BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic 15-amino acid peptide derived from a cytoprotective protein isolated from human gastric juice, demonstrating broad and potent regenerative activity across musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and neurological tissue systems. It accelerates healing of tendons, ligaments, and muscle by stimulating angiogenesis, upregulating growth factor receptors (including VEGFR2 and EGFR), and enhancing nitric oxide production to improve local perfusion. BPC-157 also exhibits robust gastroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, with an extensive preclinical research base supporting its investigation as one of the most versatile tissue-repair peptides currently available.
