Abstract

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a gastric protein. This structured review maps the available mechanistic and preclinical evidence across tissue repair, inflammatory modulation, and vascular pathways. Analysis is limited to published peer-reviewed animal and in vitro studies. No dosage recommendations are provided. Human clinical trial data is absent for most indications.
