BPC 157
BPC 157, or Pentadecapeptide – is composed of 15 amino acids and is a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) that is isolated from human gastric secretions. In lab studies it has been demonstrated to accelerate healing and decrease pain associated with injury by:
- Promoting tendon-to-bone healing
- Accelerating healing of damaged ligaments
- Repairing muscle damage caused by strains, tears, and crush injuries
- Acceleration healing of skin wounds and burns
BPC 157 is known to prevent and treat damage to the musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and neurologic systems by:
- Protecting the stomach and intestinal linings from the effects of gastric acid, NSAID’s and alcohol
- Promoting new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)
- Reducing inflammation
- Promoting growth of tendon fibroblasts
- Improving digestive function and restoring the integrity of the intestinal lining
- Protecting the liver from toxic insults (alcohol, antiboitoics, etc.)
Research:
Gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 is an anti-ulcer peptidergic agent, is safe in inflammatory bowel disease clinical trials and wound healing, and has no reported toxicity. Notably, it has a prominent healing effect on alcohol lesions (acute and chronic) and NSAIDs-lesions. BPC 157 also prevents and reverses arthritis, acts as a free radical scavenger, and exhibits neuroprotective properties.
