Scientific research Preclinical and early clinical studies of BPC-157 confirm acceleration of musculoskeletal injury healing (muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones), protection of GI mucosa from damage (NSAIDs, stress, ulcerative diseases), anti-inflammatory action in chronic conditions (arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases), angiogenesis stimulation (new vessel formation via VEGF/NO pathways), liver and cardiovascular protection from oxidative stress, and accelerated post-surgical recovery
It plays a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration
A small pilot study designed to evaluate the safety of lipoic acid in 30 people with relapsing or progressive multiple sclerosis found that treatment with 1,200 to 2,400 mg/day of oral lipoic acid for two weeks was generally well tolerated (see Safety) (95)
