Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It's used in the biohacking community for injury recovery, gut healing, and tissue repair, though human clinical trials are still limited.
Mechanism of Action
Promotes angiogenesis, protects endothelium, and accelerates wound healing through multiple pathways including nitric oxide system modulation, FAK-paxillin pathway activation, and upregulation of growth factor receptors.
Dosing Information
| Route | Dose Range | Half-life | Tmax | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subcutaneous (SubQ) | 200–500 mcg | 4 hr | 1 hr | Daily, Twice daily |
Common Side Effects
- · Injection site redness
- · Mild nausea (rare)
- · Dizziness (rare)
- · Generally well-tolerated in reported use
Monitoring Recommendations
No established monitoring protocol. Consider baseline and follow-up CMP if using for extended periods. Monitor injury recovery progress.
Storage & Handling
Refrigerated
Reconstituted: 28-30 days refrigerated
Room Temperature
Lyophilized (powder): stable at room temperature
General
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Refrigerate after reconstitution. Protect from light.
Community Notes
Most users inject SubQ near the injury site for localized effect, though systemic effects are reported with any injection site. Typical protocol is 250-500mcg 1-2x daily for 4-8 weeks. Often stacked with TB-500 for synergistic healing. Oral and nasal routes are also used but have lower bioavailability.
Used in Regimens
3 regimensBPC-157 + GHK-Cu Skin & Tissue Healing
BPC-157 intensive SubQ dosing with GHK-Cu (copper peptide) for wound healing, skin rejuvenation, and post-surgical tissue repair. GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes angiogenesis, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Stack is popular in anti-ageing and aesthetic medicine communities.
BPC-157 intensive/post-surgical protocol SubQ.
BPC-157 + KPV Gut Healing Protocol
Oral BPC-157 plus oral KPV for gastrointestinal healing. BPC-157 oral route has demonstrated efficacy for gut tissue repair in animal models. KPV (tripeptide from alpha-MSH) has potent anti-inflammatory effects on gut mucosa — useful for IBD, leaky gut, and post-antibiotic recovery.
BPC-157 oral — GI healing protocol 250–500mcg 2x/day.
BPC-157 + TB-500 Healing Stack
The classic peptide healing stack. BPC-157 accelerates soft tissue, tendon, and gut repair while TB-500 promotes angiogenesis and systemic muscle recovery. Typically run for 4–8 weeks per course.
