Description
BPC-157 is a stable gastric pentadecapeptide extensively studied for its potential healing, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective effects. Early research demonstrates its ability to promote angiogenesis, enhance growth hormone receptor expression, and accelerate repair in muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, and gastrointestinal tissues. Its stability in human gastric juice makes it a promising agent for peptide research involving wound healing and tissue regeneration.
