Repair Damaged Joints and Boost Recovery!
BPC-157 is a peptide that helps alleviate joint pain, improve joint mobility, and boost recovery from injuries. It also increases vascular flow to the tendons and ligaments to increase healing and can also help aid skin burns heal faster and increase blood flow to damaged tissues.
Since BPC-157 is derived from a protein in the stomach, it’s often used to help treat stomach and intestinal conditions including fistulas, ulcers, and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. BPC-157 has also been shown to help people with organ damage.
It’s also ideal for nagging injuries where the tissue needs to be rejuvenated. It appears to work by accelerating the rate of angiogenic repair. Angiogenesis is a key dynamic process for wound healing as it allows the formation of new blood vessels from old ones and is involved in the organization of a microvascular network.
What are BPC-157’s main benefits?
Studies conducted in rodents and cultured cells have suggested that BPC-157 may support the healing of various tissues, including tendons, joints, nerves, the intestinal tract, the stomach, and skin.
What are BPC-157’s main drawbacks?
BPC-157’s potential drawbacks are uncertain, given lack of human evidence. No clear toxicity or negative side effects have been reported in studies conducted in rodents, but this research is limited.
How does BPC-157 work?
BPC-157 has various possible (potentially overlapping) mechanisms of action, including promoting nitric oxide synthesis, activating cells involved in tissue repair, stimulating the synthesis of growth factors, and inhibiting inflammation.
BPC-157 can be taken orally, topically, or via injection. Oral ingestion of peptides like BPC-157 wouldn’t normally be expected to have a direct effect on tissues outside of the gastrointestinal tract (like tendons and nerves) because peptides aren’t easily absorbed into circulation. However, studies in rodents have suggested that oral ingestion can have systemic effects, meaning that the feasibility of this route of delivery can’t be ruled out.
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a peptide consisting of 15 amino acids. It is derived from a protein found in the stomach. Ingestion or injection of BPC-157 is suspected of enhancing the repair of damaged tissues. And though no clinical data exists to support this, real world use by bodybuilders, athletes and many others indicates it is quite effective.
What else is BPC-157 known as?
Note that BPC-157 is also known as:
- PL 14736
- PL-10
- Bepecin
BPC-157 should not be confused with:
- TB-500
Dosage informationMedical disclaimer
The closest possible recommended dose is based on rat studies where oral administration showed benefit, as most studies administer the supplement via injection. The oral dose that was effective in rats, 10 μg/kg, is estimated to be equivalent to 1.6 μg/kg, or:
- 110 μg for a 150lb person
- 145 μg for a 200lb person
- 180 μg for a 250lb person
Conclusion
BPC-157, which has greatly increased in popularity, is a peptide used by many bodybuilders, athletes and others for the purpose of accelerating muscle growth, wound healing, injury and organ repair and a host of other physical ailments. Real world application shows definitively that it works well for meeting these goals. And though there is no clinical data available for human consumption dosages… our research has found that 250 mcg seems a very effective dose for the average 180-200 lb male.
