Despite a near-total lack of evidence that BPC 157 is effective or even safe for use in humans, this peptide is being touted for use to repair muscle, tendon and ligament damage in athletes, for recovery from surgery, and to improve gut health, amongst other indications
BPC-157 for Shoulder & Rotator Cuff BPC-157 has been studied for rotator cuff tendinopathy, labral support, frozen shoulder, and post-surgical recovery
The standard protocol uses 2.8 mg per injection: 2 mg GHK-Cu + 400 mcg of BPC-157 + 400 mcg of TB-4
BPC-157 upregulates VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) in tendon tissue, which drives the formation of new capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to a repair site that was effectively starved of vascular support
This is why many people find that a monthly injection frequency is the sweet spot for maintaining consistent energy levels
Commonly studied areas include: Tendon and ligament models research looking at tendon-to-bone and soft-tissue repair processes
