Route of Administration How a peptide is delivered dramatically affects how long it stays in the body: Subcutaneous injection : slower absorption, longer duration Intramuscular injection : faster peak concentration, moderate duration Oral and intranasal peptides : often rapidly broken down, requiring protective technologies or higher doses For example, oral BPC-157 may work primarily through gut-localized pathways, while injectable versions may provide broader systemic benefits
