Body Protection Compound · PL 14736
The most studied healing peptide for tissue repair and gut health
Typical Dose
500 mcg–1 mg once daily
Route
Subcutaneous
Frequency
Once daily
Cycle
4–12 weeks
BPC-157 is one of the most talked-about healing peptides in research circles. It is a short chain of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that was originally discovered in human stomach fluid. Your body already makes something like it naturally. The synthetic version has been studied extensively for its ability to speed up healing in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the gut — often dramatically faster than normal recovery times.
BPC-157 works by sending signals that tell your body to build new blood vessels to an injured area (think of it like calling in extra supply lines to a construction site). More blood flow means more nutrients and repair cells reach the injury faster. It also boosts collagen production, which is the main structural protein in tendons, ligaments, and skin. On top of that, it has calming effects on the nervous system, which may explain why many users report reduced pain alongside faster healing.
Typical Dose
500 mcg–1 mg once daily
Dose Range
500 mcg–2 mg/day
Frequency
Once daily
Route
Subcutaneous injection near the injury site, stomach, or upper arms
Cycle Length
4–12 weeks
CLINICAL NOTES
For localized injuries, inject as close to the injury site as possible for the best effect. For gut health, injecting in the stomach area works well. Dose adjustments may be made based on individual response and clinical guidance.
Vial Size
10 mg
BAC Water
2 mL (200 units)
Concentration
5 mg/mL
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the caps from the bacteriostatic water (BAC water) and BPC-157 vial and clean both stoppers with alcohol swabs. Draw 200 units (2 mL) of bacteriostatic water into a syringe and inject it slowly into the BPC-157 vial. Gently swirl until fully dissolved — do not shake. The solution is now 5 mg/mL.
DRAW VOLUME REFERENCE

| 2 mg | 40 units | 0.40 mL |
STORAGE
Lyophilized powder: store in a cool, dry place. Once reconstituted: refrigerate and use within 45–60 days.

I used BPC-157 at 500 mcg daily for 8 weeks after a partial rotator cuff tear. Within 3 weeks I noticed significantly reduced inflammation and improved range of motion. By week 6 I was back to light training. The subcutaneous injection protocol was straightforward and I experienced no side effects. …
