BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a human gastric protein, studied in animals for its potential to heal tissues like muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and gut, and to reduce inflammation, though it lacks broad FDA approval and is banned in sports due to limited human data. It promotes tissue repair by boosting growth factors and blood vessel formation, but safety concerns exist due to unregulated production and potential for contamination, with risks including injection site issues and unknown long-term effects like carcinogenesis.
