What is BPC-157?

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It has shown remarkable healing properties across multiple tissue types.

Mechanisms of Action

Angiogenesis Promotion

BPC-157 stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, delivering oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissue:

• Increases VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)
• Enhances blood flow to injured areas
• Accelerates tissue regeneration

Collagen Synthesis

Supports structural protein production:

• Strengthens tendons and ligaments
• Improves skin elasticity
• Enhances wound closure

Clinical Applications

Musculoskeletal Injuries

BPC-157 has shown effectiveness for:

• Tendon tears and tendinopathy
• Ligament sprains and strains
• Muscle tears and contusions
• Joint inflammation and arthritis
• Bone fractures

Gastrointestinal Health

Particularly effective for gut healing:

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Leaky gut syndrome
• Gastric ulcers
• Esophageal damage

Neurological Protection

Emerging research shows benefits for:

• Traumatic brain injury recovery
• Peripheral nerve damage
• Neurotransmitter balance

Dosing Protocols

Standard Dosing

• Systemic healing: 250-500 mcg twice daily
• Localized injury: 250-350 mcg near injury site
• Gut health: 250 mcg 2-3 times daily, oral or injectable

Administration Methods

• Subcutaneous: Most common, near injury site when possible
• Intramuscular: For deeper tissue injuries
• Oral: Effective for gastrointestinal issues

Expected Timeline

Results vary by injury type:

• Acute injuries: Noticeable improvement in 1-2 weeks
• Chronic conditions: 4-8 weeks for significant changes
• Gut healing: 2-4 weeks for symptom relief

Stacking Recommendations

BPC-157 works synergistically with:

• TB-500: Enhanced systemic healing
• GHK-Cu: Improved collagen quality
• Ipamorelin: Accelerated tissue regeneration

Safety Profile

BPC-157 has an excellent safety record:

• No known serious side effects
• Well-tolerated at therapeutic doses
• No hormonal disruption
• Can be used long-term if needed
