USA-Made BPC-157 For Sale at PeptideShop
Body protection compound 157, or BPC-157, we have for sale, is an overall body protection compound fragment that’s 15 amino acids long, falling under the pentadecapeptide category. BPC-157 is derived from gastric juice and, as such, is much more stable and, above all, resilient to the destructive enzymes commonly found in gastric juice.
Research around BPC-157 showed its incredible cytoprotective properties, as it provides cell protection against gastric mucosal injury. Researchers believe this peptide plays an important role in the brain-gut axis and enables this communication between our central nervous and endocrine systems.
For this reason, back when it was first discovered, BPC was deemed an exciting new compound intended to be used in treating organ, digestive tract, and skin wounds and injuries.
Sadly, this potential still remains untapped as there were not many studies involving human test subjects, so BPC-157’s effect on humans has not yet been fully investigated.
On the contrary, we have many animal studies showing a positive, regenerative, and an overall healing effect on problems involving soft tissues, muscles, ligaments, skin, internal organs, and even some more severe conditions such as Crohn's disease and leaky gut. Speaking of skin, BPC-157 was able to speed up collagen production, chemical wound healing, and an increase in circulation.

Wound Healing
Of course, we still lack human studies, but we have quite a few studies on animal subjects. One such study was designed to test BPC-157’s effect on fibroblast proliferation. Fibroblasts were isolated from the Achilles Tendon and treated with BPC in different concentrations over a period of 24 hours.
Researchers observed an increase in the expression of growth hormone receptors in these tendon fibroblasts. These fibroblasts are essential in storing extracellular matrix proteins (collagen, fibrin, elastin, etc), and treating them with BPC-157 in vitro showed that the cells both proliferated and migrated faster.
To confirm their findings, researchers then repeated the experiment but with altering concentrations over the same course of 24 hours. Findings showed that this concentration altering also reflected cell proliferation and migration.
BPC-157 was also found to have a proliferative effect on GH and, by day three, increasing it sevenfold!
Subsequent studies were also designed to test the effectiveness of this peptide in chemical burns and skin damage, mainly in rats. These rats were subjected to alkali burns, and the results showed that, when treated with BPC, these wounds did heal faster. The exact mechanism associated with faster healing and recovery processes had to do with accelerated tissue formation, collagen deposition, skin remodeling, and an overall recovery promotion.
Vascular Growth
Improved vascularization plays one of the most crucial roles in tissue healing and regeneration as it allows these processes to occur quickly. This is why we pay so much attention to blood vessel growth in wound healing, tumor growth, and tissue regeneration, which takes place after any sort of damage.
Numerous studies we came across all said the same thing - BPC possesses strong angiogenic properties and is able to stimulate blood vessel growth and the proliferation of endothelial cells. Studies also indicated that it does so through stimulation of the cell surface receptor - VEGFR2 (a receptor that plays a crucial role in endothelial cell development).
One particularly interesting study was done in rats with the intention of figuring out if BPC-157 can help with intestinal lesions caused by venous occlusions (blockages). Once administered, the peptide quickly moved past this blockage and was able to rescue the affected lesion by promoting and improving the blood flow.
On the subject of intestinal problems, further studies showed huge potential in dealing with colitis or intestinal ischemia, where the blood flow was quickly restored and the area reactivated with the help of collateral blood vessels being formed.
Another rat study showed that, by using BPC, researchers were able to quickly rid the test rat subjects of various vein injuries, thrombosis, and prolonged bleeding.
Tendon healing
The problem with tendons is generally twofold:
- They occur often and
- The treatment and healing process is hard and takes too long
This is why the researchers are on the lookout for new, more effective ways of treatment… and BPC-157 is seen as one such potential.
As we already mentioned, in animal studies, BPC was able to increase the proliferation of new blood vessels, improve circulation, and promote overall regeneration in not only tendons but various other tissues throughout the body.
Most recent rat studies concluded that, in muscle, bone, and soft tissue injuries, this peptide was more effective than the hormones bFGF, EFG, and VGF. Furthermore, it’s proved to be a potent stimulator in cell migration necessary for cell survival and tendon cell growth.
Antioxidant Effects
It’s not often that we talk about antioxidant effects when talking about peptides, but animal studies also showed that BPC-157 is a potent antioxidant as it neutralizes oxidative stress (induced by nitric oxide and malondialdehyde). Studies also showed it reduces the production of reactive oxygen species in the GI tract, preventing and treating gastrointestinal inflammation.
Drug Side Effects
Some of the more serious drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can’t be taken for too long since they might induce serious side effects such as:
- Heart problems
- GI tract issues
- Liver problems
- Headache and dizziness, etc.
Various rat studies showed that taking BPC-157 alongside these NSAIDs might eliminate some side effects concerning the GI tract and the development of ulcers, but also brain and heart problems.

*Disclaimer: After everything we’ve learned about BPC-157 from various studies, we’re confident of its effectiveness in treating a number of different wounds and tissue damage, blood vessel proliferation, and even as a potential treatment for oxidative stress. However, the majority of these studies were done on animal subjects, and we have yet to see a conclusive application in humans.
Until this happens, we can only attest to this peptide’s massive potential and see what the future holds for it!
