In a study involving crushed and cut muscles and tendons, BPC-157 regulated a key growth factor in blood vessel formationVEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)thus encouraging healthy blood flow to the injured sites [7]
It is best known in the repair category because it interacts with signals involved in tissue response, blood-flow formation, collagen activity, gut-barrier integrity, and inflammation balance
The parent BPC protein plays a natural role in protecting the gastrointestinal lining from injury and inflammation
