BPC-157 is a short chain of amino acids, a peptide naturally found in gastric juice. It's often called a "body protection compound" due to its wide-ranging potential benefits, particularly in tissue repair and inflammation modulation. Unlike many compounds that target specific pathways, BPC-157 appears to exert its effects through multiple mechanisms. It may influence growth factor expression, blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), and collagen production, all crucial for healing. Its uniqueness lies in its systemic effects and potential to address a variety of tissue types, from muscle and tendon to gastrointestinal lining and even the nervous system.
