Description
What are BPC-157’s main benefits?
More research is needed to determine whether BPC-157 has any potential benefits in humans. Studies conducted in rodents and cultured cells have suggested that BPC-157 may support the healing of various tissues, including tendons, joints, nerves, the intestinal tract, the stomach, and skin.
How does BPC-157 work?
BPC-157 has various possible (potentially overlapping) mechanisms of action, including promoting nitric oxide synthesis, activating cells involved in tissue repair, stimulating the synthesis of growth factors, and inhibiting inflammation.
BPC-157 can be taken orally, topically, or via injection. Oral ingestion of peptides like BPC-157 wouldn’t normally be expected to have a direct effect on tissues outside of the gastrointestinal tract (like tendons and nerves) because peptides aren’t easily absorbed into circulation. However, studies in rodents have suggested that oral ingestion can have systemic effects, meaning that the feasibility of this route of delivery can’t be ruled out.
What is BPC-157?
Body Protection Compound 157 (BPC-157) is a peptide composed of 15 amino acids. Although the researchers who patented BPC-157 say that it was derived from a stomach protein, this claim isn’t well-substantiated. BPC-157 is thought to improve the repair of damaged tissues, although there is currently no human evidence to support this hypothesis.
What are other names for BPC-157
Note that BPC-157 is also known as:
- PL 14736
- PL-10
- Bepecin
BPC-157 should not be confused with: TB-500
