I want to remind you, before I start this post, that I am NOT an Naturopathic Doctor. All the information I share on my blog is informational not prescriptive. If a solution I offer is of interest, please consult your holistic practitioner to ensure it is a viable solution for you and your situation.
And with that, on with the post. I want to share a story with you. Most, if not all, of you will have never heard of this peptide. And before we get started, I want to explain why I chose this to write about today. I have several family members that have had knee surgery, shoulder surgery, and other surgeries to repair tendons and ligaments. These are extremely expensive, extremely painful, and take a very long time to heal. As you are well aware, I try and steer as far from Allopathic medicine – including surgery – as I can.
About four years ago, my mother had knee surgery. She was told she needed surgery on both knees and that they wouldn’t do them at the same time. She chose to do her non-dominant side first. The surgery was successful, but the recovery was horrible for her. She really struggled. She had a hard time doing the exercises needed to work her knee into shape and the knee is still somewhat stiff today. So, when it came time to consider her dominant knee for replacement, she wanted a different option.
Enter in a friend of the family that does body building and has worked with many people as a personal trainer. He knows I am holistic in my approach to healing and suggested I look into BPC-157 as a possible solution for her. I did. And she decided to give it a try. Within one week, she felt different. Her dominant knee had been much more painful than the non-dominant one before and now it wasn’t. She took the peptide for 30 days – daily injections – and felt better. Not fully healed, but better. After a six month rest, we are ready to do another 30 day rotation.
What is BPC-157? BPC-157 is a gastric peptide. Quite a few studies are showing that these peptides can heal many different kinds of tissue – especially connective tissue. They have also been shown to aid in healing the nervous system, muscles, and all types of wounds. Currently, it is being used for clinical trials, and the powers that be want to keep it that way to reduce the pricing for the product so don’t get too upset if you see statements like, “not for human consumption” listed on the websites or bottles.

What are peptides? Peptides are a string of amin-acids found in the body. Different peptides do different things in the body. Generally, they aid in slowing down the aging process, increase healing, reduce inflammation, and destroy microbes.
How does BPC-157 work? Scientists don’t know all the benefits of BPC-157. What they do know is that it increases healing by activating cells involved in tissue repair and it inhibits inflammation.
What conditions does BPC-157 help heal? There are extensive tests around BPC-157 and its healing properties. BPC-157 has been found to heal muscle, increase healing after surgery and trauma, and heal / repair cartilage and tendons. There is extensive research on its neuroprotection capabilities and how it might aid in healing Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and other mental illnesses like depression and ADHD / ADD. Additionally, BPC-157 is in testing now for cancer patients.
How is BPC-157 administered? There are two ways to administer BPC-157 – injection and capsule. If injecting, it should be injected near the site, but know that the BPC-157 will move throughout the body healing as it goes. The common dosage for capsule consumption is between 200 mcg and 1,000 mcg and is based on weight and is taken twice a day. The injection is said to be absorbed faster and more completely into the body. Consumption is for 30 days, break for 6 months, and then you can go for another round, if needed.
BIG NOTE HERE: READ ALL this information before you make a decision to move forward. Ensure you understand all the steps and cautions before you begin.

Are there any warnings or concerns with taking BPC-157? Since it is a naturally occurring peptide, there are little concerns about it. The main takeaway is that you wait six months before going another round. This allows the peptide to do its work in the body fully before you try again. Many people find that other little aches and pains are gone after the six month period, healed by the BPC-157.
Where can I purchase BPC-157?
Capsules – ensure you get the dosage needed there are several on Amazon. This is just one.
Injection – ensure you get the dosage needed there are several types. This site is the one that the guy we work with uses.
What else should I know? Ensure you read everything you can on it before you try it. I am not a holistic practitioner and am not able to prescribe or direct you other than to share the information that I have seen with my own eyes. Talk to your practitioner and get their opinion and then make your own fully informed decision.
