BPC-157, an abbreviation for Body Protection Compound-157, derives from body protection compound (BPC), a protein naturally occurring in the human digestive tract. Its primary function involves safeguarding the gastrointestinal lining, promoting healing processes, and fostering the growth of blood vessels.
The synthetic form, BPC-157, consisting of a pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids extracted from the larger BPC protein, has demonstrated the retention of numerous therapeutic attributes akin to its parent molecule. Notably, BPC-157 exhibits effects on:
• Facilitating wound healing
• Encouraging blood vessel proliferation
• Influencing the coagulation cascade
• Stimulating nitric oxide production
• Modulating immune system functionality
• Regulating gene expression
• Managing hormone activity, especially within the gastrointestinal nervous system
