Peptide profile

BPC-157

Body Protection Compound / Wolverine Peptide

RecoveryGut Health

The most researched healing peptide — gut repair, tendon recovery, and injury healing.

Evidence Level

Anecdotal
Emerging
Moderate
Strong

Legal Status

Schedule 4 (Prescription)

Dosage

250–500 mcg/day

Route

subcutaneous injection, oral capsule

How it works

Stimulates growth hormone receptors, promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), and upregulates growth factors that accelerate tissue repair. Derived from a naturally occurring protein in human gastric juice.

Research summary

Over 180 peer-reviewed pre-clinical studies. Strong animal data for musculoskeletal and gut repair. Human trials remain limited — one Phase I trial (NCT02637284) was completed in 2015 but results were never published. A 2025 systematic review screened 544 studies and found fewer than 30 human subjects across all published research.

How this connects to your protocol

BPC-157 and TB-500 direct your body's repair signals — but protein provides the raw material those signals build with. Even with reduced training during recovery, protein must stay high.
