BPC-157

Body Protection Compound-157 (Gastric Pentadecapeptide)

Overview

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It has demonstrated remarkable healing properties across multiple tissue types, including tendons, ligaments, muscles, the gut lining, and the nervous system. It is one of the most widely researched and popular peptides in regenerative medicine.

Mechanism of Action

BPC-157 modulates the nitric oxide (NO) system, upregulates growth factor expression (EGF, VEGF, FGF), promotes angiogenesis, and counteracts the effects of NSAIDs on the GI tract. It accelerates tendon-to-bone healing by stimulating tendon fibroblast proliferation and migration. It also interacts with the dopaminergic system and has cytoprotective effects on multiple organ systems.
