MECHANISM OF ACTION
BPC-157 is a small chain of 15 building blocks (amino acids) originally found in the stomach's protective lining. Research shows it helps grow new blood vessels in injured areas, improves blood flow, and kick-starts the repair process in damaged cells. It is also studied for its role in managing inflammation signalling. Studies have looked at tendon injuries, ligament tears, gut damage, bone fractures, and even brain protection. It's one of the most well-researched peptides in the recovery space.
