Description
BPC-157 is a Pentadeca peptide, i.e., a short sequence of amino acids. Amino acids can be found naturally in the body, however, this one is produced synthetically.
In detail, this peptide is a sequence of 98 hydrogen, 62 carbon, 22 oxygen, and 16 nitrogen atoms put together, the nitty-gritty chain is spelled out with the following molecular formula:
C62-H98-N16-O22
So much for the fancy formula, but whats with the name? If youre curious, the acronym in BPC peptide stands for Body Protecting Compound. The body naturally produces BPCs in the gut and stomach which serve to protect the organs from the unwanted activity and helps them heal. The great news is that wherever you put these compounds in the body, they will bring about regenerative properties.
The BPC-157 peptide triggers the formation of new blood vessels, promoting tendon growth and muscle healing. This is a natural process called angiogenesis, used by the body to help it heal from cuts, wounds, and any damage from trauma.
BPC-157 benefits:
Reduce inflammatory bowel diseases by helping the inflamed lining of the gut heal up
Causes tendon cells to heal & grow because they increase growth signalling molecules
Block inhibiting effects from other molecules
Reduce inflammation in the body
The brain can also positively be impacted by the substance as it regulates the production of dopamine and serotonin
Helping people deal with seizures, depression and pain
Regulation and balance of blood pressure
Balancing of potassium levels
BPC 157 benefits & side effects
BPC 157 benefits
There have been many positive effects noted by those who have experimented with the use of BPC-157 for issues including bone healing, ligament healing, general regenerative properties and more. We will list just a small few of the key health benefits here.
Accelerates body repair
May help inflammatory bowel disease / IBS and gut health
Increase rate of muscle regeneration
Aid wound healing
Reversing damage caused by NSAIDs
BPC 157 side effects
BPC-157 side effects (if any) are usually mild, especially when used at the proper dosage. Regardless, it is worth noting that research on BPC is still limited. We can however look to side effects associated with other peptides to hypothesize what we might need to look out for.
Flashes of very hot or cold temperature
Changes to appetite and/or weight
Dizziness
Fatigue
Headaches
BPC 157 dangers (is it actually safe?)
BPC-157 is considered safe for use. As it is naturally found in gastric juices, it is well tolerated by the body. It is however important to note that human clinical trials are still limited and side effects, as above, have been reported. We cannot say for sure long-term use implications may be at this point. As with any supplement in this stage, we would advice ceasing use if any concerns to arise.
As far as tested athletes are concerned BPC is not currently on the WADA banned list under the section naming peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances, and mimetics (as of October 2020). This means that natural bodybuilders and sportspeople might use it without risk of bans.
BPC 157 dosage guidelines
The typical BPC-157 dosage for intramuscular injection is 200 to 300 micrograms (mcg) per day, in a single daily injection, taken consistently each day for up to 4 weeks. This works out to around 2.5 to 3.75 micrograms per kilogram of body weight for an 80kg adult, but as little as 1mcg/kg has been studied to provide benefits.
Dosage for oral administration may need to be higher to take into consideration the amount of drug that will be lost in the digestive tract, but is still an effective way to take BPC. When taking it this way we suggest users ensure they dose it with food.
