BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. Over the past two decades, it has become one of the most studied peptides in preclinical research, with a growing body of literature examining its effects on connective tissue, tendon healing, and gastrointestinal integrity.

Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 appears to influence several biological pathways simultaneously. Research published in peer-reviewed journals suggests it modulates nitric oxide synthesis, promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), and upregulates growth hormone receptors in tendon fibroblasts.
Key findings from animal model studies include:
- Accelerated tendon-to-bone healing in rotator cuff injury models
- Reduced inflammation markers in colitis models
- Neuroprotective effects in sciatic nerve crush injury studies
- Cytoprotective activity in gastric ulcer models
Current Research Status
As of publication, all BPC-157 research has been conducted in vitro or in rodent models. No peer-reviewed human clinical trials have been completed. Researchers working with this compound should note that results from animal studies do not automatically translate to human physiology.
Storage and Handling
Lyophilized BPC-157 should be stored at -20°C and kept away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, use within 14 days when stored at 4°C.
