<\/p>\nUsing this strategy, in just one month, I have\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026shut down gut inflammation from a bout of travel, racing and stress\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026completely healed golfer\u2019s elbow, medical epicondylitis and inner elbow pain\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026and healed a torn upper hamstring with lightning speed.<\/em><\/p>\n This stuff should be illegal.<\/strong><\/p>\n It probably will be soon.<\/p>\n But\u00a0I simply couldn\u2019t keep this potent healing tactic to myself. Enjoy, and proceed at your own risk.<\/p>\n Bpc-157 is, in a word, a peptide.<\/strong><\/p>\n A peptide is simply a sequence of amino acids.<\/p>\n OK, OK, lest you be donning a white lab coat and cringing from that simple description, then I\u2019ll be more specific: a peptide is a compound consisting of two or more amino acids linked in a chain, the carboxyl group of each acid being joined to the amino group of the next by a bond like this:\u00a0OC-NH.<\/p>\n In the\u00a0case of BPC-157, the peptide is a sequence of amino acids with a\u00a0molecular formula of 62 carbons, 98 hydrogens, 16 nitrogens, and 22 oxygen atoms<\/a> (C62-H98-N16-O22).<\/p>\n Should you care to know the nitty-gritty specifics, that comes out to a fifteen amino acid sequence of the following:<\/p>\n L-Valine, glycyl-L-alpha-glutamyl-L-prolyl-L-prolyl-L-prolylglycyl-L-lysyl-L-prolyl-L-alanyl-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-alanylglycyl-L-leucyl-; glycyl-L-alpha-glutamyl-L-prolyl-L-prolyl-L-prolylglycyllysyl-L-prolyl-L-alanyl-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-alanylglycyl-L-leucyl-L-valine.<\/em><\/p>\n Yep, that\u2019s the long, fancy name for BPC-157.<\/p>\n BPC, for reasons you\u2019re about to discover, stands for \u201cBody Protecting Compound\u201d. Your body already makes it in your own gastric juices in very small amounts, where it serves to protect and heal your gut. But if you can get the super concentrated version and get it into your system, it has an extremely high level of biological healing activity just about\u00a0anywhere\u00a0<\/em>you put it<\/p>\n And if many of the amino acids above look\u00a0familiar to you, there\u2019s good reason. I\u2019ve talked about them before. I\u2019ve used them orally for quite some time to heal injuries more quickly, to keep the body in anabolic state during or post-exercise, and to stave off central nervous system fatigue during long bouts of exercise. I have a quite comprehensive article about the oral use of amino acid tablets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n BPC-157 is surprisingly free of side effects, and has been shown in research that\u2019s been happening since 1991 to repair tendon, muscle, intestines, teeth, bone and more, both in in-vitro laboratory \u201ctest-tube\u201d studies, in in-vivo human and rodent studies, and when used orally or inject subcutaneously (under your skin) or intramuscularly (into your muscle). <\/strong><\/p>\n Just take a look at the following, all of which was hunted down and identified by the good folks at Suppversity in their\u00a0article on BPC-157<\/a>. BPC-157 has been shown to:<\/p>\n BPC-157 is also\u00a0known as a \u201cstable gastric pentadecapeptide\u201d, primarily because it is stable in human gastric juice, can cause an anabolic healing effect in\u00a0both the upper and lower GI tract, has an antiulcer effect, and produces a therapeutic\u00a0effect\u00a0on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) \u2013 all again surprisingly free of side effects.<\/p>\n As demonstrated in the research studies cited above, BPC-157\u00a0also accelerates wound healing, and, via interaction with the Nitric Oxide (NO) system, causes protection of endothelial tissue and an \u201cangiogenic\u201d (blood vessel building) wound healing effect. This occurs\u00a0even in severely impaired conditions, such as in advanced and poorly controlled irritable bowel disease, in which it stimulates\u00a0expression of\u00a0genes responsible for cytokine and growth factor generation and also\u00a0extracellular matrix (collagen) formation, along with\u00a0intestinal anastomosis healing, reversal of\u00a0short bowel syndrome and fistula healing \u2013 all of which can extremely frustrating issues in people who have gut pain, constipation, diarrhea and bowel inflammation.<\/p>\n So\u00a0if you have frustrating joint pain that won\u2019t go away, some kind of muscle tear, sprain or strain, or gut \u201cissues\u201d, you should definitely keep reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n So how can you getour paws on this stuff?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can find BPC-157<\/a> at a few different peptide suppliers on the internet. I\u2019ll warn you: kind of like online pharmacies, the websites are cheesy, and they technically\u00a0aren\u2019t allowed to sell or advertise these kind of peptides\u00a0as something appropriate for human consumption or human injection, but you can pretty easily find it and buy it if you know how to use your Googling skills properly.<\/p>\n I got my BPC-157\u00a0from <\/em>Peptide\u00a0Warehouse<\/a>\u00a0which has a 99%+ purity, lyophilized BPC-157 at $43.99\u00a0per 5mg bottle. That was the best price I could find.<\/em><\/p>\n I can\u2019t ethically say any of these forms of BPC-157 are \u201csuperior\u201d since none of it is technically legal to sell for human use (you\u2019ll notice each site specifies that it is for laboratory chemical research only)\u00a0but figured I\u2019d give you a few choices in case one of the websites above is out of stock at the time you happen to be reading this article.