BPC-157: Mechanism, Published Studies and Recovery Applications

What is BPC-157

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound), 15-amino-acid synthetic peptide from gastric juice protein. Sikiric, 1990s.

Mechanism

• Angiogenesis via VEGFR2.
• Nitric oxide pathway.
• FGF/EGF activation.
• Brain-gut axis.

Key studies

Tendon

Achilles transection: faster collagen organization at 4–6 wk.

Intestine

DSS colitis: reduced ulceration.

Bone

Denser callus at 4 weeks.

Dose ranges

Animal: 10–250 mcg/kg/day. Human self-reported: 250–500 mcg twice daily SC. Descriptive context only.

TB-500 synergy

BPC-157 (angiogenesis) + TB-500 (cell migration) = Wolverine Stack.

vs alternatives

• BPC-157: systemic angiogenesis.
• GHK-Cu: dermal matrix.
• KPV: cutaneous anti-inflammatory.
