BPC-157 10mg

Description

Gastric pentadecapeptide for tissue regeneration and wound healing research.

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a 15-amino acid peptide derived from a partial sequence of human gastric juice protein. Its mechanism of action involves upregulation of growth factor expression including VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), FGF (fibroblast growth factor), and activation of the FAK-paxillin signaling pathway, which collectively promote angiogenesis, fibroblast migration, and collagen deposition. Extensive preclinical research from the laboratory of Predrag Sikiric at the University of Zagreb has demonstrated BPC-157's effects across numerous animal models including tendon transection (Staresinic et al., Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2003), muscle crushing injuries, ligament healing, and gastrointestinal lesion repair. Studies suggest BPC-157 operates through the nitric oxide (NO) system and interacts with the dopaminergic system, which may explain its observed gastroprotective and cytoprotective properties in rodent models. Compared to other tissue repair peptides like TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4), BPC-157 appears to have a stronger affinity for gastrointestinal tissue repair and tendon healing, while TB-500 shows broader systemic tissue migration. BPC-157 is notably stable in human gastric juice, an unusual property for a peptide. Most published research remains in animal models; no large-scale human clinical trials have been completed to date. Store lyophilized powder at -20C; reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and refrigerate at 2-8C for up to 14 days. BPC-157 is among the most widely studied peptides in regenerative medicine laboratories, orthopedic research institutions, and gastroenterology departments.
