BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids. It is a partial sequence of body protection compound (BPC) that is discovered in and isolated from human gastric juice.
Researchers have studied BPC-157 extensively for its remarkable healing properties across multiple tissue types, including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and the gastrointestinal tract.
## Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 works through multiple pathways:
- Upregulation of growth hormone receptors
- Modulation of dopamine and serotonin systems
- Promotion of angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
- Anti-inflammatory cytokine modulation
## Reconstitution Protocol
For research purposes, BPC-157 is typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water at concentrations of 500mcg/ml to 1000mcg/ml.
