BPC-157
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protein found in gastric juice. It has shown significant regenerative properties in preclinical studies, particularly for tendons, ligaments, and gut tissue.
Quick facts
- Half-life
- ~4 hours
- Administration
- Subcutaneous / Oral
- Primary use
- Tissue healing, gut repair
How it works
BPC-157 appears to upregulate growth hormone receptors and promote angiogenesis — the formation of new blood vessels — which accelerates tissue repair. It also modulates nitric oxide production and has demonstrated gastroprotective effects.
Reported benefits
- Accelerated tendon and ligament healing
- Gut lining repair and gastroprotection
- Reduced inflammation at injury sites
- Potential neuroprotective effects
Typical dosing protocol
Dosing
200–500 mcg per day, split into 1–2 injections near the injury site or subcutaneously
Cycle length
4–8 weeks
