Whether you’ve suffered from a previous (or current) injury or accumulated a buildup of bacteria within the gut due to environmental toxicity, if one’s cells become damaged due to these underlying causes, the body releases a special chemical that triggers a reaction from the immune system. This natural response releases antibodies and proteins causing an increased blood flow called inflammation.
While having inflammation is a sign that your body’s immune system is fulfilling its purpose, chronic inflammation can have negative long-term effects on the body and can even play a role in the development of certain diseases. When a patient has chronic inflammation, LifeWorks Wellness Center provides a wide range of treatment options, one of them being BPC-157.
What is BPC-157?
BPC (Body Protecting Compound) is a peptide composed of 15 amino acids that are derived from human gastric juice and contain natural healing abilities for different kinds of tissues within the system. Peptides are necessary in generating proteins that are designed to elevate and mimic normal bodily functions by promoting restoration of cells, homeostasis and anabolism. The purpose of BPC-157 is to provide protection to organs, prevent the spread of inflammation and help rejuvenate tissues. It is considered synthetic because the amino acids that it contains can only be produced by our bodies and cannot be found amongst any exterior natural resources.
The Benefits of BPC-157
Peptide BPC-157 serves a wide-range of advantages for the human body. Studies have proven that the amino acids within the gastric juices have a healing ability and can treat a multitude of inflamed tissues. Those who suffer with joint pain, injuries or autoimmune disease can benefit with this peptide’s therapeutic healing specialty as it enhances torn or damaged muscles, ligaments, tendons, sore knees, pulled hamstrings, sprained ankles or general aches. According to an article produced by Examine, BPC-157 has influenced other growth factors involved with angiogenesis, improves cognitive development, and produces protective effects towards gut health¹. Patients who suffer with leaky gut, stomach ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, and liver disease may find that peptide BPC-157 will help eliminate any symptoms and inflammation within both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. Additionally, this peptide also supports cell mitigation and survival, treats skin problems, heals wounds, and has been beneficial for segmental bone defects.
