How BPC-157 Works: The “Wolverine” Peptide
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157, short for “Body Protective Compound-157,” is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein found in human gastric juice. This peptide has been widely studied in preclinical models for its potential to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration—earning it the nickname, *“The Wolverine Peptide.”*
How It Works
BPC-157 is believed to influence multiple healing and regulatory pathways in the body. Its mechanisms include:
• Promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels)
• Enhancing fibroblast migration for wound repair
• Supporting collagen production and tissue regeneration
• Modulating nitric oxide pathways for improved blood flow
• Reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines at injury sites
Areas of Research Interest
Researchers are actively exploring BPC-157 for a variety of potential applications, including:
• Tendon, ligament, and muscle healing
• Joint and connective tissue support
• Gut lining and intestinal integrity
• Neuroprotection following injury or inflammation
• Accelerated recovery post-surgery or trauma
