BPC-157

Also known as: Body Protection Compound-157, Pentadecapeptide

Healing & RecoveryPreclinical / ExperimentalSubcutaneousIntramuscularOral

A 15-amino acid peptide derived from human gastric juice. Studied for tissue repair, wound healing, tendon/ligament recovery, and gut protection.

Molecular Weight

1419.5 Da

Half-Life

~4 hours (stable in gastric juice)

Sequence

GEPPPGKPADDAGLV

Mechanism of Action

Promotes angiogenesis via VEGF upregulation, activates FAK-paxillin pathway for tendon healing, modulates nitric oxide system, and influences dopamine and serotonin systems.

Dosing Protocol

Typical research dose: 200-500 mcg/day subcutaneously, often split into two doses. Cycles of 4-6 weeks.
