Its mechanisms include: Nitric oxide modulation regulates blood flow and inflammation at injury sites Growth factor upregulation increases EGF, FGF, and VEGF expression Gut-brain axis signaling systemic effects mediated through the GI tract Dopaminergic system interaction neuroprotective properties BPC-157 is unique among healing peptides because it works systemically through the gut , even when administered locally
Reported side effects are generally mild and may include nausea, dizziness, headache, or injection site irritation
This 15-amino-acid peptide demonstrates remarkable stability and can be administered orally or by injection
This includes, but is not limited to, adenosine, N-methyl-D-aspartate, corticotrophin-releasing hormone, neurotensin, serotonin, histamine, and metabotropic and ionotropic glutamate receptors (Borroto-Escuela et al., 2013