<\/p>\n For reasons you\u2019re about to discover, I also ordered, from MedLabGear<\/a><\/p>\n -One box of insulin syringes<\/a>, preferably 1ml\/1cc, with 28\u00a0gauge 1\/2 inch attached needles (the slang term for these syringes), among self-injectors of peptides and hormones, is a \u201cslin pin\u201d.<\/p>\n -One 30ml bottle of bacteriostatic water<\/a>.<\/p>\n -One package of alcohol cleaning wipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Compared to spending several thousand dollars to fly over to Europe for a stem cell injection, that is, cost-wise, a tiny drop in the bucket, especially when you consider the fact that this stuff can permanently heal and strengthen weak joints, connective tissues, muscles and gut.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n When you get your bottle of BPC-157, it is going to look like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n See how it\u2019s a powder? You have to \u201creconstitute\u201d that powder.<\/em><\/p>\n This is where the bacteriostatic water (also known as \u201cBAC water\u201d) comes in. Here\u2019s what to do with the BPC-157 powder and BAC water:<\/p>\n Voila. You\u2019re done. You now have a \u00a0bottle of completely reconstituted and ready-to-rumble BPC-157. It will look something like this.<\/strong><\/p>\n Before and after\u00a0reconstitution, keep your BPC-157\u00a0away from UV rays, sunlight and heat. It\u00a0will\u00a0remain stable\u00a0at room temperature for up to ten\u00a0weeks, but\u00a0for best storage and\u00a0results, you should store in your refrigerator, in which case it will stay stable for\u00a0up to six months. It will stay stable in a freezer for up to two years.<\/p>\n The stuff is super fragile. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of very slow and patient reconstitution. When you spray the BAC into the BPC, aim for the sides of the BPC bottle, and don\u2019t spray directly onto the BPC powder itself. When you draw the BPC up into the syringe for injection or oral use, turn the bottle of BPC upside down very carefully and then draw the liquid\u00a0up into the syringe very slowly. When you inject it or spray it into your mouth, inject it very slowly. If you keep it in the refrigerator, keep it away from things that might knock it over or jostle it around.<\/p>\n You get the idea. Treat your BPC\u00a0like the fragile, million-dollar healing elixir that it is.<\/em><\/p>\n There is an abundance of research on BPC-157 and it has been shown to be effective systematically when injected once daily at anywhere from\u00a01-10mcg per kg of body weight. In most cases, this comes out to a dose of anywhere from 200mcg up to 800mcg. Some folks report the most success dosing twice per day with 250-350mcg for a total of 500-700mcg per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n So as you can see, there\u2019s quite a bit of variability in dosage recommendations.<\/p>\n I initially began to use BPC-157 for golfer\u2019s elbow (inner elbow pain also known as \u201cclimber\u2019s elbow\u201d or \u201cmedial epicondylitis), and I personally, based on\u00a0the majority of the research studies in humans, settled upon a self-administered subcutaneous BPC-157 injection of 250mcg in my left elbow on one day, then\u00a0250mcg in my right\u00a0elbow the next day, for a total of two weeks. At this point, my elbow pain had completely disappeared, so I stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n Although, as I\u2019ve mentioned, BPC-157 is free of side effects at normal dosages, I can tell you that the first time I used it, I accidentally dosed with 2500mcg instead of the 250mcg I planned to initially trial with, and I felt for about the next four hours what I would best describe as a slight amount of irritability and grumpiness, which was likely due to the anabolic cortisol response from a very minor overdose. This feeling passed within four hours, and I\u2019ve felt no ill-effects since with daily dosing of 250mcg.<\/p>\n BPC-157 acts systemically.<\/strong><\/p>\n This means that whether you inject it subcutaneously \u2013 an\u00a0easier and more-pain free under-the-skin method that you should do as close to the area of pain as possible\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026.or you inject it intramuscularly \u2013 the more painful and teeth-gritting version of essentially \u201cstabbing\u201d the needle into the muscle as close to the injury as possible\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n \u2026or you simply spray it into your mouth orally\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2026the BPC-157\u00a0going to render some amount of benefit in whichever part of your body needs healing.<\/em><\/p>\n Oral administration of BPC-157 is quite straightforward. Just spray it into your mouth (remember: very slowly), hold it in your mouth for 90-120 seconds, then swallow.<\/p>\n Subcutaneous injections\u00a0are\u00a0also relatively simple, as long as you\u2019re cool with needles. You can either pinch an area of skin near the injury site and thrust the needle\u00a0into that pinched area of skin, or if (as was the case of my elbow) it\u2019s too tough to simultaneously pinch your skin and inject yourself, you can recruit a helper or just \u201cangle\u201d the needle so it slips under unpinched skin. Remember, always clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab and clean the area of injection with an alcohol swab. Always.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em>Here\u2019s a video that shows you the basics of\u00a0subcutaneous injection.<\/p>\n
