BPC-157
What it is
BPC-157 is a 15 amino acid peptide: Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val. It is a piece of Body Protection Compound, a protein the stomach makes to protect itself. It is stable in gastric juice, so it holds together where most peptides break down. It is the body's own repair signal, made in a lab in pure form.
