Athletes recovering from tendon injuries report that adding cold therapy to their BPC-157 protocol accelerated return to training
A bacteriostatic water multi-use vial can be recapped and stored (usually at room temperature) for later use, but healthcare facilities typically mark the vial with the date it was opened and ensure its discarded after 28 days (or sooner if the manufacturer specifies) to minimize infection risk
The mechanism likely involves both the anti-inflammatory properties of BPC-157 and its promotion of collateral blood flow to oxygen-starved tissue
Its pharmacologic activity is destroyed by heavy metals (iron) and strong oxidizing or reducing agents (vitamin C), but not by autoclaving for short periods of time (15-20 minutes) at 121C
