BPC-157

What is BPC-157?

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic peptide of 15 amino acids derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. It has pronounced regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, widely used by athletes and people with musculoskeletal injuries.

Effects

• Accelerates healing of tendons and ligaments
• Reduces joint inflammation
• Protects the gastrointestinal mucosa
• May have neuroprotective effects

Injection Protocol

Systemic injection: 250–500 mcg subcutaneously once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach.

Local injection: Inject as close to the injury site as possible. 200–300 mcg twice daily.

Cycle: 4–8 weeks with a 2–4 week break.

Vial Reconstitution

Reconstituting a 5 mg vial with 2 ml bacteriostatic water gives 2500 mcg/ml:

• 250 mcg = 0.1 ml = 10 units (U-100)
• 500 mcg = 0.2 ml = 20 units (U-100)

Storage

Lyophilized powder: room temperature up to 3 months or refrigerator up to 2 years. After reconstitution: refrigerate, use within 7–10 days.

Important Warnings

• Not an FDA-approved drug — for research purposes only.
• Tissue repair requires adequate caloric intake — undereating slows regeneration.
• Contraindicated in pregnant women and those with active cancer.
