Regeneration or Risk? A Narrative Review of BPC-157 for Musculoskeletal Healing.

This narrative review examined the evidence for BPC-157, a synthetic peptide derived from gastric juice, in promoting musculoskeletal tissue healing across multiple tissue types.

The evidence base is primarily animal model and in vitro studies, with very few human clinical trials available to date.
