BPC-157
Body Protection Compound
A synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice.
Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) discovered in and isolated from human gastric juice. Research suggests it promotes healing of various tissues including tendons, muscles, the nervous system, and the gastrointestinal tract.
Research Information
Preclinical research has demonstrated that BPC-157 may accelerate the healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones. Studies in animal models suggest it may promote angiogenesis, upregulate growth hormone receptors, and modulate neurotransmitter systems. Research has also explored its cytoprotective effects on the gastrointestinal lining.
Research Dosage Reference
Research protocols typically use doses ranging from 1–10 mcg/kg body weight. Standard vials contain 5mg lyophilized powder. All dosing information is for research reference only.
