BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide originally derived from a protective protein in the stomach. It’s widely discussed in the biohacking and regenerative medicine community for its potential healing and recovery properties.
Here are the main purported benefits:
1. Tissue Healing & Repair
Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Speeds up recovery from sprains, tears, and muscle damage.
Supports tendon-to-bone healing, which is notoriously slow with normal recovery.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Reduces localized inflammation in joints, soft tissues, and the gut.
May help protect against chronic inflammatory conditions.                                                 
 
3. Gut & Organ Protection
Originally studied for gastric protection.
May improve healing of ulcers, leaky gut, and inflammatory bowel conditions.
Animal data suggest possible liver protection and neuroprotection.
 
4. Angiogenesis & Blood Flow
Promotes new blood vessel formation around damaged tissues.
Enhances nutrient delivery to healing areas.
 
5. Neurological Support (still early research)
Some animal models suggest neuroprotective effects and possible improvement in nerve healing.
