BPC-157: molecular data, studies & sources

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide. Much of its published research concerns laboratory and animal models. A human pilot report is included below, but a small pilot study is not a substitute for a large controlled trial and cannot establish general clinical effectiveness or safety.
