BPC-157
Research PeptideAlso known as: Body Protection Compound 157, Pentadecapeptide
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It has shown remarkable healing properties in animal studies.
How It Works
BPC-157 promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), modulates nitric oxide synthesis, and influences growth factor expression to accelerate tissue repair.
What Research Shows
Key Findings:
- Accelerates tendon and ligament healing in rats
- Promotes angiogenesis in animal models
- Shows gastroprotective effects
Limited Human Research
Most research on BPC-157 has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.
