BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157)

BPC-157 is a naturally occurring peptide derived from gastric secretions. Known for its powerful regenerative properties, it plays a vital role in protecting the digestive system, accelerating wound healing, promoting angiogenesis, and supporting muscle and tissue repair.

It is widely used in research settings to explore its effects on inflammation, neurological health, soft tissue regeneration, and GI protection. When stacked with other regenerative peptides such as TB-500, its benefits appear to be enhanced significantly.

Key Benefits

Tissue & Muscle Regeneration

  • Accelerates recovery from muscle and tendon injuries
  • Reduces inflammation across muscles, joints, tendons, and connective tissue
  • Promotes tendon-to-bone healing and supports recovery from musculoskeletal trauma
  • Increases muscle hypertrophy and functional strength

Anti-Aging & Cosmetic Support

  • Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles
  • Promotes hair growth and improves skin tone
  • May reduce scar tissue when injected near affected areas

Fat Reduction

  • Decreases overall adipose tissue (fat mass)
  • May aid in reshaping body composition during recovery or caloric deficit

Neuroprotective Effects

  • Protects neurons from oxidative stress and free radical damage
  • Preserves cognitive function and memory
  • May support mood balance and emotional regulation

Gut-Brain Axis Support

  • Maintains the integrity of gastrointestinal lining
  • Positively influences gut microbiota and neurotransmitter activity
  • May benefit conditions like IBS, ulcers, Crohn’s, and gut-derived inflammation
  • Actively studied for its potential in supporting the gut-brain connection

Angiogenesis

  • Stimulates new blood vessel formation
  • Improves blood flow, oxygen delivery, and overall cardiovascular tissue health

Pain & Inflammation Relief

  • Increases serotonin and dopamine levels, creating analgesic effects
  • Helps reduce chronic pain symptoms linked to inflammation

Protection Against Medication Side Effects

  • May reduce adverse effects from psychiatric and diabetic medications
  • Studied for its role in mitigating catalepsy, sensory disturbance, and cardiac rhythm issues (QT prolongation)

Dosing Guidelines

Administration: Subcutaneous injection
Typical Cycle Length: 8 weeks followed by 6–8 week washout
Frequency: 5 days per week, with 2 consecutive rest days

Stacking Suggestions

BPC-157 is often used as a core compound in regenerative peptide stacks. Common research pairings include:

  • TB-500 – Synergistic healing of soft tissue, ligaments, and tendons
  • Ipamorelin – For stimulating GH release and promoting full-body repair
  • CJC No DAC – Enhances GH pulsatility alongside Ipamorelin
  • Sermorelin – A GHRH analog to further support repair and recovery
  • AOD-9604 – For combining fat reduction with accelerated healing
  • GHK-Cu – Known for wound healing and skin repair
  • Semax / Selank – Amplify neuroprotective effects and cognitive recovery

These stacks are commonly used in protocols for injury recovery, post-operative healing, or high-performance athletic regeneration.
