BPC-157 Research Guide
Full name: Body Protection Compound-157
A pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice that promotes wound healing and tissue repair. Demonstrates remarkable regenerative properties across multiple tissue types including tendon, muscle, and nervous system.
How BPC-157 Works
Upregulates growth factor expression including VEGF and promotes angiogenesis, modulates nitric oxide system, and interacts with the dopaminergic system.
Dosing Protocol
- Typical dose: 250-500 mcg per dose
