What is BPC-157/TB500/MGF?

BPC-157 may promote faster healing of wounds, including muscle, tendon, ligament, and other soft tissue injuries.

​

BPC-157

BPC-157, or Body Protecting Compound-157, is a peptide chain consisting of 15 amino acids. It is derived from a protein found in stomach acid and is primarily recognized for its powerful healing properties. Research suggests that BPC-157 is effective in speeding up the healing process of various types of tissues, including muscles, tendons, and even nervous system tissues. It is also noted for its anti-inflammatory properties.

​

TB500

TB500, or Thymosin Beta-4, is a naturally occurring peptide present in almost all human and animal cells. It plays a crucial role in building new blood vessels, new small muscle tissue fibers, cell migration, and blood cell reproduction. As a synthetic version, TB500 is used for its remarkable healing effects, especially its ability to promote the upregulation of cells involved in tissue repair. TB500 is particularly famous in the athletic world for its ability to increase flexibility and reduce acute/chronic pain and inflammation associated with muscle tears and tendinitis.

​

MGF

MGF, or Mechano Growth Factor, is a splice variant of IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1). This peptide is produced in muscle tissues in response to mechanical overload and is crucial for the recovery and growth of new cells. MGF initiates muscle satellite cell activation, which promotes the repair and growth of new muscle fibers. It is highly valued for its role in muscle growth, performance enhancement, and its potential in muscle wasting diseases.

​

Who Should Use BPC-157/ TB500/MGF?

Individuals use BPC-157 for purposes such as enhancing recovery from injuries (including muscle and tendon injuries), reducing joint pain, or accelerating wound healing. Athletes, in particular, might be interested in such effects.  BPC Increases stem cell production, Improves  GI mucosal barrier and leaky gut and upregulates growth hormone.

​

Conclusion

Potential benefits involve healing of soft tissue injuries, a possible improvement in joint mobility and a reduction in pain caused by musculoskeletal inflammation.
