BPC actually stands for Body Protecting Compound! It is your body’s protector. Think of your lean tissues (muscle, tendon, ligament) as a brick building and each brick is a protein. Peptides are essentially the cement mix that forms the bricks. By introducing peptides we are basically providing the raw materials to rebuild our bricks (lean tissue). BPC 157 benefits are endless as they provide protection and healing for essentially every part of our body.
BPC 157 is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein called Thymosin beta 4 (commonly known as TB-500). Studies show that BPC 157 improves functional recovery of muscles, tendons, and ligaments as well as providing natural anti-inflammatory properties. BPC 157 works by promoting the natural healing functions in your body. It does this by accelerating the process of Angiogenesis – which is the formation of new blood vessels from old ones, a key process for wound healing. It also increases the production rate of collagen, which is vital in healthy tendon and ligament healing.
Studies also show that BPC 157 is strongly associated with the healing and protection of the gastrointestinal system by protecting it from inflammatory damage. It acts as an antidote to NSAIDs and is beneficial in repairing the damage these medications cause in the gastrointestinal tract, brain, and liver.
