BPC-157 Tendon & Ligament Repair Protocol

Tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue recovery

BeginnerBPC-157Last reviewed 2026-08-29

Overview

BPC-157 is one of the most widely discussed "recovery" peptides in enthusiast circles, most often used around an existing soft-tissue injury (tendon/ligament strain, joint irritation) or a period of heavy training load. Community convention favors dosing close to the injury site when practical, alongside a systemic dose.

Dosing schedule

Informational only — not medical advice.

PhaseAmountFrequencyTimingRoute
Standard250–500 mcg1–2x/dayAM and/or pre-trainingsubcutaneous injection

Administration

Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Many users inject subcutaneously near the affected joint/tendon in addition to (or instead of) a systemic abdominal injection. Refrigerate after reconstitution; commonly cited as one of the more stable reconstituted peptides.

Cycle length

4 weeks on, 4 weeks off. Often run continuously through an injury's recovery window, then discontinued.

Stacking

  • TB-500 — Commonly paired for soft-tissue recovery — different mechanism (actin regulation vs. growth-factor pathways), community convention is the two are complementary.

Precautions

  • Not studied in controlled human trials at meaningful scale — nearly all data is preclinical/rodent.
  • Discontinue and seek medical attention for any signs of allergic reaction at the injection site.
  • Do not use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or with a history of cancer (angiogenesis-related theoretical concern).
