What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 also known as Body Protecting Compound-157 is a man made peptide based on a protein that naturally occurs in humans. It's found in the fluid in your stomach used for digesting, killing bacteria, and activating digestive enzymes.
BPC-157 has gained a lot of interest in it's potential ability to promote healing and tissue regeneration throughout the body. That said, this is all research, and nothing has been formerly approved by the FDA or regulatory agencies.
What's the research say?:
- Tissue and Wound Healing - Animal studies suggest BPC-157 may promote healing of soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, etc.
- Anti Inflammatory - Research indicates BPC-157 can potentially aid in the management of acute and chronic inflammation, including certain conditions like arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
- Gut Health - Since BPC-157 is derived from the stomach, it's no surprise that research shows it may help with protecting and repairing the GI tract. There's potential benefits for conditions like ulcers, leaky gut, and IBD.
- Neuroprotective Properties - Studies show some promise with BPC-157 aiding nerve regeneration and protecting brain cells from damage.
- Cardoprotective Benefits - BPC-157 may support heart and vascular health for enhancing the growth of new blood vessels.
There are multiple ways of taking BPC-157 - injection, oral, and nasal. Injections allow for more targeted delivery of the peptide. Injecting near an injury or the site you'd like to target is the most effective way to administer if you're targeting a specific injury. Oral BPC-157 offers benefits to the gut and inflammation. Nasal sprays are easy and painless but there's minimal research about how effective they are.
How to Reconstitute BPC-157
BPC-157 is commonly used for therapeutic or research purposes. Reconstituting it properly ensures accurate dosing and safety. This guide explains how to use our calculator and tracker to mix and manage your reconstituted BPC-157 solution.
Reconstitution Example
Say you have a 5mg vial of BPC-157, and you want each 1mg to be administered in 10 units:
- I have: 5 mg
- I want: 1 mg per 10 units
- Result: Add 50 units of fluid
Using the Calculator
Enter your values in the Peptide Calculator: "I have X mg, I want Y mg per Z units" — the calculator will tell you how much bacteriostatic water to add. You can also save your entry to reference later using the built-in tracker.
Storage Guidelines
After reconstitution, store your BPC-157 vial in the refrigerator. Most peptides remain stable for 2–4 weeks. Always consult your provider or supplier’s handling instructions.
