Stable Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 and Striated, Smooth, and Heart Muscle

This review focuses on the effects of BPC 157, a stable gastric pentadecapeptide, on various types of muscle including striated, smooth, and heart muscle. It explores BPC 157's potential in treating muscle injuries and disabilities arising from different causes. BPC 157 has shown positive healing effects on different injury types in numerous organ systems, especially the muscular system. It also aids in maintaining and recovering smooth muscle function and may promote the recovery of sphincter functions. The review also highlights BPC 157's role in counteracting tumor-induced muscle cachexia and its involvement in resolving activities of the brain–gut and gut–brain axes. Overall, it positions BPC 157 as a promising agent in muscle therapy with high curing potential and safety.

• 1
  BPC 157 therapy shows potential in healing severed myotendinous junctions, combining healing of transected and detached tendons, muscles, ligaments, and bones.
• 2
  BPC 157 therapy may recover muscle disabilities caused by various conditions like succinylcholine, vascular occlusion, spinal cord compression, stroke, traumatic brain injury, electrolyte disturbances, neurotoxins, neuroleptics, alcohol, serotonin syndrome, NO-system blockade, and tumor-cachexia.
