What is BPC-157 and how does it work?
BPC-157 is a peptide with numerous uses. It is a 15-amino acid peptide derived from body protection compound (BPC) found in human stomach digestive juices. Studies show it accelerates healing of many tissues, including those that typically heal slowly, such as tendons and ligaments.
BPC-157 seems to also balance systemic inflammation, increase blood flow to damaged tissues, and relieve pain.
