Research models where BPC-157 showed activity: Esophageal, gastric, and duodenal ulcers NSAID-induced small intestinal damage Colonic inflammation and ulceration Post-surgical anastomosis healing GI fistula closure In anastomosis research, BPC-157 improved healing in esophagogastric, jejunoileal, and colocolonic surgical connections
Hematocrit, reticulocyte count, Vitamin B12, folate and iron levels should be obtained prior to treatment
Unlike tablets or capsules, injections bypass the digestive system, which is particularly helpful for people with absorption difficulties or certain medical conditions
