Healing and Regeneration
BPC 157 - Known for its regenerative properties, particularly in healing injuries.
BPC-157 is a lab-made fragment of a naturally occurring protein found in the stomach. Researchers became interested in it because, in animal studies, it seems to help tissues such as tendons, muscles, nerves, and the lining of the gut repair themselves more quickly after injury. The peptide is small enough to remain stable in harsh stomach conditions, and lab tests suggest it interacts with growth-factor pathways that drive new blood-vessel formation and reduce inflammation. Although these effects look promising under a microscope or in controlled animal trials, scientists are still piecing together exactly how the compound works at a molecular level.
