Known For

Body Protection Compound. Derived from human gastric juice. Powerful healing peptide for tendons, ligaments, muscles, gut, and organs. Anti-inflammatory. Promotes angiogenesis and tissue repair. Most versatile healing peptide.

Mechanism of Action

Gastric pentadecapeptide — derived from body protection compound found in gastric juice. Promotes angiogenesis, tendon/ligament healing, gut repair, neuroprotection.

Body vs. External Supply

🟡 Natural/Topping Up

Brand / Trade Names

Bepecin (developmental name) PL-14736 / PL 10 (trial names) PCO-02 (clinical trial) No commercial brand — research only FDA Category 2 (2023)

Typical Research Dosage

250-500mcg/day SubQ. Inject near injury site for localised effect or abdominally for systemic. Can split to 2x daily.

Vial Duration Guide

5mg vial at 500mcg/day = 10 days. 10mg vial = 20 days.

Recommended Vial Size

★ 10mg vials At 500mcg/day, 5mg = 10 days ✓, 10mg = 20 days ✓. Both work perfectly. 10mg for convenience, 5mg for maximum freshness.

Time to Effects

EARLY: 3-7 days FULL: 4-8 weeks Day 1-3: Some users report reduced pain/inflammation within days. This is one of the fastest-acting peptides. Week 1-2: Noticeable pain reduction and improved mobility in injured areas. Gut healing improvements if used for GI issues. Week 2-4: Significant healing progress. Range of motion improving. Tendon/ligament injuries showing measurable recovery. Week 4-8: Major structural healing. Many injuries substantially resolved. One of the few peptides where you can genuinely feel a difference within the first week. Minimum commitment: 4 weeks for injuries. 2-4 weeks for gut issues.

Contraindications & Do Not Combine

• Caution with NSAIDs (may reduce BPC-157 efficacy — use paracetamol instead) • Theoretical concern: may promote angiogenesis in existing tumours — avoid if active cancer/tumour history

Common Side Effects

Limited human data: nausea, dizziness, headache (reported). Lee & Padgett 2021 (12 patients): no serious adverse events.

Drug Interactions

Unknown — no drug interaction studies. Theoretical: may enhance effects of dopaminergic drugs.

Reversibility

Fully reversible — supports natural healing processes, no known suppression of endogenous systems

Research Disclaimer

Almost all data is preclinical (animal or in-vitro). No large-scale randomised controlled human trials are available for most compounds on this catalogue. This information is provided for research reference only.

Storage Requirements

Reconstituted: 2-8°C, 10-14 days. Oral capsules: room temp.
State Condition Duration
Lyophilised (sealed) room temp 12-24 months
Reconstituted 2-8C 4–6 weeks

Reconstitution Note

Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (BAC water). Do not shake vigorously -- swirl gently to dissolve. Inject BAC water slowly down the side of the vial to avoid denaturing the peptide.
