BPC-157 is thought to work through several mechanisms, including: Upregulation of growth hormone receptors in tendon and muscle tissue Promotion of angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) Modulation of nitric oxide pathways to support tissue perfusion Anti-inflammatory effects via interaction with the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems Direct cytoprotective effects on the gut lining TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4 Synthetic Fragment) TB-500 is a synthetic analogue of Thymosin Beta-4 (T4), a naturally occurring peptide found throughout the human body, with especially high concentrations in platelets, wound fluid, and areas of active tissue repair
