BPC-157

Investigational Peptide

An investigational synthetic peptide studied in preclinical tissue-repair models; human evidence remains very limited.

Insufficient human evidenceLast reviewed October 27, 2026

BPC-157, commonly described as Body Protection Compound-157, is a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids. It has attracted research interest because laboratory and animal studies have examined its possible roles in tissue repair, inflammation, gastrointestinal protection, and responses to injury. These findings remain investigational and should not be interpreted as established human therapeutic effects.
