BPC-157

  • What is BPC-157?

    BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It's known for its remarkable healing properties and is extensively researched for tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and gastrointestinal protection. Not FDA approved and prohibited by WADA (added 2022) under SO: Non-Approved Substances - no TUE available for athletes.

  • Accelerated healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, and localised tissue repair.
    Superior bioavailability for targeted healing with anti-inflammatory effects.

  • Injectable BPC-157 provides direct tissue targeting and higher local concentrations. Promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), enhances collagen synthesis, modulates growth factor expression, and provides localised protection against tissue damage.

  • 250-500 mcg

  • 1-2x daily

  • Belly, thigh, arm (near injury for localized healing)

  • Empty stomach preferred

    Injectable BPC-157 is most effective on empty stomach. For injury healing, inject as close to the injury site as possible (subcutaneous). Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue irritation.

  • 1-3 weeks for healing, 3-7 days for inflammation

  • Fridge 2-6°C

  • 4-12 weeks

  • Molecular Weight
    1,419.53 Da
    Chain Length
    15 amino acids
    Amino Acid Sequence
    Gly-Lys-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val

  • Commonly cycled 4-12 weeks on, 4+ weeks off in research protocols. No loading phase is typically used. Tapering is generally not reported as necessary, though some gradually reduce over the final week on longer

  • Wound Healing -Most Effective
    Tendon Healing
    Accelerated tendon-to-bone healing and improved biomechanical properties in injury models. Most effective with localized injection.
    Muscle Recovery
    Enhanced muscle healing and reduced recovery time following crush injuries and surgical procedures with direct tissue targeting.
    Angiogenesis
    Promotes blood vessel formation and improves vascularization in healing tissues through localized delivery.

    Neurological- Effective
    Neuroprotection
    Protective effects against various neurotoxic agents and ischemic brain injury models with systemic administration.
    Spinal Cord Injury
    Improved functional recovery and reduced tissue damage in spinal cord injury studies via injection.
    Peripheral Nerves
    Enhanced peripheral nerve regeneration and functional recovery after injury with localized treatment.

  • * Week 1-2: Reduced inflammation and pain at injection site
    * Week 2-4: Improved healing rate and tissue repair
    * Week 4-8: Maximum localised healing benefits
    * Side effects: Mild injection site redness or irritation
    * Most effective for: Tendon, ligament, muscle injuries

  • May cause mild injection site reactions
    Consult doctor if on blood thinners due to
    angiogenesis effects
    Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding
    WADA prohibited (SO: Non-Approved
    Substances) - not for competitive athletes
