BPC-157
High-purity synthetic pentadecapeptide for systemic cytoprotection and tissue repair research.

BPC-157 is a stable, highly researched synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids, modeled after a protective gastric protein. It is widely investigated in preclinical settings for its potential to promote rapid angiogenesis, accelerate ligament and muscle cell regeneration, and protect gastrointestinal mucosal linings.
- Typical dose
- 200 mcg to 500 mcg daily in animal/test models
- Half-life
- Approximately 4 hours in vivo
- Administration
- Subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, or intranasal administration (experimental)
- Research status
- Preclinical research use only. Not approved for human consumption.
What it is
BPC-157 (Body Protective Compound 157) is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from a gastric protein. It is studied for its role in angiogenesis (new blood-vessel formation), tissue remodeling, and gut protection.
Why researchers use it
- Supports tendon, ligament, and muscle repair
- Angiogenesis at injury sites accelerates healing
- Gut-protective effects; often studied for GI recovery
- Well-tolerated across preclinical studies
Dosing protocol (for research)
- Typical range: 250–500 mcg once or twice daily
- Injury protocols often run 4–6 weeks
- General recovery: 2–4 weeks
Preparation & injection
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; swirl gently, do not shake
- Store refrigerated, protected from light
- Subcutaneous injection, ideally close to the injury site when appropriate
- Rotate sites to prevent irritation
Safety notes
- Generally well-tolerated; mild redness or fatigue possible
- Sterility and supplier purity are critical
- Long-term human safety data remains limited
Reconstitution & concentration
Single vial contains 10 mg BPC-157.
- Reconstitute with 2 mL bacteriostatic water
- Final concentration: 5 mg/mL
- Each 0.1 mL (10 units on an insulin syringe) = 0.5 mg (500 mcg)
Common research dosing:
- Injury-specific: 250–500 mcg daily, injected near the injury site
- Systemic / GI: 500–1,000 mcg daily SubQ via rotation sites
- Oral (capsules/sublingual): 500 mcg–1 mg daily for gut-related studies
Duration: 2–6 weeks for acute injuries; 4–8 weeks for GI/systemic support.
Stacks
BPC-157 standalone is a foundation Injury Recovery option — the foundation peptide for recovery studies, frequently combined with TB-500 as the Wolverine Blend for synergistic healing. Researcher tips also note pairing with CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin for recovery-focused protocols.
