BPC 157 is growing in popularity for the treatment of a variety of conditions. BPC-157, or Body Protecting Compound 157 is a naturally-occurring peptide made of 15 amino acids derived from human gastric juices. Medical professionals, including doctors at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic, have been using BPC-157 peptide therapy to help their patients for years.
BPC-157 peptide therapy uses BPC-157 in a highly concentrated form and is available as an injectable and as an oral supplement. Which method of delivery you receive will depend on what condition you are seeking treatment for. It’s important that BPC-157 therapy be closely supervised by a medical professional.
