Structurally, Dihexa is derived from angiotensin IV a naturally occurring peptide involved in brain function but has been chemically modified to dramatically enhance its potency and its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier
This means it simultaneously activates the receptors for GIP, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucagon
Its regenerative properties for muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues are promising
One literature review paper describes the efficacy of peptides and states that of the available research on BPC 157: [A]ll studies investigating BPC 157 have demonstrated consistently positive and prompt healing effects for various injury types, both traumatic and systemic and for a plethora of soft tissues
The enhanced NAD+ availability and improved mitochondrial function in muscle cells may actually support muscle maintenance and recovery
Abstract The glutathione (GSH) system is considered to be one of the most powerful endogenous antioxidant systems in the cardiovascular system due to its key contribution to detoxifying xenobiotics and scavenging overreactive oxygen species (ROS)
