Bpc-157 and its recovery benefits

There are times with my arthritic left shoulder that I would not be able to lift anything–even legs–without dosing BPC 157. I typically have combined it with TB500, but this last go around, I did just BPC 157 and achieved the same result.

Whenever I need it. I do stop it after I feel like an injury is recovering. But the second I feel a “bad” pain, I go back on it, 2-3XED in pretty high doses, usually for about a week or two. I also make a point of injecting RIGHT into the damaged tendon. It hurts and makes my wife wince, but it feels instantly better.

It’s a “no pain, no gain” sorta thing. It really does have an immediate analgesic effect for me. Others have reported the same.

Long term sides by bpc157 include:
- Possibility of cancer or tumor growth. Because BPC-157 stimulates angiogenesis, or the creation of new blood vessels, it may be implicated in the growth of tumors, benign or cancerous, through this mechanism. This is purely theoretical, however.
- BPC-157 is known to cause changes to blood pressure. Typically, it has a stabilizing effect – increasing low blood pressure or decreasing high blood pressure – based on the studies that have been conducted. However, because it has an effect on blood pressure, it is possible for negative changes, e.g. making high blood pressure higher or low blood pressure lower – in some individuals, especially as the mechanism of action for this particular BPC-157 effect (and therefore BPC-157 side effect) is not well understood.
- BPC-157 and other peptides have not been studied in pregnant women, and it is unknown if they may cause harm or toxicity to fetuses. It is also not known if they are passed through breastmilk. Therefore, pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, and women who are nursing, should avoid peptide treatments, including BPC-157, as the potential for unwanted BPC-157 side effects in these cases is not known.
- Some peptides have been implicated in kidney or liver toxicity problems in some studies and patients. While BPC-157 has not specifically been shown to have this problem (and, in fact, improved liver health is one benefit that has been studied), those with existing kidney or liver problems may want to take special precautions and/or avoid this peptide supplement, since BPC-157 side effects in this area are not well known.
- Likewise, BPC-157 has a positive effect on moderating abnormal heart rhythms. Because it can affect these pathways, it, therefore, has the potential to cause unwanted rhythm problems as well and has not been fully studied. People concerned with heart rhythm-related BPC-157 side effects, or with known heart rhythm problems, should take extra care before choosing BPC-157, and discuss their concerns with their doctor, healthcare provider, or prescriber.

It appears to grow existing cancer or tumor cells but not create ones from nothing. It stimulates blood cells allowing them to grow more.

Seems to be that way with most understudied chemicals.
Same thing with HGH and its secretagogues.
There is pretty long history of safe usage of BPC157. Not saying its been thoroughly studied–and of course, it won’t ever be, because its just a form of gastric acid, which is a naturally occurring unpatentable compound–but it is widely used and prescribed at the clinical level, particularly for tendon injuries. There are FB groups that claim the nasal version causes anhedonia. I’ve never experienced any emotional or psychological response using the injectable version.
