BPC-157

BPC-157 is a 15 amino acid peptide based on a protein found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most researched recovery peptides, studied for tendons, ligaments, muscle, and the lining of the gut.

Recovery Peptide

Injectable Vial

Every BPC-157 prescription we fill is compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy, one patient at a time, and labeled with your directions. It comes as a 15 mg multi-dose vial for subcutaneous injection. It is also available paired with TB-500 as two separate vials, each given as its own injection. Your prescriber decides the dose and schedule that fit you.

Patient information

What is this medication used for?

• It is prescribed to support recovery of tendons, ligaments, and muscle.

• It is prescribed to support the lining of the stomach and intestines.

• It may be prescribed for other reasons.

Before you start

• Tell your prescriber about all of your medications, supplements, and health conditions.

• Tell your prescriber if you have ever had cancer.

• Tell your prescriber if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

• If you compete in a tested sport, check your organization’s rules. BPC-157 is prohibited in tested sports.

Using your BPC-157

• Use exactly as written on your prescription label.

• Injectable vial: inject just under the skin as directed. Use a new needle each time and rotate injection sites. Our pharmacist will show you how.

• BPC-157 + TB-500 pair: you will receive two separate vials. Give each as its own injection as directed.

• Store as directed on your label and keep out of reach of children.

Possible side effects

Many people have no side effects or only minor ones. Call your prescriber or get medical help if any of these bother you or do not go away:

• Redness, itching, or soreness where you inject

• Nausea

Mechanism of Action

BPC-157 appears to work through several pathways at once. In animal studies it increases the activity of VEGFR2, a receptor that drives new blood vessel growth, which may help bring blood supply into slow healing tissue like tendons and ligaments.

It also interacts with the nitric oxide system, which helps regulate blood flow and the lining of the gut, and it has been shown to increase growth hormone receptors on tendon cells in the lab. Together these effects are thought to support the body’s own repair process rather than replace it.

Injectable Vial

The injectable form is given just under the skin with a small insulin-type syringe. Injection delivers the peptide directly into the body without passing through the digestive tract.

Dosing

Your prescriber chooses the dose and length of treatment based on your goals and health history. Our pharmacist is available to answer any questions about using your vial.

The Use of Compounded BPC-157

Background

BPC stands for Body Protection Compound. BPC-157 is a stable 15 amino acid sequence taken from a larger protein found in human gastric juice. It was developed by researchers in Croatia in the early 1990s, and most of what is known about it comes from their animal work over the following three decades.

How It Is Thought to Work

Researchers believe BPC-157 supports repair by encouraging new blood vessel growth into injured tissue, interacting with the nitric oxide system, and increasing growth hormone receptors on tendon cells. These mechanisms come from lab and animal studies. They have not been confirmed in people.

What It Has Been Studied For

In animal models, BPC-157 has been studied for tendon and ligament injuries, muscle tears, tendon to bone healing, stomach ulcers, and inflammatory bowel conditions.

Human data is limited to small reports, including a retrospective look at patients with knee pain, and an early clinical trial in ulcerative colitis whose results were not published.

Safety and Side Effects

BPC-157 has not been through large human safety trials. Reported side effects are uncommon and mostly mild, such as redness at the injection site, nausea, or dizziness.

Because it may promote blood vessel growth, people with a history of cancer should discuss it with their prescriber first. BPC-157 is prohibited in tested sports.

Summary

BPC-157 has a long research history in animals and growing interest from patients and physicians. Human evidence is still early. A prescriber who knows your health history is the right person to decide if it fits your plan.
