What is BPC-157? A Research-Based Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most studied peptides in the field of tissue repair, inflammation modulation, and gastrointestinal health.
Important Disclaimer:
BPC-157 is sold strictly for laboratory research purposes only. It is not approved by the FDA for human or veterinary use and is not for human consumption. The following information is based solely on scientific literature and preclinical studies.
How BPC-157 Works in Research
BPC-157 is a 15-amino acid peptide studied for its role in:
- Promoting angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
- Enhancing collagen production and cellular migration
- Accelerating the healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and gut lining
- Modulating the nitric oxide and inflammatory cytokine pathways
Researchers are particularly interested in BPC-157 for its regenerative effects across multiple tissue types.
Research-Supported Benefits of BPC-157
Although not FDA-approved for human use, preclinical and in vitro research suggests the following potential benefits:
1. Tendon, Ligament & Muscle Healing
- Speeds up healing of tendons (e.g., Achilles), ligaments, and muscle tissue
- Shown to reduce recovery time and promote more organized tissue repair in rodent models
- Supports fibroblast outgrowth and angiogenesis
2. Gastrointestinal Protection & Repair
- Protects against NSAID-induced ulcers and alcohol-related gut damage
- Studied in models of leaky gut, IBD, and Crohn’s-like inflammation
- Supports mucosal barrier regeneration and capillary stability
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
- Downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB
- Reduces swelling and oxidative damage in injury models
- May modulate immune response in autoimmune or chronic inflammation studies
4. Neuroprotective & Nerve Healing
- Promotes regeneration of peripheral nerves in crush injury models
- Studied for its role in counteracting neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury in rodents
5. Vascular & Cardiac Support
- Enhances blood vessel formation and improves circulation in injured tissues
- Studied for protection in ischemia-reperfusion and heart damage models
