BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It is renowned for its profound regenerative and cytoprotective properties. BPC-157 works by upregulating growth hormone receptors in tendon fibroblasts, increasing nitric oxide production (angiogenesis), and modulating the inflammatory response. It accelerates the healing of soft tissues (tendons, ligaments, muscles), repairs the gut lining (leaky gut, ulcers), and protects the liver and brain from toxic insults. Unlike many peptides, it is orally bioavailable (stable in gastric acid), though subcutaneous injection is often preferred for localized injuries. It is widely used by athletes for injury recovery and by individuals seeking to improve gut health.

BPC-157 is versatile and can be administered subcutaneously or orally. For injury recovery (tendons/ligaments), subcutaneous injection near the injury site or systematically is common. Typical dosage is 250–500 mcg per day. For acute injuries, dosing 250 mcg twice daily (morning and evening) is often recommended. For gut health, oral administration (capsules or stable liquid) of 500 mcg daily is effective. Cycles typically last 4–12 weeks. BPC-157 is often stacked with TB-500 for synergistic healing effects.
