BPC-157, short for Body Protection Compound-157, is a derivative of body protection compound (BPC). BPC is a protein found naturally in the human digestive tract. It plays a significant role in protecting the lining of the gastrointestinal tract from damage, promoting healing, and encouraging blood vessel growth.
Synthetic BPC-157, a pentadecapeptide comprising 15 amino acids isolated from the much larger BPC protein, has been found to retain many of the healing properties of its parent molecule. In particular, BPC-157 has been shown to have effects on:
-
- Wound healing
- Blood vessel growth
- The coagulation cascade
- Nitric oxide generation
- Immune system function
- Gene expression
- Hormone regulation (particularly in the gastrointestinal nervous system)
