BPC-157 is a peptide chain which consists of 15 amino acids. BPC-157 is considered to be synthetic because it does not occur naturally in nature. It is made from a protective protein found in the stomach. Several rodent studies have been conducted using BPC-157 and they show that it has protective effects which extend beyond the stomach and intestines. BPC-157 has shown to benefit ulcers in the stomach, damage done to the intestines, the speed at which bones and joints heal and organ also accelerated speeds of healing when it comes to organ damage. BPC-157 has also shown to have some benefits to the brain in this research. The main benefit observed in the rodent research was that BPC-157 seemed to repair cells in joints which will require further studies in humans to know the possible benefits.
