It protects those tissues from the "rust" caused by oxidative damage
In the literature BPC-157 is studied largely around angiogenesis and growth-factor signalling, often in localised tendon, ligament and gastrointestinal-tissue repair models, while TB-500 research centres on actin regulation and cell migration, more often discussed in systemic terms
Investigations assess its potential effects on cuprizone-associated demyelination, traumatic brain injury, neurotoxin-induced dopaminergic disruption, neurotransmitter regulation, and peripheral or central nerve regeneration
Clinicians should follow MHRA-approved prescribing indications and discuss potential benefits and limitations with patients
