Pentadecapeptide is the 15-amino-acid peptide BPC-157, and oral pentadecapeptide is BPC-157 taken by mouth. Protocol Health prescribes it case by case at our Scarsdale, NY clinic under physician supervision, after explaining that nearly all its evidence comes from animal and cell studies.
Consultation $249, or $349 with blood work.
BPC-157 has never been FDA-approved for any use, in oral or injectable form, so using it is unapproved rather than off-label. The FDA has said compounded BPC-157 may carry a risk of immune reactions and impurities.

Pentadecapeptide and BPC-157: the same molecule
Pentadecapeptide simply means a peptide of 15 amino acids, and in practice it refers to BPC-157. Oral pentadecapeptide is BPC-157 taken by mouth rather than injected, which is why it comes up in gut-focused conversations. The research is almost entirely in animals and cells, so it is offered with that said plainly.
