In this in-depth guide, we’ll explore:
-
What BPC-157 is and how it works
-
Its many therapeutic applications
-
How to reconstitute and dose BPC-157 properly
-
What science says about its effectiveness
-
Who may benefit—and who should avoid it
-
Why medical supervision is essential
Let’s dive in.
What Is BPC-157?
BPC-157 stands for Body Protection Compound 157. It is a synthetic peptide sequence derived from a naturally occurring protein found in human gastric juice. Composed of 15 amino acids, BPC-157 is stable in human gastric fluid and biologically active when administered orally, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously.
Its name reflects its function: body protection. This peptide supports the body's natural healing and repair mechanisms, making it a favorite among physicians practicing functional, orthopedic, and sports medicine.
How Does BPC-157 Work?
BPC-157 stimulates angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels—which enhances nutrient delivery to damaged tissues. It also modulates inflammatory cytokines and accelerates the healing of:
-
Muscles
-
Tendons
-
Ligaments
-
Nerves
-
Gut lining
-
Skin
In other words, BPC-157 is your body’s biological recovery booster.
Reconstitution Instructions for BPC-157 Injections
At Revolution Health & Wellness, we dispense BPC-157 in 10mg vials.
To Reconstitute:
-
Add 2mL of sterile or bacteriostatic water to the vial.
-
This yields a 0.05mg per unit concentration, using an insulin syringe (100 units = 1mL).
BPC-157 Dosing Protocols
BPC-157 can be used at several doses depending on your goals, injury severity, and budget.
Oral Guidelines:
- 0.5mg (500mcg) tablets (available through our clinic)
- Take 1-2 tablets (500-1000mcg) daily
Subcutaneous Injection Guidelines:
-
Low dose: 0.25mg (5 units) daily
-
Medium dose: 0.5mg (10 units) daily
-
High dose: 0.75mg (15 units) daily
Duration: Protocols may be followed for up to 90 days, followed by a mandatory 30-day break.
Each 10mg vial provides:
-
40 doses at 0.25mg/day
-
20 doses at 0.5mg/day
-
13–14 doses at 0.75mg/day
In some cases, localized intramuscular injections near the injury site may also be recommended under physician supervision. Each of these protocols are for information purposes only and should only be used under the direct supervision of a licensed physician trained in peptide therapy.
Top Benefits of BPC-157 Peptide Therapy
1. Joint, Tendon, and Ligament Repair
Whether it’s a torn rotator cuff, tennis elbow, or ACL strain, BPC-157 enhances recovery in soft tissues that typically heal poorly. It promotes fibroblast activity, boosts collagen synthesis, and improves blood flow to tendons and ligaments.
2. Neurological Recovery
BPC-157 has been shown to protect the central and peripheral nervous system, making it a potential ally in cases of nerve injury, brain trauma, stroke, and even neurodegenerative diseases.
3. Accelerated Wound Healing
The peptide enhances wound contraction and tissue regeneration, making it useful for surgical recovery, cuts, burns, and even oral health applications.
4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation is at the root of many conditions—from arthritis to brain fog. BPC-157 downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-6, helping to calm the body’s inflammatory response.
5. Gut Healing and Leaky Gut Repair
Originally studied for its gastric-protective effects, BPC-157 helps regenerate the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It’s been used successfully in:
6. Improved Physical Recovery and Performance
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts turn to BPC-157 to recover faster from training, reduce injury risk, and support connective tissue resilience.
7. Cardiovascular and Endothelial Support
Research has shown BPC-157 helps protect endothelial function and may reduce damage following vascular insult, hypertension, or oxidative stress.
