BPC-157 is a peptide derived from human gastric juice that has drawn interest for its potential role in restoring intestinal integrity
A deficiency can occur for several reasons, such as pernicious anemia (a condition where the body cannot absorb vitamin B12 from the diet), certain medical conditions (e.g., Crohn's disease, celiac disease), surgical removal of part of the stomach or intestine, or strict vegetarian/vegan diets if not adequately supplemented
These include redness, swelling, tenderness, itching, bruising, and occasionally a small lump or bump under the skin that may persist for several days
