Understand Oral Bioavailability
Most peptides are destroyed by stomach acid and digestive enzymes — oral bioavailability is very low for most compounds.
BPC-157 is the notable exception — it appears to retain activity when taken orally due to its gastric origin.
Oral administration of other peptides is generally not recommended.
Capsule Preparation
The lyophilized powder is the standard form for oral use.
Weigh your dose on a precision milligram scale.
Fill empty gelatin or vegetarian capsules with the measured powder.
Pro Tip
For gut-specific goals (IBD, leaky gut, GERD), an orally-active peptide like BPC-157 may be preferred over injection, as it delivers the compound directly to the GI tract.
