BPC-157 Peptide

How is BPC-157 administered?

Subcutaneous Injection (SubQ)

• Recommended Route: SubQ injections are commonly used for BPC-157. The peptide is injected just beneath the skin.
• Procedure: Clean the injection site, use a sterile needle, and inject the appropriate dosage subcutaneously.
• Advantages: Easy self-administration, consistent absorption.
• Disadvantages: May cause mild discomfort at the injection site.

Intramuscular Injection (IM)

• Recommended Route: IM injections deliver BPC-157 directly into the muscle tissue.
• Procedure: Sterilize the injection site, use a sterile needle, and inject the peptide into the muscle.
• Advantages: Faster absorption than SubQ.
• Disadvantages: Slightly more challenging to self-administer.

Oral Administration

• Recommended Route: Oral BPC-157 is less common but still used.
• Procedure: Swallow the peptide in capsule or tablet form.
• Advantages: Convenient, no need for injections.
• Disadvantages: Lower bioavailability; may be less effective.

Topical Application

• Recommended Route: Rarely used, but some formulations allow topical application.
• Procedure: Apply BPC-157 gel or cream directly to the skin.
• Advantages: Non-invasive.
• Disadvantages: Limited absorption through the skin.

Intravenous Injection (IV):

• Recommended Route: IV administration is less common due to safety concerns.
• Procedure: Administer BPC-157 directly into a vein.
• Advantages: Rapid absorption.
• Disadvantages: Requires professional administration.

What are the recommended dosages for BPC-157?

Subcutaneous Injection (SubQ)

• Initial Dosage: Start with 250-500 mcg per day.
• Maintenance: Gradually increase to 500-750 mcg daily (split into 2-3 injections).

Intramuscular Injection (IM)

• Initial Dosage: Begin with 250-500 mcg injected into the muscle once or twice daily.
• Maintenance: Increase to 500-750 mcg daily if needed.

Oral Administration

• Dosage Range: Typically between 250-500 mcg per day.
• Split Doses: Divide into two doses.

What are the potential side effects of BPC-157?

• Nausea
• Headaches
• Digestive Issues
• Fatigue
• Appetite Changes
• Fluid Retention
• Other effects such as dizziness, kidney stones, and fluctuations in blood sugar levels, have also been reported.

BPC-157 effectiveness

Wound Repair

A review published in 2015 suggests that BPC-157 can promote wound healing. The study also suggests that this peptide increases the rate of fibroblast movements into damaged tissue, which helps facilitate faster wound healing. The research also suggests that BPC-157 could be a beneficial topical treatment for skin chemical burns, tissue formation, collagen deposition, and so on [2].

Another research suggested that BPC 157 could potentially induce complete healing of rectovaginal fistulas in rats, which is significant for future clinical applications [3].

Tendon Healing

Studies showed that healing tissues showed increased levels of bFGF, EFG, and VEGF using BPC-157. This means that the peptide can directly or indirectly increase hormone levels and growth factors to help tissue healing [4].

Cancer

A 2020 study shows that the peptide decreases inflammatory cytokines, which helps stunt some of the pathways leading to cancer growth [5].
