BPC-157Also known as: Body Protective Compound 157, BPC157, Bepecin, Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 Mechanism of Action BPC-157 (Body Protective Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protein sequence found in human gastric juice
This GH receptor upregulation amplifies the anabolic signalling of endogenous growth hormone at the tissue level, independently of GH secretion which is why BPC-157 stacks particularly well with Ipamorelin and GH secretagogues
In the anabolic methionine cycle, niacin, in the form of NAD, is a necessary co-factor for the enzymes dihydrofolate reductase in the folate/tetrahydrobiopterin cycle and S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (1)
Preclinical studies explore how the peptide behaves in in vitro environments and animal models, examining factors such as cellular communication, inflammatory signaling, vascular-related pathways, and structural tissue responses
Results were not statistically significant for weight loss compared to placebo
