Peptides are short-chain amino acids found naturally in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and these particular amino acids are designed to augment specific functions within the human body.
Therapy with peptides uses those sequences already present to regulate and rejuvenate functions, basically, they bind to and tell other cells what to do, replacing or mimicking the functions of naturally occurring peptides. Peptides have the capability to rewrite body chemistry relationships to promote restoration, anabolism, and homeostasis.
BPC-157, which stands for Body Protection Compound 157, is a peptide chain that consists of 15 amino acids. Since such a sequence doesn’t exist in nature, the compound is considered synthetic. However, it is based on a protective compound that is present in the human stomach.
BPC-157 works by triggering the formation of new blood vessels, a process that is called angiogenesis. Such activity promotes healing and induces faster regeneration of cells. This activity promotes healing and induces faster regeneration of cells. It also will stimulate the tendon cells to make even more receptors for the growth molecules, which will, in turn, induce them to grow and move during injury repair.
