BPC-157

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in the stomach, studied for its potential tissue-healing and anti-inflammatory properties, though human clinical evidence is limited.

What is BPC-157?

BPC-157 stands for Body Protection Compound 157. It is a peptide consisting of 15 amino acids, synthesized from a naturally occurring protective gastric protein. It is primarily investigated for its effects on tissue repair, angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), and inflammation modulation.

Mechanism of Action

BPC-157 appears to interact with multiple molecular pathways related to cell proliferation, migration, and survival, which may support faster healing of:

• Tendons and ligaments

• Muscles

• Gastrointestinal tract lining

• Nerve injuries
