BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a 15-amino-acid fragment studied extensively in rodents for its effects on wound healing, tendon-to-bone repair, and gastrointestinal protection. Human data remains limited and largely anecdotal.
Reported observations in the informal literature include accelerated healing of ligaments, tendons and gut lining, and reduced NSAID-induced damage in animal studies. It is stable in gastric acid, which is why oral and subcutaneous routes are both discussed.
