BPC-157- Summary
- HGH Fragment 176-191 (also known as AOD-9604) is a stabilized, modified fragment of the human growth hormone molecule corresponding to amino acids 176–191 with an addition of a tyrosine residue at the N-terminus. It retains HGH's fat-burning properties without the anabolic, diabetogenic, or IGF-1-stimulating effects.
- BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protective protein found in the stomach. It is one of the most extensively researched healing peptides, known for accelerating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and protecting the gastrointestinal tract.
