Doesn't the oral BPC 157 work best for intestinal related problems and not so well for muscle, tendon, bone & ligament healing as compared with injectable BPC 157 at the equivalent dose? I've read that in order to get an equivalent effect from the oral form, it needs to be taken in at least twice the dose of the injection, so 1000 mcg per day on average. Is that about right?

@DrewTimmermansND 4 жыл бұрын

Nope, thats just bro science. But yes higher doses are needed orally due to some loss of absorption. But oral works great for MSK issues and injection works great for gut, and vice versa

There's no evidence that BPC-157 increases cancer growth. This notion comes from the fact that BPC-157 can promote angiogenesis, but that has been taken out of context and erroneously led people to believe it increases cancer.

What do you think about the use of peptides while you have an active infection? Lets say you have a collagen disease caused by an infectious disease, treating it takes years though. Meanwhile more and more damage is caused, do you think starting with peptides sooner rather than later is a good idea even while you might still have an infectious agent in you? I understand that, at least the regenerative, peptides do not have any antimicrobial purposes so obviously this would be for example while you are on antibiotic therapy. Do you happen to know any reason why this might be contraindicated? Thank you!

Hey Doctor, can this compound help to heal patella tendinopathy rather than just tendonitis? And if so, is it better to inject directly into the tendon, or just Subq around the area? Thank you!

@DrewTimmermansND 3 жыл бұрын

Hey there, we use BPC-157 successfully in patients with patellar tendinopathy yes, and actually we use it more there than in tendinitis. We believe it is better to inject directly into the tendon, but that requires a physician trained to do so properly and safely. For patients, we recommend subq anywhere in the body, as the BPC-157 is picked up by the small blood vessels rather quickly, so if you're not injecting it directly into the damage then it doesn't matter. Belly, thigh, or shoulder works best for people.

Sorry to hear that! I cant say if it will help you or not, but your injury is something that the BPC-157 could help with. We usually add in TB4 for our biggest cases (such as a pet tear) or if there is scar tissue. At some point you'll want to load the tissues (exercise) but you don't want to rush that. Take it slow, and slowly overload as tolerable. If you still have issues at the 6-9 month mark you could consider looking into regenerative injections

Came off of my trt last March and began to have symptoms such as costocondritis and now having acid reflux in my stomach because of the inflammation from my rib cage. So now I am on omeprazole 20mg daily kinda helping but now really, also prescribed on naproxen which last me maybe two weeks and didn’t do nothing. Been researching this bpc-157 and looks promising, but my question is can I inject the bpc-157 into my ribcage cartilage same with my chest in some areas that I am in pain??

@DrewTimmermansND 5 ай бұрын

don't inject the BPC into your ribcage cartilage. Unnecessary and risky. Just take the oral version, it works just as good as injectable in most people. We use the BPC-157 capsules from InfiniWell as they use the arginate salt. To help out, we have a 20% patient discount code on our website regenerativeperformance.com/supplements (code is RP20). Once on that website, click the InfiniWell link, and then choose the product labeled 'BPC-157'. When you hover over the product, you will see it says 'Original Formula' above the ingredient box). This is the version that does not have SNAC, which we find works better.

BPC-157 may be of benefit for helping your body to heal damaged nerves and tendons yes, or at least reducing the pain from them. To be quite frank, we have been seeing even better results when stacking BPC-157 with a product called StemRegen by Kalyagen. This product is seriously blowing our minds with how well it helps people to heal. It releases stem cells from your own bone marrow which can travel to areas of injury and help to heal.

@@DrewTimmermansND thanks doc! I just received the BPC from your recommendation. I am a lean male, do weightlifting 5 days per week, with my lumbar spine issues from a spinal fusion at 17 years old, Harrington rods fused to T3 because of a 57 degree scoliosis curve that developed when I became a teenager. Below my fusion my lumbar has had some disc pains and sciatica. I am 40. Although I look fit, I wake up every morning super tight and i feel like I can barely put one leg over the other, like a robot without oil if that makes sense. I’m trying to help solve this. It’s probably inflammation or possibly from something in my diet, along with all my pains and aging. I do consume some walden farms syrups and there may be some ingredients that are causing this, but I’m not sure. I’m hoping the bpc helps with these pains I have and all the tightness. Do you work with some patients with spinal fusions often? I might ask if I can pay for treatment advice someday if your clinic provides remote calls. Thanks!

@@DrewTimmermansND I watched the other lecture, thank you. I wanted to know if you could split a dosage up into multiple (IM, IA, SQ) injection sites for a few different injuries, or would it be more beneficial to address one injury at a time to seek more benefits quicker? How likely is it to get an orthopedic doctor to willingly administer it through an imaging source such as ultrasound sound if I already have the peptide? In the lecture I heard you said it’s more beneficial to administer it through fluoroscopy or ultrasound to get directly into the damaged tissue/joint so IA. This would be difficult to do alone and more painful, so could an individual perform IA injects and IM by themselves through research? Strictly for research purposes.

@DrewTimmermansND 3 жыл бұрын

I do not recommend you try injecting inside the joint or into tendons yourself as that could cause more harm if you hit dangerous structures. Just a single subQ injection in the belly is enough for most people as it goes systemic and helps multiple different injuries that way.

@DrewTimmermansND 5 ай бұрын

First, you don't need to inject in that area, as that doesn't improve outcomes. Second, here's our standard advice which is for oral, as we use oral most often as it works just as well as injectable: 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’ve been injecting in the back of my calf just above the cast to get as close as possible to the tendon. Wondering if I should just inject directly into belly until my cast is off and I can get closer to the injury, what do you think ? Thanks Any advice appreciated.

@DrewTimmermansND Жыл бұрын

No, do not screw around with trying to inject it near your injury. 100% BS bro science. Just inject subQ in your abdomen. No matter where you inject is subQ, it goes into your blood stream, and that's how it has its effects.

@@DrewTimmermansND Hey, for an acute injury like post Achilles tendon surgery, how would you actually know if BPC has worked. Would you just be hoping for the surgeon to tell you he can’t believe how well it has healed for some confirmation. or is it one of those things that’s hard to really measure but you just hope it did something…..maybe when I have a follow ultrasound on the tendon the level of healing might tell a story ?

I am still not clear on where the frontal lobe side effects are coming from. This has never been documented in the research, and I've never had it any of our patients (>300 patients at this point). We have always used BPC from trusted sources. From talking with people, not a single case that I'm aware of when the peptide came from a compounding pharmacy. I have concerns that its because people buy junk from labs that aren't compounding pharmacies. That's what I know at this point. Still always looking into it.

If you look at the research, yes oral is just as effective as injection despite the first pass effect of the liver. We still don't fully understand what happens to the BPC-157 after absorption, so it might not even be converted to anything else in the liver, or it might be converted into something that also stimulates healing. Clinically we see the same response - for the most part, oral is just as effective as injections. Some individuals have responded better to one vs the other, but when looking at a large sample of people, they are equal in efficacy for most people.

Second, since BPC is found in human gastric juice, pharma cannot create it and therefore is labeled as a supplement and not classified as a drug. It works great for me though, but it will be hard to find all the comforting studies to prove it. I have come to realize there are two people in this world.
