Neuroprotection

Neuroprotection research asks whether certain peptides can shield nerve tissue from damage or support its recovery. For most peptides this work is early-stage and based on animal models, so it should be read as preliminary.

BPC-157

Body Protection Compound 157

BPC-157 is a lab-made peptide based on a protein found in stomach fluid. In animal studies it appears to speed the healing of tendons, muscle, and the gut lining. Human evidence is still very limited, so what we know comes mostly from rodents, not people.

Reported neuroprotective effects of BPC-157 in animal models of CNS injury
The review collects animal studies in which BPC-157 was associated with reduced injury markers across several central-nervous-system models. The authors describe the findings as early-stage and emphasize that no controlled human studies support these observations.
