BPC-157 is a Pentadeca peptide, i.e., a short sequence of amino acids. Amino acids can be found naturally in the body, however, this one is produced synthetically.
In detail, this peptide is a sequence of 98 hydrogen, 62 carbon, 22 oxygen, and 16 nitrogen atoms – put together, the nitty-gritty chain is spelled out with the following molecular formula:
C62-H98-N16-O22
So much for the fancy formula, but what’s with the name? If you’re curious, the acronym in BPC 157 peptide stands for “Body Protecting Compound”. The body naturally produces BPCs in the gut and stomach which serve to protect the organs from the unwanted activity and helps them heal. The great news is that wherever you put these compounds in the body, they will bring about regenerative properties.
The BPC 157 peptide triggers the formation of new blood vessels, promoting tendon growth and muscle healing. This is a natural process called angiogenesis, used by the body to help it heal from cuts, wounds, and any damage from trauma.
BPC 157 benefits:
- Reduce inflammatory bowel diseases by helping the inflamed lining of the gut heal up
- Causes tendon cells to heal & grow because they increase growth signaling molecules
- Block inhibiting effects from other molecules
- Reduce inflammation in the body
- The brain can also positively be impacted by the substance as it regulates the production of dopamine and serotonin
- Helping people deal with seizures, depression and pain
- Regulation and balance of blood pressure
- Balancing of potassium levels
