peptides for chronic pain FAQ

Continue the protocol through at least four weeks before evaluating efficacy. BPC-157 works by accelerating tissue repair, not by blocking pain receptors. Subjective pain reduction follows measurable tissue healing, which takes time. Animal studies showing accelerated tendon healing demonstrated the most significant structural improvements between weeks 2–4 of treatment. If pain persists beyond six weeks with no reduction in severity, the pain source may not be structural tissue damage (the mechanism BPC-157 addresses) but nerve sensitization or systemic inflammation requiring a different approach.
