Also known as: Body Protection Compound-157, Pentadecapeptide
A 15-amino-acid peptide derived from human gastric juice with potent tissue-healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide — a 15-amino-acid fragment derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It has demonstrated remarkable healing properties across multiple tissue types in preclinical research.
Over 100 published studies demonstrate BPC-157's healing properties. Most research is preclinical (animal models), but the breadth and consistency of results is remarkable across muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, gut, brain, and vascular tissues.
BPC-157 modulates the nitric oxide (NO) system, upregulates growth hormone receptors, and promotes angiogenesis through VEGF pathways. It interacts with the FAK-paxillin pathway to accelerate tendon healing and modulates serotonin, dopamine, and GABAergic systems for neuroprotective effects.
