Product Summary
BPC-157, short for Body Protection Compound 157, is a synthetic peptide originally derived from a naturally occurring compound found in gastric juice. Characterized by its stable 15-amino-acid sequence, BPC-157 has attracted attention from the scientific community for its potential role in supporting tissue repair mechanisms [1]. Although its specific molecular pathways remain under investigation, studies have broadly examined its impact on wound healing, inflammatory modulation, and possibly joint or tendon care.

Potential Research Applications
1. Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration
- Preliminary in vitro and animal model studies suggest that BPC-157 may influence angiogenic factors, collagen production, and inflammatory responses, supporting comprehensive healing processes [2].
- Gastrointestinal Research
- Owing to its origins in gastric juice, some research explores how BPC-157 might modulate mucosal integrity in the digestive tract, offering a controlled model to study protective factors in gut epithelium [3].
- Tendon and Ligament Investigations
- Scientists have conducted experiments to determine the peptide’s effect on soft tissue recovery, aiming to clarify whether BPC-157 could have a supportive role in tendon or ligament repair.
