BPC-157

Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC-157 (also known as PL 14736, Body Protection Compound 157, or Bepecin) is a fifteen amino acid long oligopeptide that was discovered during research on human gastric juice.[1] The amino acid sequence is as follows: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val.[2]

BPC-157 is stable at room temperature and is resistant to hydrolysis, enzyme digestion, and gastric juice.[3]

Research

edit

Pre-clinical research has indicated that BPC-157 may have cytoprotective, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects, and may also accelerate tissue and organ healing.[4][5][6][7] [8][9]

This substance is sometimes used in functional medicine despite not being approved by any drug regulatory agency.[10]

As of 2022, the peptide is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency under the S0 category of non-exempt substances.[11]
