Description

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids, derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. Research has focused on its role in tissue repair mechanisms, angiogenesis, and cytoprotective processes across various tissue types including tendon, muscle, and gastrointestinal tissue. It is among the most widely studied healing peptides in current research and is supplied in lyophilised form for research purposes.
