It comes as a capsule, liposomal (liquid), or transdermal spray
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from gastric juice protein sequence, studied for inflammatory signalling, cytoprotection, and tissue repair across tendon, ligament, muscle, and GI models
Peptides are usually injected because gastric acid and digestive proteases degrade them, the intestinal wall blocks large hydrophilic molecules, and molecular size limits passive absorption
That doesnt mean BPC-157 as a medication is irrelevant to the biohacking conversation, but it does mean it should be approached as a cautionary example of how online interest can outpace the evidence
