Oral vs Injectable BPC 157 for healing

  • BPC-157 can be taken orally or subcutaneously, and for most people there is no difference in efficacy.
    Yes, some people will notice one works better than the other. Yes, some people will claim that injecting close to the injury helps more than into the belly fat. While those can be true on an individual level, this is not what we see across large groups of people.
    When you have the proper forms and dosages, oral and injectable BPC-157 work about equal in most people.

      Not for BPC-157, as it's stable in the stomach as it comes from the parent peptide BPC which is naturally found in the stomach

    I just ordered the oral bpc 157 pro 500 from infiniwell and hoping it can help fix nagging pain in my shoulders, also doing a lot of posture corrective exercises to get my body moving/functioning right bio mechanically. I hope I can find relief eventually. Ive had shoulder issues since injured myself in high school.

    I've been on the injectable for a week and a half now for a bicep tendon thats been killing me. The first week I was thinking I probably wasted my money. This stuff probably won't help anything. Plus it's to expensive. The second week the pain was completely gone. I'm a welder/fabricator. So I figured it'd be hurting by the end of the day because I constantly have to pick up over 100lbs. Of course I'm not trying to make it hurt. So I'm being careful with it. But it hasn't hurt again yet. I'm gonna still take it easy for a while. It hurt so bad before I thought I'd end up losing my job. I don't know how long I should wait to try working out with it. But then I also noticed that i hadn't had any issues with my stomach ulcer in the time I'd been doing bpc 157. It's been great for me in a real short time. But I can't afford to pay for injectable all the time. So I'll be switching to oral pretty soon. Hopefully I'll have the same results. Do you still recommend DNA Health?

      Capsules and injectable are equal in efficacy in most people. Some people will notice one form works better than the other, but for most people they are equal. Plus, right now you can't get pharmaceutical grade BPC-157 injectable anymore, and we strongly recommend you not to get injectable off a website because the risk of toxins is high. This is why re recommend the oral.

      The most common starting dose we use with patients is 500mcg, once per day on an empty stomach. The time of day doesn't really matter in our opinion. We normally have patients take BPC-157 for at least a month to determine if they see improvements, but sometimes it takes longer to see effects as tissue healing takes time. We then have patients continue on the BPC-157 for several months, and then we might trial taking them off to see if their symptoms remained improved or if they regress. If they regress, we put them back on it.

      For most things yes it's a big difference. For BPC-157 there is still a reduction, but the absorption is still super high because BPC157 is stable in the stomach. Because of that, and being equally effective, we recommend oral for most people as it's easier and more cost effective.

      Here's a protocol for you, in addition to the general bone healing stuff (vitamin D, calcium, etc.)
      - oral BPC-157 500mcg once per day on empty stomach.

    I cannot find a clear answer to this question.
    Will bpc 157 arginate orally administrated have the same benefits to the brain as an injection subq?
    Or will it be mostly helpful for gut health, but less efficient to the brain health?
    From the studies im reading, there should be a systematic effect regardless of administration route, and as long as the bioavailability is high, I don't see a reason why would it be mostly beneficial to the gut in pill form, but not to the brain.

    Hi, apologise in advance the long comment, I just need help and advice.
    I’m a 18 year old power lifter, and I’ve struggled with an ache/painful shoulder for 8 months. It got slightly better 4 months ago, and I built up strength slowly, but then it went again. It’s not a sudden pain or impingement, it’s a really dull ache and instability mixed with acute pain. After months of calling the docters, we got an MRI which concluded rotator cuff tendinitis. but they are investigating the diagnosis more due to the length of the injury.I swim,get massages,eat really well,supplement and do physio exercises. Admittedly, I get rather impatient and can’t go more than 2 weeks without trying to incorporate some type of upper body stimulation. Wether that be light bicep curls, lateral raises or press ups.
    I’m going to start pinning BCP-157 SubQ at a 300 mcg dosage daily. I will be doing this into the shoulder, but in a subQ manner. I will then incorporate tb500 at around week 3.
    I will then inject both for another 1-2 months.
    Please don’t comment “you’re young and will be fine or let it rest”. You have to understand my life is the gym, my family and friends are all there. Regardless of the age I need help.
    Any tips or Anecdotal feedback will be much appreciated.

      Hey man, sorry to hear you've been going through all of this. I can't give you direct medical advice as that can only happen in an appointment with me, and this is on RUclips, but I can give you some general guidance.
      If you have instability, you should look at working with someone who is trained in prolotherapy/PRP injections, and make sure they use image guidance for their injections. Obviously you can come work with me in Arizona, but there are other docs out there that can help you. If you feel unstable, the shoulder joint is likely unstable and you should see if you're a candidate for regenerative injections such as PRP or stem cell therapy, or if you're a surgical candidate. Ligament laxity, which is usually the cause of the instability, is not well seen on an MRI most of the time, so you need a good thorough physical exam in order to know if the shoulder is truly unstable.
      If the shoulder is unstable, injections combined with physical therapy and peptides are often the best approach. Usually the peptides alone won't fully work for ligament laxity, and direct injections are crucial.
      Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

      @DrewTimmermansND  5 месяцев назад +1

      The most common starting dose we use with patients is 500mcg, once per day on an empty stomach. The time of day doesn't really matter in our opinion. We normally have patients take BPC-157 for at least a month to determine if they see improvements, but sometimes it takes longer to see effects as tissue healing takes time. We then have patients continue on the BPC-157 for several months, and then we might trial taking them off to see if their symptoms remained improved or if they regress. If they regress, we put them back on it.

    I started the BPC-157 500mcg oral capsules from DNA Health a few days ago in an attempt to improve chronic GI symptoms. Since day 1 of taking them, I've had a really significant increase in watery diarrhea. From searching online, it seems like others have had similar experiences (though it doesn't appear very common). Is this something you've seen at all? And if so, is it something that goes away once the body acclimates? I'm on day 3, and I'm still having the same symptoms. The consensus online seems to be that diarrhea from BPC-157 is due to a contaminated batch or the inclusion of mannitol (but I don't think either of those are likely from DNA Health?). I'm just wondering what an appropriate amount of time to wait to see if my body adjusts would be.
