BPC-157: The Infrastructure Builder BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein naturally found in human gastric juice ($Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val$)
Antimicrobial peptides can help the body fight infectious microbes (bacteria, viruses, and fungi), promote wound healing, increase the production of melanin (a natural sunscreen that protects the skin from sun damage), and whiten the skin (to help with hyperpigmentation or age spots)
BPC-157 is a signaling peptide, not a steroid: It works by upregulating VEGF to grow new capillaries, activating growth hormone receptors in tendon and ligament tissue, and promoting collagen synthesis
