What is this compound?
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a naturally occurring protein found in gastric juice. It has been extensively studied in preclinical models for its remarkable regenerative properties across a wide range of tissues including tendons, ligaments, muscle, nerve, and gut mucosa. Research suggests it may accelerate wound healing and modulate multiple growth factor pathways.
Tendon and ligament repair acceleration
Gut lining protection and restoration
Muscle healing and anti-inflammatory effects
Nerve regeneration support
Angiogenesis promotion for improved blood flow
Cytoprotective effects on the GI tract
How it works
BPC-157 is thought to interact with the nitric oxide (NO) system and upregulate the expression of growth factors such as VEGF, EGF, and FGF. It appears to modulate the FAK-paxillin pathway, promoting cell migration and wound closure. Additionally, research indicates interactions ...
