BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157)
Investigational synthetic gastric-derived peptide (regenerative / cytoprotective) · Pre-filled pen
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide based on a sequence identified in gastric juice. In animal and cell studies it is associated with upregulation of repair-related growth-factor and angiogenic signalling (for example VEGF-linked pathways), collagen and extracellular-matrix (ECM) remodelling, and modulation of inflammation, which underlies research interest in connective-tissue and gut-lining recovery. Well-controlled human evidence remains very limited.
Studied use areas
- Tendon, ligament and musculoskeletal recovery (research context)
- Gastrointestinal barrier and mucosal integrity (research context)
- Wound-healing and tissue-perfusion signalling
- Angiogenesis and local circulation during recovery
- Inflammation balance in the healing microenvironment
Safety & status
- Investigational and not an approved medicine; robust human safety data are lacking
- Prohibited in competitive sport under the WADA non-approved-substance category
- Product purity and source quality can vary and affect risk
- Use only under qualified physician oversight
