Overview
Mechanism of action
BPC-157 stimulates the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) to promote angiogenesis and activates the FAK-paxillin signaling pathway for cell migration. It also upregulates growth hormone receptors in connective tissue and modulates the nitric oxide (NO) system to protect and repair endothelium and soft tissues.
Reported benefits
- ▸Accelerates healing of tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue
- ▸Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) to deliver nutrients to injuries
- ▸Supports gastric health and repairs gut lining damage (leaky gut, IBS)
- ▸Reduces inflammation associated with chronic joint pain and injuries
- ▸Counteracts damage caused by NSAIDs and alcohol in the GI tract
- ▸Upregulates growth hormone receptors in tendon fibroblasts
Reported side effects
- ·Mild nausea (especially with oral doses)
- ·Headache
- ·Dizziness or lightheadedness
- ·Injection site irritation
- ·Fatigue during the first few days of use
