VEGF
Also known as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
A signalling protein that drives the growth of new blood vessels — the primary mechanism behind BPC-157's tissue-repair effects.
Definition
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is a dimeric glycoprotein that stimulates endothelial-cell proliferation, migration and tube formation — the cellular steps that create new blood vessels. New blood supply is a prerequisite for repair at any injury site, which is why VEGF upregulation is the core mechanism cited for BPC-157's clinical effects on tendons, gut lining and connective tissue.

BPC-157Body Protection Compound 157
A 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protein in human gastric juice, studied for gut-lining repair and soft-tissue healing.
MechanismAngiogenesis
The formation of new blood vessels from existing vasculature — the core repair mechanism BPC-157 accelerates via VEGF.
MechanismCollagen Synthesis
The biological process of producing collagen — accelerated by peptides like GHK-Cu and BPC-157 during tissue repair.
