BPC-157 UK Guide: Mechanism, Dosing, Storage
BPC-157 is one of the most-researched body protection peptides. It is a 15-amino-acid sequence derived from human gastric juice, studied for its role in tissue repair and gut barrier integrity.
Mechanism
BPC-157 appears to upregulate VEGF and growth-hormone receptor expression, supporting angiogenesis (new blood-vessel formation). Most documented effects in animal research relate to tendon, ligament and gut tissue.
Common dosing
| Use case | Typical daily dose |
|---|---|
| General research | 250 mcg |
| Tendon/ligament focus | 500 mcg |
| Gut research | 500 mcg, oral or subcutaneous |
Reconstitution
A standard 5 mg BPC-157 vial reconstituted with 2.5 ml of BAC water gives 2 mg/ml, or 200 mcg per 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Storage
Lyophilised: freezer for long-term, fridge for active use. Reconstituted: 2–8°C, 28 days.
