Compound 157)

BPC-157 is a powerful healing peptide known for its remarkable ability to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Originally derived from a gastric protein, it promotes the regeneration of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even the gut lining. It enhances blood flow to injured areas, speeds recovery, and protects organs from damage. BPC-157 is especially popular among athletes and individuals recovering from surgery or chronic injuries. It also supports gut health, making it beneficial for conditions like IBS or leaky gut. Whether used alone or with other regenerative peptides, BPC-157 offers rapid, comprehensive healing—restoring function, reducing pain, and improving overall well-being.

Benefits

Healing & Recovery
​

  • Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints

  • Enhances wound and surgical recovery

  • Promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)

  • Improves collagen production and tissue regeneration

 
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
​

  • Reduces chronic and acute inflammation

  • Helps manage inflammatory conditions (e.g., arthritis)

 
Gut Health
​

  • Supports healing of the gut lining

  • Aids in IBS, leaky gut syndrome, ulcers, and other GI issues

  • Protects against NSAID-induced gut damage

 
Neuroprotection
​

  • Encourages nerve regeneration

  • May help with brain injuries, neuropathies, and mood regulation

 
Pain Reduction
​

  • Alleviates pain from injury or inflammation

  • Can reduce reliance on pain medications

 
Other Benefits
​

  • Enhances blood flow to injured areas

  • Supports immune modulation

  • May help with organ protection (e.g., liver, heart)

Side Effects

Commonly Reported (Rare and Mild):
​

  • Mild injection site irritation (redness, swelling, or discomfort)

  • Temporary dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Mild nausea or upset stomach

  • Headache

  • Fatigue or unusual tiredness

 
Less Common / Theoretical Risks:
​

  • Allergic reaction (very rare; may include itching, rash, or swelling)

  • Hormonal disruption (minimal evidence but theoretically possible with long-term use)

  • Potential for over-accelerated healing, which may lead to scar tissue formation in some cases

 
Important Notes:
​

  • No major toxicity has been observed in animal or early human studies.

  • Long-term human safety data is limited, as it's still considered investigational in many countries.

  • Use should be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional.

Dosages

Recommended Dosage for BPC-157 (Subcutaneous or Intramuscular Use):
​
Typical Dosage Range:
​

  • 250 mcg to 500 mcg, 1–2 times daily

 
Duration:
​

  • 2 to 4 weeks for acute injuries

  • Up to 12 weeks for chronic conditions (with medical supervision)

 
Administration Guidelines:
​

  • Injection Site: As close as possible to the injury (localised subcutaneous or intramuscular)

  • Reconstitution: With bacteriostatic water; store refrigerated once mixed

  • Needle Size: 29–31 gauge insulin syringe (for subcutaneous use)

 
Common Protocol Example:
​

  • 500 mcg daily, split into two 250 mcg doses (morning and evening)

  • Take on an empty stomach if using oral (less common and less bioavailable)
