BPC-157
10 mg
Synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 aa), sequence derived from a gastric juice protein fragment.
BPC-157 is among the most extensively studied peptides in rodent models of connective-tissue injury. In transected rat Achilles tendon, systemic and local administration accelerated tendon-to-bone healing and improved biomechanical strength; in vitro, it stimulated tendocyte outgrowth, survival and migration. Proposed mechanisms include upregulation of growth-factor receptor signaling (EGR-1, VEGFR2), modulation of the nitric-oxide system, and effects on angiogenesis. The literature is predominantly rat and mouse; controlled veterinary trials in companion animals have not been published.
