§ Clinical Evidence

What the Studies Actually Show

BPC-157 is not an FDA-approved drug. The published evidence is preclinical (rodent and in-vitro). We are publishing the evidence summary below so that readers can evaluate the regulatory and scientific status before deciding whether the protocol is appropriate for them.

EndpointFinding
BPC-157 — evidence base1Pre-clinical (rodent and in-vitro) studies suggest accelerated tendon, ligament, and gastrointestinal mucosal healing. No published Phase 2 or Phase 3 human trials. Not FDA-approved for any indication

BPC-157 was added to the FDA's Category 2 list in 2023, reflecting the agency's view that significant safety questions or insufficient evidence currently preclude routine compounding for human use. Some 503A pharmacies still dispense it; reputable providers disclose the regulatory status.

Sermorelin (GHRH analog) — efficacy2Modest, transient increases in IGF-1 and growth hormone pulse amplitude in adults with adult-onset growth-hormone deficiency. Body composition effects are smaller than supraphysiologic GH replacement
Sermorelin — safety2Generally well tolerated; injection-site reactions are the most common adverse event. Long-term cancer-risk data are limited
FDA regulatory status of compounded peptides3Most popular peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, ipamorelin, CJC-1295) are not FDA-approved drugs. Compounded availability is governed by FDA Sections 503A/503B and the agency's Category 1/2 lists
