BPC-157
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a pentadecapeptide that promotes healing by stimulating angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), upregulating growth hormone receptors in injured tissue, and protecting the gut lining. It is one of the most versatile and widely researched healing peptides.
Concentration reference
Standard mix: 10mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 5mg/mL. Each 0.1mL (10 IU) = 500mcg.
Dosing schedule
| Phase / Use | Dose | Draw Volume | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Systemic — Standard | 250mcg | 0.05mL (5 IU) | Once or twice daily | General healing, gut health, systemic recovery |
| Systemic — High | 500mcg | 0.1mL (10 IU) | Twice daily | Active injury or inflammation — more aggressive protocol |
| Localized — Low | 200mcg | 0.04mL (4 IU) | Once daily | Inject subQ directly near injury site |
| Localized — Standard | 250mcg | 0.05mL (5 IU) | Once or twice daily | Optimal for tendon/ligament/joint research |
| Oral (gut focus) | 250mcg | 0.05mL dissolved in water | Once daily on empty stomach | GI tract targeting — gut lining repair focus |

Injection sites
For systemic: abdomen. For localized: inject subcutaneously as close to the target tissue (tendon, joint, muscle) as possible without direct intra-articular injection.
Timing
Morning and/or evening, 30 min before eating for best absorption. Localized injections can be timed any time of day.
Cycle length
4–6 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Acute injury protocols: 6–8 weeks continuous. Can run longer cycles with periodic breaks.
Stacking
Pairs excellently with TB-500 (the combo vial combines both). Some protocols add GHK-Cu for enhanced collagen synthesis.
Warnings
- ⚠Do not inject directly into a joint space — subcutaneous adjacent to the joint is the appropriate technique
- ⚠If using for gut health, oral route is preferred over injection for GI tract targeting
Tips
- ✔BPC-157 is the most beginner-friendly peptide — stable, easy to mix, minimal sensitivity
- ✔For sports injury research, combining local + systemic dosing (250mcg near site + 250mcg abdomen) is a commonly used dual approach
