BPC-157 - Peptides to Optimize Healing

BPC-157 is a fascinating peptide that has an affinity for the gastrointestinal system and the musculoskeletal system. This video covers the basics of BPC-157 and how I use this peptide in patients.

[@MasterArmedforces]

Hi doc, your channel is great & has tons of helpful info! I want to treat my chronic right elbow lateral epicondylitis. In your experience, what is the #1 best way to get the BPC re-constituted solution to that area? Oral under tongue, SQ belly button, SQ near the tendon insertion point (since theres so little blood flow in that area), or IM into the tendon. Im willing to do whichever will be MOST effective regardless of pain/discomfort. Ive seen people go SQ near the insertion point on the outer elbow and then rub it in, but thinking about how fragile these amino/peptides are, isnt there a chance Id be destroying it when I massage it in? Thanks!

[@richardkranium2584]

I have noticed for best healing for myself is to inject sub q as close to the injury as possible. Oral made my gut feel great and fixed my gut issues. Sub Q right near my herniated disc is really helping a lot

I think it’s great we finally found something that really helps people with you terrible side effects and addiction. But in order to get the real deal you have to go through a doctor to get it. It then cost an arm and leg.

You can actually get the real deal BPC-157 arginate salt in oral form here - bit.ly/3gTNrEI This is the brand we use with all patients and the brand I personally use myself. You don't need a doctor's prescription and this costs less than the injectable through the doctor.

Hey doc, I'm 22 years old and have been experiencing Hoffa's Syndrome (fat pad impingement) in both my knees on and off for about a year now. My most recent flare-up was roughly two weeks ago (3/1/2021) and occurred after having ramped up my cycling training. I'm an active person (hiking, cycling, swimming, slacklining), and the sports med physician I recently saw believes this is an overuse injury. I was assigned PT, and am working on various exercises to hopefully address the root of my anterior knee pain. I am curious of this peptide, and whether you have heard of its use for Hoffa's Syndrome? Currently I have prescriptions for Mobic (oral) and Diclofenac (topical) but have yet to experience any major improvements. Please let me know if you think BPC-157 would help. Thanks, Sam

[@DrewTimmermansND]

We've had a few patients with Hoffa syndrome respond well to BPC, but the biggest thing we've seen help is PRP injections into the fat pad. That can help reduce the inflammation and pain greatly.

Hi Dr. Drew. Unfortunately I fully ruptured my Achilles Tendon in my right leg last Saturday after just getting over recovering from fully rupturing my patella tendon in my left leg last year. I saw in prior comments that you have your patients recovering from ruptured tendons use BPC-157 and Thymosin Beta 4 in conjunction. Is the Thymosin Beta 4 oral or injection to which you prescribe your patients? I’m going to buy the Rapid Release BPC-157 and was wanting to know what would be the best Thymosin Beta 4 to buy to use in conjunction? Hope my question makes sense. I’m having surgery this Thursday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I hope surgery went well yesterday! Thumosin beta 4 is not absorbed orally, so that needs to be injectable. Due to availability, we are predominantly using TB-500 as our main thymosin peptide to augment healing. Those injections should come from a compounding pharmacy.

[@DanHungerford]

Do you have experience with knee osteoarthritis and bpc 157? I recall you saying it’s more effective with a stimulus like PRP, is that correct? Also for OA is oral or intra-articular injection more effective? Thanks!

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Yep quite a bit of experience. It can be helpful on its own, but yes it's synergistic with injections like PRP. Oral and IA have their own pros and cons, but IA is a more direct treatment for OA

Hello doc, I am a powerlifter. I tore my pectoralis minor with some damage to the muscle-tendon connection (dont know what its called) three weeks ago. Not an extremely severe tear - no bruising, and I have retained pretty much complete muscle flexibility, but obviously huge reductions in strength. Would you recommend using BPC for this injury? Or is it not especially needed?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I cant say for you specifically as that would be medical advice, but I will say this. If I ever tore a muscle in my body, BPC-157 arginate salt would 100% be added into my healing stack.

Also, do you have any specific recommendation about whether to choose capsule or tablet? I am purchasing it because of a very painful golfer's elbow tendinosis in the medial epicondyle, which is preventing me from lifting and from many other everyday activities. I have been dealing with a minor ulnar nerve compression in the cubital tunnel for 6 years, with no major issue (there is no nerve subluxation nor actual nerve demage), but in the last few months I have developed this very bad golfer's elbow, which I suspect could be also caused by the ulnar nerve compression, given the proximity of the two areas and the fact that the nerve is slightly hypertrophic right in that area (9-10 mm2 diameter). I am from Europe, so I will try to buy the product you recommend by shipping it to a relative in the U.S. and then make him ship it again to me over here. In case it might not be possible, do you know any reputable source for purchasing in Europe? Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Generally we start with 500mcg once per day for the rapid release capsule (from the company in the link). Some patients do well with increasing to twice per day, but most will be fine with 500mcg once per day. Sorry I don't know any trusted sources of BPC-157 in Europe.

Hey doc. I had a Rotator Cuff repair, with Biceps Tenodesis (type 2 SLAP) sub pectoral LHBT, superior labral repair (Torn from 2 - 10 o'clock) and a subacromial decompression. It's been 18 months and my shoulder is stable but I have a lot of pain and severely restricted ROM. Since it's been a while since the recovery stage, would I still benefit from BPC157?

I hear different conflicting information about using BPC by patients having early cancerous tumours (non malignant). Some say the angiogenesis can cause progression, some say just the opposite. What is your view doc?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

benign and malignant tumors have to be thought of separately here. I don't think the angiogenesis effect of BPC-157 is as systemic as people think, but the truth is that we need better research to know this. However, in cases of malignancy, my view is one of precaution, and we don't recommend BPC-157 in active cancer. Doesn't mean that's right, it's just our current stance especially because I don't treat patients with cancer.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I cant say if it's safe for you specifically or not as you're not my patient sorry. What I can say is that I haven't ever seen any good evidence that BPC-157 is carcinogenic or can cause cancer thats in remission to come back. The angiogenesis properties are not widespread throughout the whole body, they only appear to be active in the damaged tissues. But, without any hard evidence on safety, I can't say if it's truly safe or not.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Because when you inject it IM or subQ it goes into the blood and goes systemic. Injecting close to pain doesn't put thr peptide into the actual tissue that is causing pain, unless you have detailed anatomical knowledge and know how to inject safely into the proper ligaments. There's no improvement for injecting it close to the area of pain compared to another area in the body

Great question, and something I vetted them hard with. They bough Dr Seeds, which you're right wasn't legit BPC157, predominantly to take them out of the market.
