BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protective protein found in the human gastric system. Well known within sports and wellness communities, it has been explored for muscle, tendon, and post-training recovery support and has attracted scientific interest for its potential role in tissue recovery, cellular signaling, and repair-related processes across multiple biological systems. More recently, growing interest in regenerative aesthetics has led to BPC-157 being explored in dermatology and professional aesthetic treatments via microneedling, particularly for approaches focused on supporting skin recovery, resilience, and overall skin quality.
