Description:

BPC 157 is a pentadecapeptide, meaning that is comprised of a chain of 15 amino acids. It has

been determined to be a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) that can be

isolated from gastric juices located in animal test subjects.

Application:

Because BPC 157 has proven to be isolated from gastric juices, it should not be a surprise to

find that various scientific studies that have been conducted on animal test subjects have been

able to pinpoint several links between the peptide's presence and digestive tract functionality.

Specifically, it has been determined that BPC 157 exhibits the capacity to regulate and control

the manner in which the digestive tract can operate.

One of the ways that BPC 157 accomplishes this is through safeguarding the endothelium, which

is the thin layer of cells that line the blood vessels' interior surface. Another way the peptide

carries out regulatory function is by being a key factor in the process of angiogenesis; that is, the

process in which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing blood vessels.

This latter process is further bolstered by BPC 157's ability to form granulation tissue; this term

references the new connective tissues and tiny blood vessels that develop on the surface of

wound, thus making the peptide an important piece to the overall wound healing process. Further

studies have also shown that the peptide's inherent functionality allows it to contain anti-

inflammatory properties. Additionally, these studies have determined that BPC 157 can also help

in the regulation and control of blood flow throughout an animal test subject's gastro-intestinal
