oral delivery User types (acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgery, preventive maintenance) General Guidelines Daily use is key BPC-157 works best with consistent exposure over time Longer cycles (46+ weeks) yield better results than short bursts Injectable BPC-157 (subcutaneous or intramuscular) is superior for localized injury repair Oral capsules may be effective for gut healing and systemic inflammation , but less so for joint or tendon issues Acute Injury Protocol Use case : Recent muscle strain, tendon tweak, ligament sprain Duration : 46 weeks Dosage : 250500 mcg once or twice daily Injection : Subcutaneous, as close to the injury site as possible (without direct muscle penetration) Oral : 500 mcg twice daily (alternative if injection not viable) Tips : Pair with ice, compression, and gentle mobilization during week 1 Transition to light rehab work (banded movements, isometrics) by week 23 Maintain protein intake and consider stacking with Krill Oil and Greens + Reds for inflammation control Chronic Injury or Joint Pain Protocol Use case : Tendonitis, joint instability, degenerative wear and tear Duration : 68 weeks minimum Dosage : 500 mcg twice daily Injection : SubQ near affected joint (e.g., patellar tendon, shoulder capsule) Optional Stack : TB-500 for systemic healing, ZMT to support recovery sleep Tips : Combine with soft tissue therapy (e.g., ART, dry needling) Train with joint-friendly movements: controlled eccentrics, banded work, low-impact conditioning Follow a nutrition protocol via The Swole Kitchen to reduce inflammation and support collagen synthesis Post-Surgical Repair Protocol Use case : ACL, meniscus, rotator cuff, labrum, tendon reattachment Duration : 812 weeks Dosage : 500750 mcg/day (split into 2 doses) Injection : SubQ or shallow IM near surgical site (with surgeon clearance) Add-ons : DHEA (100 mg/day) to support anabolic environment Collagen peptides or bone broth ZMT to support quality sleep for tissue remodeling Recovery after surgery involves extensive tissue remodeling and angiogenesis
