Description
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein in gastric juice. It is studied for its potential to support tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and cellular signaling in tendon, ligament, muscle, and gut models.
Benefits
- Tendon and ligament repair — studied for accelerating recovery in connective tissues.
- Muscle healing — explored for regeneration after injury in preclinical models.
- Gut protection — linked to gastric and intestinal lining repair research.
- Angiogenesis — promotes new blood vessel formation in healing tissues.
- Cell signaling — associated with fibroblast migration, collagen production, and nitric oxide modulation.
What researchers look at
- Angiogenesis and vascularization in soft tissue recovery.
- Fibroblast migration and collagen deposition pathways.
- Protection of gastric and intestinal lining in animal studies.
- Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory signals in preclinical research.
