BPC-157

Evidence profile: Preclinical, with limited uncontrolled human reports

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids, derived from a naturally occurring protective protein found in human gastric juice. It has been extensively studied for its regenerative, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties across multiple tissue types. Research has focused on its ability to accelerate healing in tendons, ligaments, muscles, and gastrointestinal tissues. Its mechanisms involve modulation of angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and growth factor signaling, making it a broadly acting repair peptide with both local and systemic effects.
