Online influencers have been marketing peptides in "stacks" for unproven uses, claiming they can be used as a quick way to look younger, help you heal and improve your skin

In animal models, BPC-157 has demonstrated remarkable properties across multiple organ systems: Tissue repair: Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and skin (Sikiric et al., 2018) Gastrointestinal protection: Protects and heals the gut lining, reduces intestinal inflammation, and counteracts NSAID-induced damage (Sikiric et al., 2016) Anti-inflammatory effects: Reduces systemic inflammation and modulates inflammatory cytokine expression Angiogenesis: Promotes new blood vessel formation, improving blood flow to injured tissues (Hsieh et al., 2017) Neuroprotection: Shows protective effects on the central and peripheral nervous system in animal models Nitric oxide modulation: Interacts with the nitric oxide (NO) system to support vascular health and tissue perfusion The peptide is sometimes called a healing peptide because of its broad tissue-protective properties

8 Accordingly, BPC 157 may, in addition to gastric lesions induced by dopamine antagonists, MPTP, and reserpine, counteract also their central disturbances such as akinesia, catalepsy as well as prolonged QTc intervals or sphincter malfunction in periphery
