BPC 157 and the proper dosing protocol. BPC is a peptide comprised of 15 amino acids originally developed as an anti ulcer agent and IBS treatment. In fact, the peptide is a fragment of a naturally-occurring gastric protein. It's gained a lot of popularity though for its anti-inflammatory properties as a treatment for arthritis.
One of its main mechanism of actions is ability to influence several growth factors involved in the production of new blood vessels. In mice studies, BPC has been found to increase rate of growth of fibroblasts(tendon cells) as well as improve collagen reformation rates, which may explain its healing benefits users are experiencing.
There are also studies showing increased bone and tendon healing, via increases growth factor expression. As far as dosing, benefits can be seen from taking 250mcg-1000mcg a day for up to 4 weeks. Despite what people on forums say, the research suggests BPC works systemically. Some people insist on injecting at the site of injury, but I do not feel it's needed, seeing as the drug can be injected subcutaneously or taken orally. The "healing stack" seems to be BPC with TB500, with TB used at 2.5mg 2x a week for 4 weeks, followed by 2.5mg every 2 weeks for maintenance.
