BPC-157: The Healing and Regenerative Peptide

What is BPC-157?

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in gastric juice. It has been studied for its potential to enhance tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and support gut health.

How Does BPC-157 Work?

  • Stimulates Angiogenesis – Increases blood vessel formation to improve nutrient flow to damaged tissues.
  • Supports Collagen Production – Enhances tissue regeneration and repair.
  • Reduces Inflammation – Helps regulate inflammatory responses, reducing pain and swelling.
  • Enhances Growth Hormone Receptor Expression – Amplifies the effects of GH-related peptides, aiding in recovery.
