BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157, Laboratory Cipher PL 14736)- synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids. BPC-157 has a wide range of organoprotective effects in conditions of stress. Proteins and peptides of this type are released in the stomach along with gastric juice when exposed to stress factors, including injuries and various diseases and acts as a regulator of anti-adoase protective mechanisms of the digestive system.
Scientists conducted numerous BPC-157 studies on animals, which showed that it has a protective effect that goes beyond the gastric and intestinal tract: BPC-157 helps with stomach ulcers, intestinal damage, such as fistulas and inflammatory diseases, healing of bones and joints, joints, joints sovereigns, as well as with injuries of organs, such as pancreas. Current studies show that the BPC-157 affects several growth factors usually involved in andiogenesis (blood vessel growth) and other processes involved in regeneration after damage. The crucial importance of gastroprotection under the action of BPC-157 in conditions of tissue inflammation, especially in the formation of stress-induced gastric and duodenal ulcers is emphasized.
Pentadecapeptide BPC-157 has shown many potential health benefits. BPC-157 promotes the healing of various injuries and wounds, demonstrating high cytoprotective activity. BPC-157 may prevent, attenuate or reverse the effects of injury, thus counteracting both arterial and venous thrombosis. BPC-157 can balance collagen synthesis and affect hepatic fibrosis in chronic liver injury. The effects of BPC-157 also attenuate dermal, muscle, tendon and ligament fibrosis, scarring and promote function recovery. There is an evidence that BPC-157generates NO under ex vivo conditions. BPC-157 has beneficial effects in animals with stroke, schizophrenia, depression and spinal cord injury within the gut-brain axis. In studies on rats, persistent damage to brain neurons, as well as memory and coordination impairments, were eliminated after the carotid artery occlusion experiment.
Researchers have consistently shown that BPC-157 has a huge number of beneficial effects throughout the body. Theoretically, in the early stages of infection, BPC-157 could interfere with viral replication, improve blood vessel integrity and suppress the onset of virus- induced cytokine cascades.
Human clinical trials are needed to confirm the potential therapeutic use of BPC-157 in patients, as most of the studies talking about the effectiveness of the drug have been done on animals. Below is the list all the most potentially beneficial effects of this peptide.
