BPC-157

The healing peptide for gut, joints, and skin

Body Protection Compound-157 is a 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protein found in gastric juice, administered orally (for gut-systemic effects) or subcutaneously (for targeted tissue repair) at 250–500mcg per day. BPC-157 accelerates healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and gut lining by upregulating growth hormone receptors and promoting angiogenesis. In the looksmaxxing context, it is used for accelerating skin wound healing, reducing inflammation that drives acne and redness, and repairing gut lining that contributes to the gut-skin axis. Currently legal as a research chemical in most jurisdictions; not FDA-approved for human use. Human evidence is limited — most data is from rodent studies, though anecdotal reports from the biohacking community are extensive.
