BPC-157 Ban

Meaning

The BPC-157 ban refers to the regulatory action taken by major international sports and anti-doping organizations to prohibit the use of the synthetic peptide BPC-157. BPC-157 is a synthetically produced peptide fragment derived from a larger body protection compound found in human gastric juice. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has included it on its Prohibited List due to its potential for non-therapeutic enhancement of performance and its unapproved status as a therapeutic agent. This prohibition dictates that athletes under WADA jurisdiction cannot use the compound, reflecting a clinical and ethical stance on unapproved substances.
