Peptides—you have heard of them, but how and when do you use them? These simple short chains of amino acids regulate almost every known system and process in the body, including hormone production. In this lecture you will discover clinical uses of BPC-157. Pentadecapeptide BPC-157, composed of 15 amino acids, is a partial sequence of “body protection compound” discovered in and isolated from human gastric juice. Experimentally, it has been shown to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendon-to-bone healing and healing of damaged ligaments. Additionally, BPC-157 appears to protect organs and to heal and prevent gastric ulcers. This peptide has also been reported to reduce pain in areas of damaged tissue, potentially mitigating the need for narcotic medications. Individuals suffering from muscle sprains, tears, and tissue damage may benefit from treatment with this peptide.
