BPC-157
Injury, Repair & RecoveryPreclinicalAlso known as: Body Protection Compound, Pentadecapeptide, BPC
Body Protection Compound-157 is a synthetic 15-amino acid peptide fragment derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. Research focuses on its angiogenic properties, tendon and ligament repair, gut health, and neuroprotection.
Overview
Key Takeaways
- →Accelerated healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones
- →Gastric ulcer protection and gut healing
- →Neuroprotective effects
- →Half-life: ~4 hours (stable pentadecapeptide)
At A Glance
BPC-157 upregulates growth hormone receptor expression and modulates VEGF signaling pathways to drive angiogenesis at injury sites. It activates the FAK-paxillin pathway in fibroblasts and tenocytes, accelerating cell migration and proliferation into damaged tissue. Additionally it interacts with the nitric oxide system, modulating NO synthesis to reduce inflammation while preserving vasodilation. In the gut, it appears to protect intestinal epithelium and accelerate mucosal healing through cytokine modulation.
