BPC-157 | Peptide Encyclopedia | Auryx
BPC-157 is a physician-reviewed Auryx Learn encyclopedia entry. Body Protection Compound 157 — a 15-amino-acid gastric peptide with systemic healing properties for tendons, joints, gut, and muscles. This page is educational. It is not a dosing guide and not a substitute for a licensed clinician.
How it works
BPC-157 upregulates growth hormone receptors on tendon fibroblasts, accelerates angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) in damaged tissue, modulates nitric oxide systems, and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines. It works both locally at injury sites and systemically when injected or taken orally (oral form benefits primarily the gut lining).
- Accelerated tendon and ligament repair
- Reduced joint inflammation and pain
- Gut mucosal healing (effective for IBS, leaky gut, ulcers)
- Faster recovery from muscle tears and strains
- Neuroprotective effects in animal models
The most widely used recovery peptide. Ideal post-injury, post-surgery, and for chronic joint or gut issues.
Extensively studied in rodent models with hundreds of published studies. Human research ongoing. One of the most researched peptides in its class.
