What it is

BPC-157 is a short chain of amino acids based on a protein found in stomach fluid. Research looks at how it affects the healing of tendons, muscle, and the lining of the gut.

Most used for

  • Tendon and ligament repair
  • Muscle strain recovery
  • Gut lining and digestive irritation
  • Joint discomfort after training

These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.
