Healing & Recovery
BPC-157
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It promotes tissue repair through upregulation of nitric oxide synthesis and enhanced angiogenesis. Research has demonstrated its potential in accelerating healing of tendons, ligaments, muscle, and gastrointestinal tissues in animal models.
