BPC-157
Also known as Body Protection Compound 157 - PL 14736
Research peptide with strong preclinical data on connective-tissue repair. Limited human evidence.
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protein in gastric juice. Preclinical studies show angiogenic and tissue-repair effects on tendon, ligament, and gut lining. Human clinical trial evidence is still limited to small series. ALUKARD offers it as a supervised, time-limited cycle (typically 4-6 weeks) for specific recovery indications paired with a rehab plan - not as a standing order or open-ended protocol.
