A research peptide
BPC-157 is a small chain of amino acids—the building blocks of proteins. Scientists study it in injury experiments. That does not make it an approved treatment.
Based on: Laboratory research
What this does not prove: Being active in the body does not automatically make something safe.

BPC-157
A synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide studied in injury models. Its research name is not an indication that it is an approved medication.
Evidence context: Experimental compound
Important limit: A biologically active peptide is not automatically safe for human use.
