BPC-157 · How it works
New blood supply
Torn or worn tissue heals only as fast as fresh blood reaches it. BPC-157 raises the number of VEGFR2 receptors on the cells that line blood vessels and switches on the VEGFR2, Akt and eNOS chain inside them. That chain tells vessel cells to move, divide and form new small vessels. In rats with a cut-off blood supply to the leg, flow came back faster and more new vessels formed.
