Overview
Tissue healing and injury recovery

BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids derived from a protective protein found in human gastric juice. Although not FDA-approved, it has gained significant attention in research and athletic communities for its potential regenerative properties. Studies suggest it may accelerate healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even the gastrointestinal tract. Most evidence comes from animal studies, with limited human clinical data available.
