BPC (Body Protection Compound)

A family of peptide sequences originally isolated from human gastric juice. The most researched variant, BPC-157, is a 15-amino-acid partial sequence of the naturally occurring BPC protein. Research has extensively studied BPC-157 in animal models for its effects on tissue repair mechanisms, including tendon, ligament, muscle, and gastrointestinal tissues. Its proposed mechanism involves modulation of growth factor expression and nitric oxide signaling pathways.
