This interaction could potentially limit the cellular absorption of OxLDL, which is reputed to contribute to atherogenic processes
Early research finds some possible actions BPC-157 might have, including: Angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) Collagen synthesis and fibroblast activity (tissue repair) Nitric oxide regulation (vasodilation and blood flow) Even if BPC-157 caused these effects in humans, we still dont know whether the net effect would be good
