BPC-157: What It Is, How It Works, Why It Matters and Current Dosing

BPC-157 is one of the most talked-about peptides in the biohacking, longevity, and performance science world — yet most people still don’t understand what it actually does or how it works. In this episode, I break down the real science behind BPC-157, separating hype from reality and giving you a clear understanding of its role in regeneration, recovery, and gut health.

We explore the origins of BPC-157, how it’s derived from a naturally occurring protective protein in the stomach, and why researchers have been fascinated by its effects on healing, inflammation, and tissue repair. You’ll learn how BPC-157 supports angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), stabilizes the gut lining, accelerates tendon and ligament repair, and contributes to nervous system resilience.

This episode covers:

• What BPC-157 is and how it works

• Its effects on gut integrity, ulcers, inflammation, and GI health

• Why athletes and high-performers are interested in tendon and muscle recovery

• How animal studies show neuroprotective and organ-protective properties

• Research-based mechanisms including growth factors, nitric oxide signaling, and angiogenesis

• Educational discussion of research dosing patterns

• Safety considerations, quality control, and misconceptions

• How BPC-157 fits into a broader healing or performance stack

• How BPC-157 is dosed in a research setting

My goal in this episode is simple: give you the clearest, most science-based explanation of BPC-157 so you can understand the peptide from a biological, mechanistic, and evidence-informed perspective — without hype, without fluff, and without misinformation.

If you’re interested in peptides, recovery tools, longevity pathways, or advanced biohacking, this episode will give you the solid foundation you're looking for.
