BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a stable gastric-derived peptide known for its exceptional ability to accelerate healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the gastrointestinal lining. It modulates growth-factor expression, improves angiogenesis, and protects endothelial tissue, making it a cornerstone peptide in regenerative protocols.
RESEARCH
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from a naturally occurring protein found in gastric juice. It has been studied extensively in laboratory settings for its potential to support tissue regeneration and cell protection. This peptide is supplied in lyophilized powder form to ensure maximum stability during storage.

KEY BENEFITS:
- Stimulates tissue repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the gut lining
- Enhances angiogenesis (new capillary formation) and collagen synthesis
- Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress around damaged tissue
- Protects gastric mucosa and may counter NSAID-related injury
- Speeds recovery from sports injuries and post-surgical procedures
- Improves joint mobility and connective-tissue resilience
MECHANISM OF ACTION (SIMPLIFIED):
- Upregulates growth factors (VEGF, FGF, EGR-1) → angiogenesis & fibroblast activation
- Stimulates fibroblast migration → faster collagen repair
- Down-regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α)
- Enhances nitric oxide signaling → improves blood flow to injured tissue
APPLICATIONS / POSSIBLE USES:
- Soft-tissue injury recovery (muscle, tendon, ligament)
- Gastrointestinal protection & ulcer support
- Systemic or localized anti-inflammatory protocols
- Often paired with TB-500 for enhanced musculoskeletal repair
FORM / NOTES:
- Lyophilized 10 mg vial for reconstitution (2–5 mL bacteriostatic water typical).
- Utilized in research and clinical compounding for regenerative and anti-inflammatory applications.
