BPC-157

The Swiss army knife of healing peptides. Gut, joints, tendons, inflammation. One-off cycles when something needs healing.

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in stomach acid. It calms gut inflammation (helps with reflux, IBS, gastritis), speeds tendon and ligament healing, reduces systemic inflammation, and shows mild neuroprotective effects in the literature. One of the most versatile soft-tissue tools available.

Dose

50 mcg once daily as a minimum, or ideally 250 mcg twice daily for active healing. Inject near the injured area or in the abdomen.

Reconstitute

10 mg vial + 2 mL bac water = 5 mg/mL. 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe = 50 mcg; 5 units = 250 mcg.

Schedule

Daily (split AM/PM at the higher dose) for 4–8 weeks, then off 4 weeks. Run when something needs healing.

Half-life

~4 hours (effects outlast the molecule).

Timing

Anytime. No food restriction.

Risks

Very benign in research. Occasional short-term fatigue or local injection irritation. Long-term human data is limited.
