Description
Body Protection Compound (BPC)-157 is a synthetic peptide composed of 15 amino acids, derived from a protein found in the stomach. It is renowned for its exceptional regenerative and healing properties, making it a subject of extensive preclinical research for tissue repair and recovery. This peptide has demonstrated a remarkable ability to accelerate the healing of various tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even the gastrointestinal tract. It is considered a systemic healing agent, promoting repair at both local and distant sites of injury.
Benefits:
- Accelerated Tissue Healing: BPC-157 has been shown to significantly speed up the healing of various injuries, including tendon-to-bone healing, muscle sprains, and ligament damage. Research by Chang et al. (2011) demonstrated that it promotes the outgrowth of tendon fibroblasts, cell survival, and migration, which are crucial for repairing damaged tissues. A comprehensive review by Gwyer et al. (2019) confirmed its role in accelerating musculoskeletal soft tissue healing.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The peptide exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce pain and swelling associated with injuries and inflammatory conditions.
- Gut Health and Ulcer Healing: BPC-157 has a strong protective effect on the gastrointestinal system, promoting the healing of stomach ulcers and protecting against damage from NSAIDs, as documented in studies by Sikiric et al. (2010).
- Angiogenesis: It promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which is vital for tissue repair and regeneration, enhancing blood flow to injured areas.
Recommended Dosage: The typical dosage for research purposes is 200-500 mcg per day, administered via subcutaneous injection. A 5mg vial provides approximately 10-25 doses, depending on the daily dosage.
Recommended Stacks:
- Healing & Recovery Stack: For synergistic effects on tissue repair and recovery, BPC-157 is often stacked with TB-500 and GHK-Cu.
