BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. It is one of the most studied research peptides for tissue repair, gut healing, and tendon recovery.
Standard Research Dosage
The most commonly used research dose is 250–500 mcg per day, administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Oral administration uses higher doses (500 mcg–1 mg/day) due to reduced bioavailability.
Injection Timing & Protocol
BPC-157 is typically injected once or twice daily, as close to the injury site as practical. Subcutaneous injection into abdominal fat is the most common method for systemic effects.
Cycle Length
Research protocols typically run 4–6 weeks for acute injury, or 8–12 weeks for chronic conditions. A 4-week washout period is standard between cycles.
