BPC-157
well-studiedA gastric pentadecapeptide with potent healing and anti-inflammatory properties. The most researched recovery peptide.
Overview
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It has been extensively studied for its regenerative effects on tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the gut. Research shows it accelerates wound healing, protects organs, and reduces inflammation through multiple mechanisms including upregulation of growth factor expression and nitric oxide synthesis.
Most human evidence is anecdotal, but animal studies are remarkably consistent across dozens of research teams. It remains one of the most popular peptides in the biohacking and recovery communities.
