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.
Reconstitution Guide
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.
Use the dosing calculator to calculate your exact concentration (mcg per unit) and how many units to draw on your syringe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does BPC-157 work? ▾
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.
What are the 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
What is the typical dosing protocol? ▾
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.
How should BPC-157 be stored? ▾
Unreconstituted powder should be stored in a freezer or refrigerator away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C) and use within 4–6 weeks. Never freeze reconstituted peptides.
