(24:24) Available forms of BPC157 (37:00) Got more questions? Key Takeaways: BPC157 is shown in research to have huge healing implications on the GI tract. It originates in the GI tract. It's a compound that can help repair any damage done to the lining of the digestive system, from wounds in the mouth to ulcers in the stomach. It's been used in research to try and heal diseases like Chrons. It also can repair skeletal muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons and ligaments get really poor blood supply, so it's very hard to heal that area. BPC157 drives angiogenesis. It can drive new blood vessels to the area to help heal the injury. BPC157 can be used as an injectable or taken orally. When taken orally, it does wonders for gut health. It can help other issues when taken orally, but it's not as potent as an injectable.
