Body Protection Compounds (BPC)-157 is a naturally occurring peptide in human gastric fluid.
While it is currently categorized as a “Research” compound, there are countless athletes, celebrities, biohackers, and a variety of people using BPC-157 for enhancing recovery and performance, or as part of daily wellness routines and longevity protocols.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that BPC-157 exhibits regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects in various tissues throughout the body, including the intestines, skin, tendons, blood vessels, nerves, and brain.
BPC-157 supports the body’s natural healing and recovery processes in part by increasing collagen synthesis and decreasing inflammation associated with physical activity and exercise, as well as the stress and inflammatory damage caused by aging, gut issues, and environmental toxins.
Due to the vast range of benefits, BPC-157, especially the highly bioavailable arginine salt form, which we use in our BPC Gold formula, is quickly becoming recognized as one of the most promising joint health, gut health, and regenerative supplements of our time.
How It Works & The Key Benefits
Faster Muscle and Joint Recovery
BPC-157 is one of the most promising compounds for muscle and joint recovery due to its unique ability to accelerate healing across multiple types of connective tissues- including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and gut lining.
It works by promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), which improves blood flow to damaged areas and supports faster tissue regeneration.
Additionally, BPC-157 enhances collagen synthesis and supports the structural integrity of tendons and ligaments, making it especially beneficial for injuries that typically heal slowly.
Preclinical studies also show that BPC-157 can reduce inflammation, protect muscle fibers from oxidative stress, and restore function even in severely impaired joints.
Gut Repair and Digestive Health
BPC-157 offers powerful support for gut and digestive health by promoting rapid healing of the gastrointestinal lining and reducing inflammation throughout the digestive tract.
It has been shown to accelerate the repair of ulcers, protect against NSAID-induced gut damage, and restore the integrity of the gut barrier.
Preclinical studies also indicate that BPC-157 helps regulate the gut-brain axis, supporting a more balanced stress response that can ease symptoms of digestive discomfort.
Its protective effects extend from the oesophagus to the colon, making it a promising therapeutic candidate for conditions like gastritis, colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Most recently, it has been studied as a potential treatment for leaky gut- a condition linked to nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, and inflammaging (Accelerated ageing caused by chronic inflammation).
Brain & Mood Support
BPC-157 shows remarkable potential for supporting brain health and mood regulation by protecting neurons, enhancing brain plasticity, and reducing inflammation throughout the central nervous system. Preclinical studies suggest it can limit the damage from traumatic brain injuries and strokes, while also promoting the regeneration of nerve pathways.
BPC-157 influences key neurotransmitter systems- including serotonin and dopamine, which may explain its observed antidepressant-like effects in animal models.
Additionally, it appears to stabilize the gut-brain axis, helping to regulate stress responses and mood through its positive impact on gut health.
By supporting both neural repair and gut-brain axis balance, BPC-157 offers a comprehensive approach to cognitive resilience and mental well-being. 7, 8
BPC-157 Safety
To date, BPC-157 studies have shown high safety margins and no toxicity, even at high doses. Anecdotally, many users report great results, with little to no side effects- especially when using oral BPC-157 capsules VS Injectable BPC-157.
Of course, if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, always check with your doctor before adding any new supplement to your daily routine.
