Early research shows it may support blood flow to injured areas, collagen production, inflammation control, and nerve repair
It may also support the gut-brain axis by influencing neurochemical pathways and promoting communication between the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system (CNS)
Standard monitoring for Sermorelin or CJC-1295 protocols typically includes IGF-1 levels at baseline and periodically throughout treatment to confirm the peptide is producing the intended GH stimulation and to monitor for supra-physiological IGF-1 elevation
Seiwerth and colleagues (2021) published a comprehensive review in Frontiers in Pharmacology documenting BPC-157s effects across 22 separate gastrointestinal injury models, including perforated bowel, anastomosis healing, short bowel syndrome, and stress-induced ulceration
It was not worth it
Findings from published studies suggest possible mechanisms of action including increased collagen synthesis, modulation of inflammatory cytokines, and promotion of angiogenesis
