In animal models, BPC-157 has demonstrated remarkable properties across multiple organ systems: Tissue repair: Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and skin (Sikiric et al., 2018) Gastrointestinal protection: Protects and heals the gut lining, reduces intestinal inflammation, and counteracts NSAID-induced damage (Sikiric et al., 2016) Anti-inflammatory effects: Reduces systemic inflammation and modulates inflammatory cytokine expression Angiogenesis: Promotes new blood vessel formation, improving blood flow to injured tissues (Hsieh et al., 2017) Neuroprotection: Shows protective effects on the central and peripheral nervous system in animal models Nitric oxide modulation: Interacts with the nitric oxide (NO) system to support vascular health and tissue perfusion The peptide is sometimes called a healing peptide because of its broad tissue-protective properties
It is important to note that B12 levels should ideally be measured before commencing replacement therapy, as supplementation rapidly normalises biochemical markers, potentially obscuring the diagnosis
Pt with total gastrectomy or ileal resection
Originally derived from growth hormone, this peptide is known for supporting fat metabolism without impacting blood sugar or growth pathways
We will talk more about why that makes no sense at all below but you should be aware here that serum B12 testing is very inaccurate and shouldnt be used to guide dosing
