What the evidence says

Evidence Check asks 10 questions about every compound. For BPC-157 it can answer 1 of them, from the papers we hold — graded by how strong the study design is, not by whether the findings are flattering. These are the same verdicts the app gives.

Strongest EvidenceWound healing

Meta-analyses or systematic reviews exist — the highest grade of evidence there is, whatever they conclude. Read them.

Look up the research

These open a search of each database for BPC-157 — they are not citations, and nothing here is evidence for any particular dose. The same links are in the app.

Work it out

Selected published studies

2 papers naming BPC-157 in the title, drawn from PubMed and limited to reviews, meta-analyses and trials. Each was checked against PubMed’s own record for its title, journal and year. This is a starting point, not an evidence review — nothing here is offered as support for the dose range above, and the list is not exhaustive. See the editorial policy.

Where these figures come from

The half-life, route and dose range on this page are compiled from published pharmacokinetic literature, manufacturer and product monographs where one exists, and the ranges commonly reported in clinical and research use. They are kept as a range rather than a single figure because that is what the sources actually support — a half-life varies with route, formulation and the person.

These are not citations, and this page is not a review of the evidence. Where a number matters to you, follow the database links above and read the source. We say so plainly rather than dressing a compiled reference up as one.

Nothing on this page has been reviewed by a named clinician. It is a reference for people already tracking a protocol, not a recommendation to start one.
