Scientific overview
Body Protection Compound-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from human gastric juice protein BPC. It upregulates growth factor expression (EGF, HGF, VEGF), activates the FAK-paxillin pathway promoting angiogenesis, and modulates the nitric oxide system. Demonstrates cytoprotective activity across GI, musculoskeletal, and neurological tissues, with particular efficacy in tendon-to-bone healing models.
