I'm assuming I can either draw it in a syringe and squirt under tongue and hold for 60-90 seconds or squirt bpc157 into a glass of water and drink it.

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.

For narrowing arthritic L4/L5 (mild nerve compression) and arthritics knees,,, is rapid release better than delayed release BPC-157?

it doesn't contain SNAC. SNAC was added by the company as a way to improve absorption, but some people react poorly to the SNAC. All of the studies in animal (and the one human study) don't use SNAC. I like using what has been shown in the research to be effective

[@jessicaargon22]

Im new here, but could you tell me if this could help chronic sciatica? Disc issues? Sometimes I feel unhelpable.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I'm terribly sorry to hear this (and welcome to my channel!). BPC-157 can help with the pain associated with sciatica and disc issues yes, but it depends on how large the bulge/herniation is that is compressing your nerve root. In our clinic, our preferred approach (because it works way better than BPC-157) is epidural and/or disc injections of either PRP or stem cell therapy.

Hey Doc, Currently torn my 3rd ACL and have taken BPC before. What is the best way to take BPC and how much? The capsule form i have has 700mcg per capsule. how often and how much should i have this? as per your graph for subq what is down time between the first 4 weeks and the next 4 weeks ?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Yikes, you likely need something stronger than BPC if this is your third time. You should explore PRP or stem cell therapy injected directly into the ACL under xray guidance. This is what we do in our clinic. For BPC-157, the 700mcg capsule you have is a high enough dose. You could take twice per day on empty stomach.

[@lachiemodica8283]

@@DrewTimmermansNDcheers for the reply doc. How often? Everyday for a month? Also I’m from AUS and tried to book a zoom call with you, but it got canceled!!

[@DrewTimmermansND]

The most common starting dose we use with patients is 500mcg, once per day on an empty stomach. The time of day may not matter, but it may also be better when taken before bed. 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. If your discovery call with me got canceled, it's likely because your verbiage suggested that you wanted peptide dosing advice, which is not the purpose of those calls. Those calls are only to see if you're a candidate to see me in my clinic for PRP or stem cell therapy. If you're willing to travel to Arizona for PRP or stem cells, then resubmit.

Hi doc, I would like to take bpc 157 I had a broken femur surgery 2 weeks ago. But I had testicular cancer 10 years ago now its completely gone. Do you think it's safe for me to use this peptide. Thanks a lot for you reply.

[@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.

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 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!

[@scharabaty]

Hi doctor do you have anecdotal estimate on % of people who respond to it? (I have a SIJ ligament injury). And is it safe to do it while doing prolo since bpc is anti inflammatory? Thanks!

[@DrewTimmermansND]

BPC-157 isn't anti-inflammatory in the traditional sense, meaning it doesn't suppress inflammation. As it help resolve inflammation (which is very different), it can be used in conjunction with prolotherapy. Anecdotally, we see approximately 70-80% of patients respond positively once they start BPC-157

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. They had to sell off old stock, which is why they have BPC complex (which is the unconcentrated form) on their website.

Hi Doc, thank you for the very informative video! I wanted to ask whether the 500mcg oral dose is intended to be taken once or twice per day? I assume that it's intended to be a single dose of 500mcg once per day, but on the label of the product you recommend, it says "take 1 tablet twice daily". 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.
