BPC-157 has been shown to accelerate the healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments and inflammatory bowel disorders such as ulcers, leaky gut, and Crohn’s disease.
BPC-157 is a penta-decapeptide composed of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of the body protection compound (BPC) that was discovered in and isolated from human gastric juice. Animal studies have shown it to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including muscle, tendon and damaged ligaments. Additionally, BPC 157 has shown to protect organs and aids in the prevention of gastric ulcers. BPC-157 acts systemically in the digestive tract to combat leaky gut, IBS, gastro-intestinal cramps, and Crohn’s disease. This peptide has been known to exhibit analgesic characteristics. Research has shown its ability to help skin burns heal at a faster rate by increasing blood flow to damaged tissues. BPC-157 significantly accelerates reticulin and collagen formation as well as angiogenesis together with stimulation of macrophages and fibroblasts infiltration representing a potential therapeutic tool in wound healing management.
Research
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a portion of the protein known as BPC, which has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects, particularly in tissue repair and gastrointestinal health. Here are some studies and sources related to BPC-157:
