How It Works
BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and upregulates growth factor expression including VEGF, which accelerates the healing cascade in injured tissues. Research suggests it also has cytoprotective effects on the GI tract and may modulate the nitric oxide system.
Key Research Findings
- Demonstrated accelerated tendon and ligament healing in animal models
- Shown to protect and heal GI mucosal lining in studies
- May support nerve repair and reduce inflammation systemically
- Studies suggest neuroprotective properties and gut-brain axis benefits
Common Research Protocols
Research Dosing Range
Typical dosing in research ranges from 250 mcg to 500 mcg administered once or twice daily, either subcutaneously near the site of injury or systemically. Cycles commonly run 4–6 weeks with a period of rest between cycles.

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute BPC-157 for research use:
- Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
- Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
- Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
- Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
- Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.
