Body Protection Compounds (BPC)-157 is a naturally occurring peptide in human gastric fluid. BPC-157 short for body protecting compound, is a fifteen amino acid chain that plays a role in protecting the body. However, the word “protecting” is perhaps an understatement of this peptide’s potential. Numerous animal studies have shown it has regenerative effects in different tissues of the body including the intestinal mucosa, skin, tendons, cornea, and nerves (Sikiric et al. 2016; Chang et al. 2010). For this reason, the regenerative effects of BPC 157 are being studied and used to help repair soft tissue injuries among others. BPC-157 is a peptide supplement that may help fight inflammation and improve gut health and supports an active lifestyle by aiding the body’s natural healing and recovery processes. BPC-157 does this, in part, by increasing collagen synthesis and decreasing inflammation associated with regular activity, training, and exercise. Your body already produces BPC-157 in small amounts inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but this supplement delivers BPC-157 in an ultra-concentrated and potent form to provide fast-acting repair and relief from occasional body aches and pains. BPC-157 is a peptide composed of 15 amino acids, in a sequence of: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val BPC-157 has enhanced stability compared to other peptides, and is one of the only peptides that is available to be taken as an oral supplement. Because BPC-157 is stable gastrically, it can be taken with or without food once a day. Clinical research has shown BPC-157’s benefits for mental, gastrointestinal, cardiac, and autoimmune health. In each bottle of BPC-157 from Integrative Peptides are 60 immediate-release capsules of 500mcg of BPC-157, designed to be quickly absorbed by the body.
