I read some miraculous claims about what this stuff can do in terms of healing, so I ordered some to test, as I am the perfect subject.

My understanding is that it is a synthetic peptide replica of a Body Protective Compound (thus bpc) found in human gastric juice. There is a ton of data on the effects of bpc-157 on rats. It heals all sorts of things from burns, to ligament tears, to leaky gut, to brain damage, to dopamine receptors and on and on and on....in rats. There haven’t been many human studies that i’ve found, but there is plenty of anecdotal evidence out there from people using “research” bpc-157 (since it’s not FDA approved for human use) to heal from every injury you can think of.

I’m 42 and have a smashed and disfugured L5, and have fractured L4 and L1. I also smashed my right shoulder cutting down a small tree that fell the wrong way such that i can’t throw a ball more than 2-3 times and not full strength ever. I’ve had a few tendon injuries here and there that have caused lingering pain with overuse. I got rear ended by a honda civic so hard that it rolled my F-350 and that hurt my neck which causes frequent headaches. I got BPC-157 for my back but also to help with my whole body as it is said to have a systemic effect, especially if taken sublingually.

A week before it arrived, I fell and hurt my left knee. There was bruising above and below the knee (back of the knee) and I was limping for about 10 days prior. I started by sub-q injecting the left knee in the front a couple inches inside of my knee cap. By the end of day 2 the knee was fine and I stopped injecting the knee after day 3. I never saw a doctor and don’t know the extent of the injury. I assume it would have healed the sme without bpc. I switched the injection site to my back over L5. I am on week 2 of injecting my back. My back is usually pretty good these days unless I do one of a few things that I know are going to aggrivate it. 2 days ago, I did 2 of those things back-to-back with no aggrivation. I shoveled 2 tons of gravel from my truck bed into a wheelbarrow then spread them in the garden walkways. Oddly I felt OK after this, so I decided to pick some weeds to really test my back since stooping over for more than a couple minutes is my #1 trigger. I picked weeds for about 30 minutes and then bounced up with no trouble.

I was skeptical, but it’s hard to deny it has done some good in a very short time. In 20+ years I haven’t been able to bend down low and stay there for that length of time and if I tried anything like it I’d be moving slow for the rest of the day and maybe the next day. The plan is to do 3 weeks of back injections (250 mcg 2x/day) and then a month off, followed by 3 weeks sublingual.

Anyone else have any experience with bpc-157?

I am interested in your results as I have a lot of back issues and had a disk replacement at 23. I am 33 now and my back pain is becoming a problem. I am very active and take care of myself physically. I am 6'2" 195lbs. I've gotten all the way down to 182lbs a few years ago thinking less weight would help but it was the same and I was miserable trying to stay at that weight.

The last thing I want to do is have another surgery.

I’m curious to see your review on the subject. I’m not looking to take it but I’m curious for he sake of science.

I started subcutaneous BPC-157 about 3 weeks ago to help heal a nagging forearm muscle or tendon that's been giving me problems off and on over the past few years (been daily over the past few months).

Since it's my forearm I don't try to inject subcutaneous at the site, I do it in the love handles.

I have noticed somewhat less pain starting 2 weeks in but it hasn't fully healed yet and I still feel it during workouts.

Today it feels great, but I'm about to hit the gym and will see if it acts up again.

If it were me, I would at least try to do it right over the injury. Maybe pull up the skin and go in sideways near the base.


My back is sore right now. After 2+ weeks of injections I was feeling good so I’ve started some light squats and kettle bell exercises that require the lower back. Some of these muscles haven’t been worked out in 20 years. I don’t have any nerve pain, but the muscle soreness is through the roof. It’s a good feeling, though. Beats the hell out of spasms or nerve pain.

I've thought about it. May give it a shot, no pun intended.

So far BPC seems to be slowly helping it get better. It's not an overnight miracle, but I am feeling a bit less pain each week.

Thymosin beta 4 (tb 500) helped more for me

Bump. Any updates from your progress on BPC 157 and/or TB-500?

I am about 2 weeks into using transdermal BPC-157 patches. I have a shoulder injury, and physical therapy wasn't cutting it. Wasn't able to sleep in my bed, the pain was keeping me awake (no matter how much Aleve or Ibuprofen I took). Only relief was "sleeping" upright in a recliner. About 4 days into using the patches, I was able to sleep through the night in my bed.

All the science says that BPC-157's molecular weight is nearly twice what should be able to be absorbed dermally, but I wanted to try before injecting it. Even if it's pure placebo effect, I'm happy to be back sleeping in my bed.

The impingement is definitely still there, but that throbbing pain within minutes of lying down has ceased almost totally.
