A 15-amino acid peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. Over 200 peer-reviewed studies have examined its effects on tissue repair, tendon healing, muscle recovery, and gastrointestinal health — with a remarkably clean safety profile across all published research.
Also known as: Body Protection Compound-157, PL 14736, Bepecin
BPC-157 does not work through a single switch. It activates a chain of overlapping biological pathways that each contribute to the healing environment — better blood supply, faster cell movement, and stronger cell survival.

BPC-157 has one of the cleanest safety profiles of any research peptide. No lethal dose has been established in any published study — including studies at very high doses. No serious adverse events have been reported in any published clinical research.
No serious adverse events have been reported in any published study. The absence of an established LD50 — even at high doses in animal studies — sets BPC-157 apart from most research compounds. Its origin from a naturally occurring gastric protein may contribute to its exceptional tolerability.
