Description
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. First described in the scientific literature in the 1990s by Dr. Predrag Sikiric and colleagues at the University of Zagreb, it has since become one of the most extensively studied research peptides, with over 100 published preclinical studies. Its healing properties span an extraordinary range of tissues including tendons, ligaments, muscles, bone, the gastrointestinal tract, peripheral nerves, and the central nervous system. Unlike many peptides that act on a single pathway, BPC-157 appears to be a pleiotropic healing agent that orchestrates multiple repair cascades simultaneously. It has demonstrated efficacy in models of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, fistulas, and even systemic organ damage from NSAIDs or alcohol.
