BPC57, short for body protection compound 157, BPC57 is one of the most popular and controversial peptides out there. The one people call a recovery miracle and regulators call a headache. It’s a lab-made fragment of a protective protein found in your stomach. Inside your body, that protein helps repair tissue and calm inflammation. So, the logic is simple. Make more of it heal faster. That’s the claim anyway.
You’ll see BPC-157 talked about as the cure for inflammation and injuries throughout the body. Tendons, muscles, joints, even the gut lining. In animal studies, wounds closed quicker, joints recovered sooner, and stomach ulcers actually healed. In humans, the evidence is still thin. Most of what you hear comes from people experimenting on themselves and comparing notes online.
The most common way to use it is through small under the skin injections, usually near the injury or into belly fat. Some try oral capsules or nasal sprays, but your stomach acid tends to destroy most synthetic peptides before they can do much. Injections are the version people swear by because at least they know it’s getting into the system.
