Fistula healing: BPC-157 has demonstrated the remarkable ability to heal complex gastrointestinal fistulas in animal models including gastrocutaneous, esophagocutaneous, duodenocutaneous, and colocutaneous fistulas (Seiwerth et al., 2021, Front Pharmacol )
Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant, a co-factor for collagen synthesis, helpful in carnitine and catecholamine biosynthesis, and also it facilitates dietary iron absorption
For this reason, TB-500 has a stronger theoretical cancer concern than BPC-157
Atrophic gastritis can lower intrinsic factor production
A patient with a muscle strain may benefit from BPC-157, but tissue healing still requires time, protein, sleep, and a structured return to activity
