Have an achy injury that is keeping you off the pickle ball court or from hiking deep in the woods for the trophy elk you’ve had your eye on? Classic medicine is loading up on a NSAID to put a bandaid on the pain and then power through it. Of course NSAIDs are not without their own risks- stomach ulcers and they can pretty hard on our kidneys. What if we can help heal and decrease inflammation with a peptide instead and have lower risk to our body? That is where BPC-157 can be a great tool for your health journey.
What is a peptide? Peptides are amino acids that can do various things in our body. BPC-157 specifically can help with various aspects in our body from pain and inflammation to gut healing.
Musculoskeletal:
Studies have shown it can help promote tissue healing in our muscles, tendons and joints. Some studies have shown that BPC-157 will increase tissue growth to help heal fractures, muscle tears and ligament ruptures. Have a shoulder that just doesn’t seem to get better with rest or PT? BPC-157 could potentially help heal that shoulder and promote tissue growth and decrease inflammation. When we start to heal the tissue and decrease inflammation pain will generally disappear.
Gut Health
Most of us have an unhealthy gut due to poor nutrition, stress, alcohol use and exposure to environmental toxins. An unhealthy guts leads to poor metabolics, increased inflammation and immune system deregulation. BPC-157 has been found to help increase the strength of the gut lining and encourage ulcer healing in the gut. Our gut health is the foundation of our health so healing and strengthening that will improve numerous aspects of our health.
BPC-157 can be used for acute injury aka a fresh ankle sprain or for chronic management of an old nagging knee or chronic abdominal symptoms. Depending on health goals it is administered either via injection or orally and is safe to cycle on and off as needed.
If you struggle with aches and pains, planning a big race or hunt or just want to work on the foundation of your health ie your gut health BPC-157 can be a great tool to utilize in your health journey.
