Overview

BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide with extensive regenerative properties documented across dozens of animal model studies. It promotes angiogenesis, accelerates wound healing, and exhibits pronounced gastroprotective and neuroprotective effects.

Treatments studied

Treatment categories

Gut & GI disorders

Originally derived from gastric juice, it directly promotes healing of the stomach and intestinal lining.

Inflammatory conditions

Reduces pro-inflammatory signaling while promoting the blood vessel growth needed for tissue repair.

Musculoskeletal injury

Stimulates angiogenesis and activates cellular repair pathways at the site of injury.

Neurological support

Modulates dopamine and serotonin systems while protecting neurons from injury-related damage.

Tendon & ligament repair

Activates the FAK-paxillin pathway, driving cell migration and collagen formation in connective tissue.

Wound healing

Increases nitric oxide and VEGF, accelerating new blood vessel formation into damaged tissue.
