BPC-157
Body Protection Compound-157
BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids derived from body protective compound found in human gastric juice. This synthetic peptide demonstrates remarkable healing and regenerative properties across multiple tissue types including muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, and gastrointestinal tract. While primarily research-stage, BPC-157 has shown consistent protective effects in over 100 preclinical studies, making it one of the most promising healing peptides under investigation.
Clinical Benefits
Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 exerts its healing effects through multiple molecular pathways including activation of the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS signaling pathway, promotion of angiogenesis via VEGF upregulation, modulation of growth factor expression (PDGF-BB, EGF, FGF), and interaction with the nitric oxide system. It stabilizes gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 by counteracting leaky gut syndrome, promotes collagen synthesis, and demonstrates cytoprotective effects through antioxidant mechanisms and mitochondrial protection.
