Peptide Therapy: BPC 157: Could BPC 157 be the Great Healer
Cureus J Med Sci 2022;14:e25134
Blocking NNMT activity has been shown in research settings to influence body composition, leading to reduced adipocyte size, alterations in fat mass, and measurable changes in plasma biomarkers such as glucose and cholesterol
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) known as Body Protection Compound, based on a partial sequence found in gastric juice
The type of collagen most studied for this use is undenatured collagen (such as UC-II and Vital 3), which is different from the hydrolyzed collagen typically used to improve skin appearance
For research peptides endotoxin tested prior to use, bacteriostatic water enables consistent dilution and repeat access without significantly increasing microbial risk, supporting reproducible experimental outcomes
