Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in gastric juices. It works by stimulating the body's natural healing processes, particularly in the gut, muscles, tendons, and nervous system.
1. Promotes Tissue Repair & Regeneration
- Stimulates angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), enhancing blood supply to injured areas.
- Increases fibroblast activity, essential for collagen production and wound healing.
2. Reduces Inflammation & Oxidative Stress
- Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing chronic inflammation.
- Protects cells from oxidative damage, improving recovery.
3. Supports Gut Health & Mucosal Healing
- Repairs the gut lining, making it beneficial for conditions like leaky gut, IBS, and Crohn’s disease.
- Enhances the secretion of gastric juices and enzymes for improved digestion.
4. Enhances Nervous System Recovery
- Helps regenerate neurons and may aid in recovery from brain injuries, nerve damage, and neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Protect Cardiovascular Function
- May prevent blood clot formation and support overall heart health.
