What is BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound)?
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino acid peptide derived from a protective protein found naturally in human gastric juice. In preclinical research, it has demonstrated robust angiogenic, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting tendon-to-bone healing, ligament repair, and gastrointestinal mucosal regeneration.
Because BPC-157 is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, precise reconstitution math with Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol) is necessary to ensure sterile administration and microgram-level dosing accuracy.
Standard Clinical Research Protocols
| Protocol Type | Dose Per Injection | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Tendon/Joint | 250 mcg | Twice daily (500 mcg/day) | 4–6 weeks |
| Acute Trauma / Post-Op | 500 mcg | Twice daily (1000 mcg/day) | 2–4 weeks |
| Gut Mucosal Protocol | 250–500 mcg | Once or twice daily | 4–8 weeks |
| Weight-Based Math | 2.5–5.0 mcg/kg | Once or twice daily | Variable |
Storage & Reconstitution Best Practices
- Lyophilized Powder: Store dry, unmixed vials in the freezer (below 0°C/32°F) or refrigerator away from light.
- After Reconstitution: Always refrigerate (2°C to 8°C / 36°F to 46°F). Reconstituted peptide with BAC water should generally be consumed within 28–30 days.
- Gentle Mixing: Slowly inject BAC water down the inside glass wall of the vial. Do not shake vigorously; gently swirl until completely dissolved.
