BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protein found in gastric juice, known for its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties. It is not FDA-approved but is used off-label and in research for tissue healing and gut health.
It promotes:
Tissue repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin
Angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
Gut health by protecting the mucosal lining and aiding conditions like ulcers, leaky gut, and IBS
Neuroprotection, supporting recovery from brain and spinal cord injuries
Reduction of inflammation and pain in arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis
BPC-157 works by modulating growth factors, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and enhancing collagen production.
Administered via oral capsules, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injections, it is considered safe with no reported toxicity in animal studies.
Mild side effects may include nausea, dizziness, or injection site irritation.
