BPC-157

The most-studied recovery peptide — over 100 preclinical papers.

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a stable peptide derived from a human gastric juice protein. It is studied for its role in angiogenesis, nitric oxide signalling and tendon-to-bone healing.

A study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research showed improved Achilles tendon healing in animal models, even in the presence of corticosteroids, which normally impair healing. Protection of the digestive tract is also researched.
