BPC-157 peptide is a peptide consisting of 15 amino acids that is structurally similar to proteins and helps maintain cellular function and regulate autoimmune responses. Researchers believe that BPC-157 helps repair the gut lining, enhances the gut microbiome, and promotes greater balance between the gastrointestinal region, the nervous system, and the immune system.
BPC-157 peptide is commonly used as a drug, food or dietary supplement, but is not currently approved for use as a human drug. It is an experimental compound that has been studied for use in inflammatory bowel disease and soft tissue healing, although published clinical trial data are lacking.
