How It Works

  1. Decide which peptide you think is right for you. Not sure which one? Our nurse will help you choose.
  2. Link up with us on the phone or video. Pick a time with our nurse, then fill out a short health form (about 10 minutes). If it’s right for you, you can get your prescription the same day, on the call.
  3. Get the product shipped to your house, or pick it up in the store. Then we’ll discuss the best way for you to get it, whether you pick it up at our clinic or have it shipped to your house at no extra charge.

Is BPC-157 Right for You?

BPC-157 is prescribed after a consultation, once a provider reviews your history and goals. It is most often considered by people focused on recovery and connective-tissue support.

Active people managing a nagging tendon, ligament, or soft-tissue issue

Anyone prioritizing recovery between training blocks

People interested in gut-lining support alongside standard care

The only way to know if it fits is a free consultation with our medical team, who confirm whether it is appropriate for you.

What BPC-157 Is Studied For

BPC-157 has been studied mainly for tissue repair and recovery, in lab and animal research.

Clinicians who use it tend to focus on muscle, joint and gut concerns.

It’s prescription only, decided case by case with our medical team.

Recovery of tendons, ligaments, and muscle after strain or injury

Support for the lining of the stomach and intestines

A calmer inflammatory response in irritated tissue

Formation of new small blood vessels in healing tissue (angiogenesis)

What the Research Shows

Nearly all BPC-157 research is in animals. In people, only a few small studies exist, and none published in full had a comparison group.

1993, Animal Studies (Journal of Physiology, Paris)

Researchers described BPC-157, a 15-amino-acid piece of a peptide found in stomach juice, and reported protective effects across many animal injury models.
1993 study on PubMed

2026, Review of Human Studies (Acta Orthopaedica Belgica)

A systematic review found only 3 human studies, 30 people in all (knee injections, a bladder treatment, an IV infusion). All were of poor quality with no comparison group, and the certainty of the evidence was rated very low.
2026 review on PubMed

BPC-157 is not FDA-approved for any use. These studies don’t show that it treats any condition in people, and safety data in people are limited. Your free consultation with a nurse practitioner is the place to talk through what is and isn’t known.

Important Information

Most peptides are not FDA-approved for the uses discussed publicly, and are prescribed at the discretion of a licensed provider after an individual evaluation. A peptide is not appropriate for everyone, and individual results vary.

Peptide therapy at Cienega Medical is available by prescription only. You start with a consultation with one of our nurse practitioners, who reviews your health history, your goals, and whether a peptide is appropriate for you. If it is, they write the prescription and we prepare it for your visit. If it is not, they will tell you that too.

What Is BPC-157?

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide studied for recovery and tissue repair, mostly in lab and animal research so far.

It is not FDA-approved.

In July 2026 an FDA advisory committee recommended letting licensed pharmacies compound it, which is not an approval.

FAQ

  • What is BPC-157, and what is it studied for?

    BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide studied mainly in preclinical (laboratory and animal) research on recovery and repair. Human clinical evidence is limited and no health benefits have been established. A single-bottle blend containing BPC-157, KPV and TB-500, two other peptides studied for repair and inflammatory signalling, is also available. Which one fits, if either, is a decision your nurse practitioner makes with you at the free consultation.

  • Is BPC-157 FDA-approved?

    No. BPC-157 is not currently FDA-approved. In July 2026, an FDA advisory committee voted to recommend allowing licensed pharmacies to compound BPC-157, and that recommendation is now in the FDA's formal review process, not an approval of BPC-157. We provide it by prescription only, following a free nurse practitioner consultation to decide whether it is appropriate for you.

  • What are the risks of BPC-157, and who should avoid it?

    BPC-157 is not right for everyone. Your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and existing conditions before prescribing, and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list to your free consultation.

  • What does it cost, and what is included?

    Bottle prices are listed on this page. Every order includes one medication review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.

  • How do I start?

    Pick a time for a free telehealth visit with a nurse practitioner, by phone or video. Before your visit, you fill out a short health form. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus one medication review fee.

  • Where does my prescription come from?

    Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.

  • How long does a bottle last, and how do refills work?

    That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. You can order as many bottles as your nurse prescribes while you’re on the call, and when you need more, book another call online or call us. Each call where you order adds one $49 medication review. Nothing renews on its own. If you’d like bottles sent on a regular schedule, ask your nurse: it’s worked out case by case, since everyone’s prescription is different.

  • Can I collect it or have it shipped?

    Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to inject it, all covered by the medication review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge.
