BPC-157
Body Protection Compound-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein in gastric juice. It has demonstrated remarkable healing properties across multiple tissue types including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the GI tract. BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis, modulates nitric oxide, and upregulates growth factor receptors, making it one of the most versatile healing peptides available.

Dosing Protocol
250-750 mcg daily, injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Can inject locally near injury site. For gut healing, inject in the abdominal area or take oral tablets (500 mcg to 1 mg daily with meals). With standard reconstitution (5 mg in 2 mL), 250 mcg = 10 units and 500 mcg = 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Reconstitution
Add 2 mL bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial. Each 0.1 mL = 250 mcg.
Timing
On an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food.
