PH-BPC157-001
Specifications
Description
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice proteins. This 15-amino acid sequence has emerged as one of the most extensively studied peptides in tissue repair and regeneration research.
Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 demonstrates pleiotropic beneficial effects primarily mediated through promotion of angiogenesis via enhanced vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. The peptide stimulates growth hormone receptor expression and modulates nitric oxide synthase pathways (Seiwerth et al., 2021). Research shows accelerated tendon healing through cell migration and survival (Chang et al., 2011).
